Hello and welcome back, as cricket fans around the world hope for a dry Manchester today, for what could be a fascinating final-day Test match cricket to decide the three-game series, with hosts England favourites to win it, West Indies not out of it yet and weather possibly holding the key to the result. We, at Timesofindia.com, will bring you all the latest as the day progresses at Old Trafford. Stay tuned.
WHERE THE GAME STANDS: Rain kept Stuart Broad waiting for his 500th Test wicket as bad weather frustrated England’s bid for a series-clinching win on Monday.
Persistent rain meant the pitch and square remained fully covered and there was no play before lunch, with a fresh, heavy downpour in Manchester shortly before the scheduled interval further hampering prospects of action in the afternoon session.
Broad is just one wicket away from becoming only the seventh bowler to join the ‘500 club’ after taking all six West Indies wickets that fell on day three.
The 34-year-old paceman returned first-innings figures of 6-31 as West Indies were bundled out for 197 in reply to England’s 369, which included Broad’s dashing 62.
And after England made 226-2 declared in their second innings, featuring Rory Burns’ 90 and fifties from captain Joe Root and Dom Sibley, there was still time for Broad to strike twice by removing John Campbell and nightwatchman Kemar Roach.
That left Broad, controversially omitted from West Indies’ win in the series opener at Southampton, on 499 Test wickets.
West Indies will resume on 10-2, chasing a unlikely victory target of 399, with the series all square at 1-1.
No team has made more to win in the fourth innings of an Old Trafford Test than England’s 294-4 against New Zealand in 2008.
West Indies, who hold the Wisden Trophy after a 2-1 win over Root’s men in the Caribbean last year, are bidding for their first Test series win in England since 1988.
