West Indies must still back themselves to escape with the draw that will allow them to retain the Wisden Trophy in this country for the first time since 1995. All out for 287, West Indies trailed by 182, with 38 minutes last night and a full 98 overs today to go. For most of the day, they had felt a wicket or two behind where they needed to be to make West Indies twitchy. Not long after the break, Sam Curran employed a clever off-cutter to have Shai Hope caught behind for 25, and for a while he looked the bowler most likely to trouble West Indies. But they also knew his self-imposed five-day exile had done for Plan A – one where Archer used his pace and venom to unsettle West Indies on a placid track.
