ENG VS WI - 3rd Test, West Indies tour of England, 2020

Courtney Walsh. Glenn McGrath. Shane Warne. Muttiah Muralitharan. Anil Kumble. James Anderson. And today Stuart Broad the latest entrant into the 500-club. That's some greatness there. We've in fact been priviliged to witness a few great efforts in this series itself, where cricket's taken a step forward towards normalcy. Be it Holder in Southampton, Stokes in Manchester, and Broad in Manchester again. For this, the West Indies deserve a lot of credit to come to England and be a part of the bubble which couldn't have been an easy decision. Credit to the ECB as well for their monumental efforts to make this possible. That's all from us here. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Vineet Anantharaman, Nikhil Jadhav, Pradeep Krishnamurthy, MS Ramakrishnan and Akshay Maanay. A shoutout to our tech team as well to ensure smooth coverage. Back with you soon!

Root, England captain: The last two weeks have been excellent. We set out a game plan throughout the two games and we executed it pretty well in both departments. In the first game, with the first innings runs and in this game with the ball, we were outstanding. It's a great step forward for us as a batting group. You look at the talent among those guys, you feel they can exploit a lot different surfaces around the world. For him (Broad) to come back and make the impact in these two games is testament to how good a player he has been. Couldn't be more happy for him, especially the way he finished off today. Runs in the first innings, 500 wickets, it's a phenomenal achievement. The sort of player he is, he wants to be a part of the big occasion. More than anything he grabs the big moments in series. Wants to take the ball in difficult situations. Ashes series, South Africa in Johannesburg, this series, so many more. Very good with the other bowlers as well and he is happy to pass on his experience and advice. We're playing with two of England's best of all time. I have said it before, we got to understand how lucky we are. Real privilege to play alongside them (James Anderson and Stuart Broad.)

Holder, WI captain: Not quite sure what changed (after Southampton). Didn't get the runs we were looking for. Had plenty of starts. Got 40s, 30s but didn't kick on. In contrast, when Stokes got in and some of their players got in they went big. Won the first Test, so wanted to play our best team (for the second Test). Still considered workloads. Was just one of those decisions where we backed our best team. Will wait and see what happens with the calendar. Not sure what's going to happen. Looking at the actual cricket itself, need our batsmen to get runs. Can't ask bowlers to do much more than what they've done so far. Congratulations to Roach, congratulations to Broad as well. It's been challenging in the bubble, mentally getting worn out. Same hotels, same rooms. Definitely been challenging.

Chase, WI Player of the Series: Doing well against England gets you credit in the cricketing world, so it's a good incentive. For us to win the series, batsmen had to put up their hands. Guys have been showing signs of improvement but didn't do enough to come up victorious. Felt comfortable at the crease in the way I was moving around. That first innings in Southampton was the one for me to get the hundred. After that in Manchester it was moving around. Quite confident with my bowling from where I started in my career.

Broad, Man of the Match and England Player of the Series: Very special. When you get milestones, you want them to lead to match wins and series wins. So it feels very special today. Haven't ever really set any targets on that front (on how many wickets he would end up with). Have learnt a huge amount through my career. Have done some technical work that makes me feel in great rhythm right now. The competition keeps everyone performing. We've got a real battery of fast bowlers at the minute. Really strong bowling attack in these conditions. Have got the most out of the pitches. Chris Woakes today, he's been bowling beautifully since we got into the environment. The five-for is justified. Jimmy's still at the peak of his power, turns 38 in the break that we have. Such a pleasure to be playing with him. Have enjoyed playing this week together.

Really, it's been the weather that's been the biggest roadblock for England in Manchester. It took out a whole day in the second Test, and a whole day here as well. But they've still wrapped it up with around half a day to spare. That attack with the Dukes ball just operates on a different level in these conditions. And they didn't even need Ben Stokes here, offering him a well deserved rest after his heroics a week back. It could be close between him and Broad for England's Man of the Series. Actually, Stokes might edge it. Stay with us as we get everything from the presentations.

West Indies, alas, they've gone downhill rather rapidly after their sensational win in the first Test. Their decision to bowl first has caused intrigue, but then to play Cornwall ahead of a seamer having decided to bowl has flat out bewildered. Their weary pace attack has been unable to sustain the same discipline from one game to the other. And well their batsmen, they have just capitulated with the odd exception.

14:58 Local Time, 13:58 GMT, 19:28 IST: Well, wasn't it so very fitting for Broad to come back and finish it up. A game that's belonged to him, a series that's belonged to him despite being left out of the first Test. Ends up with 16 wickets, well clear of anyone behind. Helps England clinch the series 2-1, meaning that the Wisden Trophy will remain with them for eternity, as it's going to be retired after this series.

Broad to Blackwood, out Caught by Buttler!! Broad comes back and sticks the fork in it. Short of length at the body, cramps Blackwood up as he gloves his pull down leg. Excellent catch diving to his left from Buttler. That will also be 10 for the match for Broad. Blackwood c Buttler b Broad 23(48) [4s-2]

Broad to Blackwood, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Stuart Broad [8.0-1-36-3] is back into the attack

Woakes to Blackwood, 1 run, short of length around middle, Blackwood punches down the ground. Anderson jogs behind it hoping that it would cross the ropes, but it stops a few yards inside. So Blackwood will have his single to retain strike

Woakes round the wicket

Woakes to Blackwood, no run, defended to mid-on

Woakes to Blackwood, FOUR, there's the swagger from Blackwood as he crunches this through extra cover. Back of a length outside off, he stands tall and dismisses it off the back foot

Woakes to Blackwood, FOUR, short ball outside off, not a delivery Blackwood will hold himself back against. Flashes a top-edge over the keeper's head
