England were dismissed for 376 in reply to the West Indies first-innings 282, a lead of 94 runs, on the second day of the third Test at Edgbaston on Saturday. Jamie Smith fell agonisingly short of a maiden Test century when the wicketkeeper was out for 95.

England collapsed to 54-5 early in the day's play before a stand of 115 between star batsman Joe Root (87) and captain Ben Stokes (54) revived the innings. Chris Woakes became the fourth England batsman to make a fifty on Saturday, and also put on 106 with Smith, before the all-rounder was eventually out for 62 on his Warwickshire home ground.

Alzarri Joseph took 4-122 in 17.4 overs but the fast bowler proved expensive, averaging nearly seven runs an over. England have already secured this three-match series at 2-0 up, following wins by an innings and 114 runs and 241 runs at Lord's and Trent Bridge respectively.
