We take a look at the top 3 players from the Day 3 action.
Kraigg Brathwaite
The opener scored a very important hand of 65 runs to ensure that his side gets a good start. Brathwaite certainly played a very exceptional innings
Shane Dowrich
Shane Dowrich finally broke the shackles as his record in England was very poor so looking at that he played an amazing knock of 62 alongside a good partnership with Roston Chase who managed to score 47.
Ben Stokes
As West Indies was all out for 318 Stokes played an important part in dismissing the middle and lower order of the windies batting lineup as quickly as possible due to his effort of picking up 4 wickets was really helpful although England is trailing they won’t trail for long enough.
