3rd Test, Day 3: Joshua Da Silva and Kyle Mayers put West Indies on cusp of stunning series win over England
India TodayJoshua Da Silva scored a brilliant hundred and Kyle Mayers took a five-wicket haul to put West Indies on the brink of a stunning victory over England at stumps on day three of the deciding Test in Grenada on Saturday. Da Silva’s first-ever hundred in Test cricket helped West Indies rack up 297 in the first innings, with the wicketkeeper farming the strike throughout the morning session before reaching his ton just before lunch. But lower-order runs have been the theme of this Grenada Test, and just like in England’s first innings the partnerships for wickets nine and ten ended up yielding the most runs for West Indies. Da Silva’s brilliance meant that the last four West Indies wickets had contributed 202 runs to the total of 297, putting the hosts into an advantageous position in the match having looked vulnerable at 95/6.
