England vs West Indies, 3rd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Broad drops another:

Okay, let's be fair, that was a very very difficult chance in his follow through. Bunted in the air by Dowrich to the left of the bowler, Broad dives across and barely gets fingertips. Never had the opportunity to wrap his fingers around the ball.

It's falling apart for Windies:

Anderson ripping through the Windies at Lord's! In all fairness, Blackwood looked like a walking wicket right since his arrival. And now he perishes. Dangles his bat away from the body, chasing an outswinger, and fencing it to the keeper.

Broad almost redeems himself:

A nip-backer from the pacer catches Blackwood plumb in front, or so it seems in real time. But the right-handed batsman reviews immediately, and UltraEdge proves that there's the faintest of inside-edges on it.

The epidemic continues:

Another DROPPED chance! The 1234332th one of the series. The catching has just gone to the dogs. Blackwood, liberated with the realization that he's got no chance of surviving by just blocking Anderson, tries to go over the top but mistimes it towards mid-off. It's Broad who is the fielder there. Should have been an easy take. But he waddles across trying to catch it beside his right shoulder, and the ball bursts right through the palms. Slaps the turf in disgust with the same humiliated palm!

Wicket in the first over:

Anderson at it straight away! He beat Chase on the outside edge off the very first ball, and then three balls later, he manages to get a good piece of it. No extravagant movement, just enough to open the batsman up on the back foot and take the edge to the keeper. Windies effectively 23/4.

All in readiness:

98 overs coming your way today, hoping that the weather stays clear. The sun is out for now. Players are in the centre, and here's Anderson with the ball.

- Anderson Hangover -

If you're a numbers person, here are all the possible digits that James Anderson smashed on his way to Club 500.

Our England correspondent, Rob Johnston, believes that James Anderson is a once in a generation bowler. Read on as he justifies that..

Both Anderson's first and 500th Test wicket were at the Lord's. Feelings on a momentous journey, from the man himself..

Warming up

Hello people! We are sure that you are still hungover in James Anderson mania. Yes, the morning newspapers, sports channels, social media, cricket portals and everywhere else, the only thing that is staring right into you is the Jimmy Boy feat. While the world is at his feat ever since he entered the elite 500-Test wicket club, there's a Test match going on - one that would decide the fate of the series. The deciding Test could not have been better placed and paced, with 14 wickets going down on the first day, followed by a brief revival for the hosts thanks to Ben Stokes's half-century.

And while the Windies have knocked off the slim deficit and clocked a lead of their own, they would need a lot more to feel safe and then drive momentum in the game. For all of that, the fourth day's action is going to be extremely crucial and might just have a telling impact on the fortune of the match. We hope that the weather is good in London as we all prepare ourselves to bring to you the fourth day's action.
