England vs West Indies (ENG vs WI) 2nd Test Day 4 Live Cricket Score Online Updates: West Indies reached lunch on the fourth day on 118-2 in its first innings as England searched desperately for wickets to give itself a chance at a series-leveling victory in the second test on Sunday. Earlier, the visitors resumed on 32/1, with Kraigg Brathwaite on six and nightwatchman Alzarri Joseph on 14 after play was abandoned without a ball being bowled on the third day.
Windies are still quite far behind after England declared their first innings on 469/9, seeking to level the series after losing the first Test in Southampton. They need to reach 270 in their first innings to avoid being told to follow on.
Fourth ball of the second innings, and West Indies have poured water all over England's daring plan! Kemar Roach sends Jos Buttler back to the pavilion after he drags the ball back to his own stumps. Not a good experiment. ENG are 1/1.
109 overs left. 182-run lead. Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler will open for England. Exciting finish?
And Woakes closes West Indies' chapter here by dismissing Shannon Gabriel for a duck. Clean bowled. Kemar Roach stay unbeaten on 5*. WI are 287-all out. They trail by 182 runs.
And just like that he's gone! Two balls after he reached his fifty, he is dismissed by Woakes! England review the LBW and it goes in their favour breaking a four-year-long record of umpire Michael Gough, where not a single fielding team's reviewed decision given by him has been overturned. But this one looked dead plumb. The all-rounder walks off having scored 51. WI are 287/9.
What a brilliant innings by Roston Chase! Off Curran, he takes a two and reaches his 9th Test fifty! 83 balls and seven boundaries. WI are 287/8. They still trail by 182 runs.
Roston Chase is the man of the hour for West Indies. 21 runs from the last three overs, and all of them have come from his bat including four boundaries. Neither Woakes nor Curran have any answer as the spinner nears 50. WI are 283/8.
West Indies held on for a little more than four overs, but they have lost another wicket now. Chris Woakes joins in on the fun and gets the key wicket of Jason Holder (2) in his kitty. The Windies captain pokes it behind and it's caught by Root. WI are 260/8.
Another West Indies batsman, another duck! Stuart Broad has been lethal in the third session and not even a review could save Shane Dowrich from walking back to the pavilion. Broads delivery seams back in and stays lower than expected, and hits Dowrich's pads right in the middle. England in the driving seat as Jason Holder comes on. WI are 252/7.
A peach of a delivery from Broad! Jermaine Blackwood had no chance at all. The hero of Southampton is dismissed for a duck after Broad's lethal seam breached Blackwood's defences. Is the tide turning to England's favour now? WI are 248/6.
And that's what Root was expecting with the new ball! Broad sends Shamarh Brooks packing after he traps the batsman between the wickets. Brooks walks off having scored 68 with 11 boundaries. On comes Jermaine Blackwood. WI are 242/5.
Broad has taken the second new ball and continues on England's mission to wrap up West Indies as soon as they can. Will the Windies batsman go on the offensive now? Brooks certainly thinks so as he smacks Broad's full-length delivery straight to third-man. Six runs from the over. WI are 241/4 after 81 overs.
After Brooks (63*) was spared by a mishit during a runout situation in the previous Bess over, Chase (13*) has now doubled up on their fate as he smacks the off-spinner to the long-off fence. He retains strike with a single. WI are 235/4 after 80 overs.
Stuart Broad restarts the proceedings in the third session of the day after a 20-minute break. Roston Chase (8*) manages to weather the storm of the veteran pacer as the over goes for a maiden. Brooks is on 60*. WI are 227/4 after 77 overs.
The tactics of extra bounce works and Brathwaite prods it straight back to Stokes. WI- 201/4
Is it time for England to try something new? Chris Woakes and other faster bowlers have bowled much wider today. On cue, Stokes seems to have taken the advice seriously and has started to go around the wicket and is bumping it short. West Indies 195/3 after 68 ovs
WI. 178/3, trail by 291. 92 more needed to avoid the follow-on. Brathwaite is batting on 65 and giving him company is Brooks on 34. Brooks is shaping up quite well. How many will the Windies be trailing by once the new ball is due?
The visitors have once again shown grit and resilience batting on Day 4. This has been the highlight of the Windies on this tour- their solidarity in batting. The match is surely heading towards a draw if a follow-on is avoided. WI- 173/3 after 57 overs, trail by 296 runs.
The umpires disinfect the ball after Dom Sibley admitted to accidentally using some saliva on it.
Broad's lbw review sticking with umpire's call. He then reaches his 50! West Indies 131/3, needing 270 to avoid the follow-on.
