England is poised to face the West Indies in the third and final Test match, aiming to complete a series whitewash after taking a 2-0 lead. The first Test at Lord's saw England dominate with a convincing innings and 114-run victory, marking a fitting farewell for the illustrious career of Jimmy Anderson.
The second Test at Trent Bridge was a closer contest, but England still emerged victorious by 241 runs, with the West Indies bowled out for 143 in their second innings. The match witnessed historic milestones for England, including Shoaib Bashir becoming the first spin bowler in 18 years to take five wickets in a Test match at Trent Bridge, and Harry Brook scoring his maiden Test century on home soil. The stage is now set for the series finale in Birmingham on Friday.
England
England have named an unchanged squad for the third and final Test and could field a similar lineup from their second Test, with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett as the openers. Joe Root and Harry Brook are in fine form and there is little reason for the hosts to change a working setup.
West Indies
Led by Brathwaite, the Windies will hope for an improved performance in the third Test, with the likes of Kirk McKenzie, Kavem Hodge, and Shamar Joseph expected to feature once more.
Jeremiah Louis has been replaced in the West Indies Test squad by Akeem Jordan due to injury. Louis sustained a hamstring injury during the second Rothesay Test at Trent Bridge and has been ruled out of the series.
Jordan has been in the UK and has joined up with the squad, taking part in training on Wednesday. Louis has remained with the squad for further treatment.
