West Indies lead over England by 99 runs after Day 3

Britain is feeling the squeeze in the initial Test after West Indies took a first-innings lead of 114 on day three in Southampton. 

England (AP) — Half-century by Kragg Brathwaite and Shane Dowrich set up the West Indies' first-innings lead of 114 against England on day three of the main test at the unfilled Rose Bowl on Friday. 

The West Indies, continuing the day on 57-1, was all out for 318 not exactly an hour before stumps on the principal entire day of the downpour influenced test. In the center meeting, it outperformed England's first complete of 204.

From 57-1 short-term, the sightseers were, in the end, bowled out for 318, with Kraigg Brathwaite making 65, Shane Dowrich 61, and Roston Chase 47.

In doing as such, they exploited improved batting conditions under radiant skies at the unfilled ground, yet also put England's 204 all out into the setting.

The home side, at any rate, fought through an extreme 40-minute spell to begin their second innings as openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley arrived at 15-0, a deficiency of 99.

Toward the day's end, England openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley some way or another endure 10 overs of zippy bowling that constantly assaulted the off stump. They made 10 and 5 individually to have England 15 without misfortune and their deficiency down to 99.

Without a group to lift them, England's bowlers battled now and again.

Substitute skipper Ben Stokes put England on the back foot by deciding to bat first in perfect bowling conditions, yet he constrained the harm on day three by taking a catch and four wickets. 

In arriving at 150 test wickets alongside scoring more than 4,000 runs, he turned into the 6th man
to the accomplishment, after Garfield Sobers, Ian Botham, Kapil Dev, Jacques Kallis, and Daniel Vettori.

Substitute commander Ben Stokes furnished motivation with 4-49, James Anderson annoyed away for 3-62 and off-spinner Dom Bess intrigued in taking 2-51, however, the additional pace of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood didn't have an effect.

'We have a great deal of work to never really over into the game," England quick bowler James Anderson told the BBC.

"We need to bat the entire day tomorrow and get a nice lead to give us any possibility of dominating the match.

"I thought we bowled well in patches however not our best by and large as a unit. You can expect some corrosion first game back yet we didn't squeeze them for quite some time during the day."

That will just fuel the discussion over the choice to drop Stuart Broad, who genuinely talked about being "irate, baffled and gutted" to be forgotten about.

However, England is behind in this match since they didn't get enough pursues deciding to bat first in dark and soggy conditions.

They should place in an improved batting show on Saturday to set West Indies a testing objective to pursue on a pitch that is probably going to fall apart.
