England vs West Indies 2020, 3rd Test: Toss Report

The first international series after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown is set for a grand finish. The three-match series between England and West Indies is finely poised with both the teams winning one match each so far.

West Indies started the series on a thumping note by winning the first Test by 4 wickets. England then bounced back in style to win the second game. Riding on Ben Stokes’ stunning all round performance, the hosts thrashed the visitors by 113 runs to force a series-decider.

England will be looking to make the most of the momentum after winning the second Test while West Indies will be desperate to bounce back. With so much at stake and both the teams in good form, one can expect a cracker of a game in Manchester.

If West Indies win the third Test, it will be their first Test series win in England since 1988. Who are you backing?#ENGvWI preview ? https://t.co/ihWcoHYQch pic.twitter.com/gyUOlWK8uX
