to undergo two operations in 2021

Stokes to Brathwaite, torpedoed in front of the stumps, this time Joel Wilson gives it!
And after a brief chat with his partner, Brathwaite elects not to review...
Here we go, here we go: Umpire's call! So DRS wouldn't have saved him
and England have their breakthrough ~

West Indies need 221 runs.

2.40pm: Seven wickets, 38 overs 221 runs.
Could England swindle a dramatic result from this seemingly moribund Test...?
It's going to be a stiff ask, given how unyielding the surface has been throughout, but it's a chance, nevertheless -
West Indies will be battening down the hatches, still more than 200
from victory themslves, with first-innings centurion Nkrumah Bonner
the standard-bearer for what they need to do over the next couple of hours.

Leach to Blackwood, awful shot, and now the cat's among the pigeons!
A hopeless hack from Blackwood, completely clueless against the spin, he reviews his lbw, but out of hope rather than expectation... yep, smashing leg !
