MANCHESTER – England needs five more wickets to win the test series after reducing the West Indies to 84-5 at lunch on the last day at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
Also, fast bowler Stuart Broad became the seventh man in test history to claim 500 wickets, and also took the catch that put the West Indies four wickets down. After rain washed out play on Monday, the third test resumed on time with England refreshed and in a predatory mood to regain the Wisden Trophy.
The West Indies was already two wickets down for 10 runs, any hope of making 399 to win long gone, and needing to bat through the day to force a series-saving draw. But after one brief interruption for a passing shower, Broad reached 500 wickets in style within the first hour when he trapped opener Kraigg Brathwaite plumb in front, struck low on the back leg on 19.
