After a high-scoring second Test in Bridgetown ended in a draw, the action now moves to Granada, as West Indies take on England in the third and final game of the three-match Test series on Thursday. The third Test will be played at the National Stadium in St. George’s, Grenada, from Thursday, March 24 to Tuesday, March 29 and the game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST.
The three-match Test series is currently leveled at 0-0 as the first two ended in a stalemate. The bowlers from both sides failed to make an impact as plenty of runs were scored in the second Test match at Bridgetown. After electing to bat first, England declared at 507/9 on the back of centuries from Joe Root and Ben Stokes. The Windies captain Kraigg Brathwaite (160) and Jermaine Blackwood (102) smashed tons before their side were knocked out at 411, handing England a lead of 96.
The visitors declared their second innings at 185/6, setting a target of 281 for the hosts. England did pick up five wickets, but the home team skipper Braithwaite once again stepped up with an unbeaten on 56 off 184 balls to help his side draw the match.
It is expected that the pitch at Granada might have something for the bowlers to keep the balance between bat and ball. However, with the intense battle shown by both sides, the deciding third Test could end in a draw as well.
