England were in a commanding position as they took a 94-run first innings lead over the West Indies and then had the tourists 33-2 at stumps on the second day of the third and final test on Saturday.

England, 38-3 overnight, scored 376 at Edgbaston before making inroads into the West Indies top order with the wickets of captain Kraigg Brathwaite and the struggling Kirk McKenzie in the last 80 minutes of play.

Earlier, Jamie Smith and Joe Root both fell agonisingly short of a test century while Ben Stokes and Woakes also scored half centuries on a day that started poorly for England but which they quickly turned around to dominate as they look for a clean sweep of the series.
