Besides the fall of the wicket, Shai Hope is looking good for a big one. Can he save the day for Windies? He is dealing in fours at the moment. The score has moved to 68/3. 

16:36 (IST)

West Indies need lots of rain to them in this Test and series. And the camera shows that it has started to drizzle again. Hopefully for England that wont be the case. Windies are 58/3.

15:41 (IST)

In the two overs that have been bowled, the pitch has looked decent and the bounce has been even till now. Hope has shown good footwork till now. But it takes just one delivery to get out. It's going to be a long day for Windies batsmen. It's 16/2. 

15:34 (IST)

Anderson starts with a maiden and the score remains 10/2. Brathwaite needs to stay positive and not get into a defensive zone. Hope on the other hand need to prove his critics wrong.

15:30 (IST)

On to the live action now. Anderson has the ball in his hands and Brathwaite and Hope are starting the proceedings for Windies. It's 10/2 now. 

15:22 (IST)

The bowler was controversially omitted from England's four-wicket loss in the first Test at Southampton but starred in the series-levelling win at Old Trafford and has been the standout performer in the third Test, also at the Manchester ground. The 34-year-old has taken eight wickets in the match so far and scored a dashing 62 in England's first innings to change the course of the game. Strauss, who captained both Broad and Anderson, paid tribute to their longevity.

15:20 (IST)

Andrew Strauss says Stuart Broad has never been in better form as he closes in on 500 Test wickets, praising the "extraordinary" hunger of the paceman and his long-time new-ball partner Jimmy Anderson. Broad was kept waiting to join Anderson in the six-strong "500 club" after Monday's fourth-day washout in England's series finale with the West Indies at Old Trafford left him stranded on 499 Test wickets.

15:10 (IST)

So expect play today. There isn't much rain predicted today and we should be able to get a result. One thing is for sure, it won't be a draw due to incessant rain. The big news is that the rain is away too. So we should have start of play in time.

England vs West Indies 2020 Live Score, 3rd Test, Day 5 at Manchester: Rain Stops Play Again

England vs West Indies 3rd Test Day 5 latest updates: RAIN: Rain strikes again. This time looks like it'll be a longer break. West Indies are struggling at 83/5.

Day 4 report

Rain wiped out the fourth day's play at Old Trafford on Monday to frustrate England's bid for a series-clinching win over the West Indies and keep Stuart Broad waiting for his 500th Test wicket. Bad weather meant the whole of the penultimate day's play in the deciding third Test was washed out, with the umpires finally abandoning any hope of action soon after 4:00 pm (1500 GMT). England do, however, still have one day left to press for a win that would see them take the three-match series 2-1. Broad is just one wicket away from becoming only the seventh bowler to join the "500 club" after taking all six West Indies wickets that fell on Sunday. The 34-year-old paceman returned first-innings figures of 6-31 as West Indies were bundled out for 197 in reply to England's 369, which included Broad's dashing 62.

And after England made 226-2 declared in their second innings, featuring Rory Burns' 90 and fifties from captain Joe Root and Dom Sibley, there was still time for Broad to strike twice by removing John Campbell and nightwatchman Kemar Roach. That left Broad, controversially omitted from West Indies' win in the series opener at Southampton, on 499 Test wickets. The only bowlers with more than 600 Test wickets are a trio of former spinners -- Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan (800), Australian Shane Warne (708) and India's Anil Kumble (619).

The only seamers ahead of Broad are his long-time England new-ball colleague James Anderson (589 wickets) and Australia's Glenn McGrath (563) and the West Indies' Courtney Walsh (519), both of whom are retired. West Indies will resume on 10-2, chasing an unlikely victory target of 399. No side has made more to win in the fourth innings of an Old Trafford Test than England's 294-4 against New Zealand in 2008. West Indies, who hold the Wisden Trophy after a 2-1 win over Root's men in the Caribbean last year, are bidding for their first Test series success in England since 1988.
