Rory Burns made 90 runs
England seamer Stuart Broad left the West Indies on the ropes after the hosts batters made merry in the second innings to set the tourists a stiff target of 399 for victory on Day 3 of the third Test at Old Trafford here on Sunday.
At stumps, the Windies were reeling at 10/2, still needing 389 runs for an improbable win with two days of play left. Broad, who claimed figures of 6/31 in the first essay, removed John Campbell and nightwatchman Kemar Roach in a spell of sublime swing bowling to finish the day on 2/8.
This was after Rory Burns (90) missed out on a hundred as he was dismissed by Roston Chase. Skipper Joe Root remained not out on 68 off just 56 deliveries while Dom Sibley scored 56.
Brief Scores: England 369 & 226/2d (Burns 90, Sibley 56, Root 68 not out) vs West Indies 197 & 10/2 (Broad 2/8).
