Buttler, however, succumbed to a third-ball nought after he played on to Kemar Roach. Zak Crawley, in on a king pair, was then bowled by Roach for 11, with England captain Joe Root eight not out at the close. Earlier, West Indies saw opener Kraigg Brathwaite made 75 and Shamarh Brooks 68. All-rounder Roston Chases 51, which followed the off-spinners 5-172 in Englands first innings, then took them to the 270 they required to avoid the follow-on in the 2nd match of a project that marks world crickets return from the coronavirus lockdown. Play resumed Sunday in intense sunshine with Wisden Trophy holders West Indies, trying to find their very first series win in England because 1988. ☝ Brooks lbw Broad ☝ Blackwood b Broad ☝ Dowrich lbw BroadIs Broad having one of those spells? #ENGvWIhttps:// t.co/ 0h6Fud086l– ICC( @ICC) 1595175280000 Brathwaite and Brooks frustrated England in an appealing fourth-wicket stand of 76. Braithwaites hopes of following his 134 versus England at Headingley 3 years ago with another hundred ended when he was captured and bowled
by Stokes. It had actually taken Root till the 51st over of the innings to bowl his star all-rounder. Stokes kept pounding the ball in before he was rewarded with Brathwaites wicket in his 10th succeeding over. Worryingly for England, the paceman left the field but returned having actually suffered nothing more severe than indigestion. The West Indies, who had been 242-4 lost their last six wickets for 45 runs in 16.4 overs. Broad, controversially rested from the West Indies four-wicket win in the first Test at Southampton recently, did the bulk of the damage. Broad had Brooks plumb lbw prior to bowling Jermaine Blackwood, who made a match-clinching 95 at Southampton, for a duck with one that kept low. Shane Dowrich also fell for nought, lbw to Broad. England entered this match with a revamped rate attack. Having currently rested James Anderson and Mark Wood, they needed to omit Jofra Archer after the fast bowler admitted making an unauthorised trip home after the first Test that breached this series bio-secure health guidelines. Archer was back in the webs on Sunday after the England and Wales Cricket Board announced Saturday that, following a disciplinary hearing, he would be offered for the 3rd Test at Old Trafford beginning on July 24.

MANCHESTER:
Stuart Broad
revived Englands hopes of a series-levelling success in the 2nd Test with a trio of new-ball wickets even as the West Indies avoided the follow-on at
Old Trafford
on Sunday.
The veteran paceman took 3 wickets for one run in 14 balls as the West Indies were dismissed for 287 on the 4th day in reply to Englands very first innings 469-9 stated.
England, looking to draw level at 1-1 in a three-match contest regardless of Saturdays overall washout, were 37-2 at stumps– a general lead of 219.
They opened their second innings with
Ben Stokes
, who was 16 not out after top-scoring with 176 in the very first innings, and Jos Buttler in the hope of quick runs as routine first-wicket duo Rory Burns and Dom Sibley stayed in the changing space.
