Broad burst gives England a sniff: 2nd Test, Day 4 (Manchester)

An explosive 3 wicket burst with the new ball from Stuart Broad kept alive England's hopes of winning the second Test against West Indies.

The Windies were coasting to the safety of a draw. Kraigg Brathwaite made 75 and Shamarh Brooks 68, but when Brooks was trapped lbw by Broad it began a slide from 242-4 to 260-8. Roston Chase's 51 edged the tourists past the follow-on mark before they were routed for 287.

England, opening with aggressive intent with Stokes and Buttler at the top, ended on 37-2. England lead by 219 runs heading to the last day of the 2nd Test, seeking a win as its already 0-1 down in the 3 Test series.

England 469 for 9 declared and 37 for 2 (Stokes 16*, Root 8*, Roach 2-14) lead West Indies 287 (Brathwaite 75, Brooks 68, Chase 51, Broad 3-66, Woakes 3-42) by 219 runs.
