West Indies would be looking to avoid the follow-on when they resume their first innings against England.
On Day 2, Stuart Broad filled in as England’s all-action all-rounder to move the team within sight of a Test series victory.
Broad smashed a counter-attacking 62 in a return to form with the bat, then played a lead role as part of England’s destructive pace quartet to leave the West Indies on the ropes.
In reply to England’s first innings of 369, the West Indies were 137/6 when bad light forced stumps on a day the forecast rain never came in Manchester. They trail by 232 runs, with the follow-on still very much in play.
Resuming on 258/4, England collapsed to 280/8 after losing wickets in four consecutive overs, only for Broad to do his best impression of Stokes with a belligerent 45-ball 62 before lunch.
It was Broad’s highest Test score since 2013 and smashed nine fours and a six in a potentially game-defining ninth-wicket partnership with Dom Bess worth 76 runs. His 33-ball half-century tied him for third place on the all-time list of England’s fastest Test fifties.
The West Indies’ bid to capture a Test series in England for the first time since 1988 looking in ruins.
