England went into the three-match series against the West Indies hoping to rekindle their fortunes in the game’s longest format.
Andrew Strauss, England’s interim men’s director of cricket, made some adjustments, with seasoned players James Anderson and Stuart Broad being dropped for the West Indies series.
Batting collapses, on the other hand, seem to follow England everywhere they go, as the wheels came off for Joe Root and co. in the ongoing final Test of the series. England is facing a series defeat due to a poor batting effort.
England are 103/8 in the second innings of the ongoing third Test, with a 10-run lead. On Day 4, the West Indies would like to finish the job and win the series 1-0.

Former England captains Kevin Pietersen and Michael Vaughan expressed their dissatisfaction with the batting order on Twitter, claiming that there was no resistance on offer. Root, according to Pietersen, is suffering as a result of a flawed system.
“Joe Root, oh, how he suffers at the hands of such a dreadful system! There is no one in the world who can coach or captain that team better than you. There isn’t a single batting technique used! ZERO! I’m sorry for the players “Pietersen sent out a tweet.
Poor old Joe Root suffering at the hands of a system that’s so bad!
There is NO ONE who can coach or captain that team any better.
ZERO batting technique! ZERO!I feel for the players!
