West Indies added 98 runs to their overnight total at a sun-drenched Headingley as they were bowled out for 427 - a lead of 169 - and England were 171-3 at the close, two runs ahead. England had struggled to 94-3 before Root and Dawid Malan dug in for a 77-run partnership that left the match finely balanced. West Indies skipper Jason Holder, who earlier shared a 75-run partnership with Jermaine Blackwood, removed England opener Alastair Cook for 23 after he and Stoneman put on 58 for the first wicket. Holder then had Tom Westley caught behind for eight, the England batsman rashly chasing a wide one. An enthralling day's cricket began in incredible fashion when James Anderson took wickets with the first two balls of the day after West Indies resumed on 329 for five.
