Stuart Broad revived England's hopes of a series-levelling victory in the second Test with a trio of new-ball wickets even as the West Indies avoided the follow-on at Old Trafford on Sunday. The veteran paceman took three wickets for one run in 14 balls as the West Indies were dismissed for 287 on the fourth day in reply to England's first innings 469-9 declared. England, looking to draw level at 1-1 in a three-match contest despite Saturday's total washout, were 37-2 at stumps -- an overall lead of 219.

They opened their second innings with Ben Stokes, who was 16 not out after top-scoring with 176 in the first innings, and Jos Buttler in the hope of quick runs as regular first-wicket duo Rory Burns and Dom Sibley remained in the changing room. Sibley made 120 in the first innings but took nearly eight hours to reach three figures. Buttler, however, fell for a third-ball nought after he played on to Kemar Roach. Zak Crawley, in on a king pair, was then bowled by Roach for 11, with England captain Joe Root eight not out at the close. Earlier, West Indies saw opener Kraigg Brathwaite made 75 and Shamarh Brooks 68. All-rounder Roston Chase's 51, which followed the off-spinner's 5-172 in England's first innings, then took them to the 270 they needed to avoid the follow-on in the second match of a campaign that marks world cricket's return from the coronavirus lockdown.
