However, the third Test finished in less than three days after the second day produced 18 wickets, a record for a Test in the West Indies; the home side bowled England out for just 123 runs in the second innings, setting up a five-wicket victory as they chased down a target of 192.


Background

The tour was part of a very full England schedule for 2015, during which they played international cricket every month of the year. England were coming to the West Indies immediately after the
2015 Cricket World Cup The 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup was the 11th Cricket World Cup, a quadrennial One Day International (ODI) cricket tournament contested by men's national teams and organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was jointly hosted by Aust ...

three days after the final Test match. The schedule for the Test series was announced in August 2014, with the three Test matches scheduled to take place at: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada, and Kensington Oval in Barbados. Sir Vivian Richards Stadium hadn’t hosted a Test match since 2009, when a Test match between England and the West Indies was cancelled after just ten deliveries had been bowled due to an unsafe outfield. Grenada was also hosting its first Test match since 2009, and this marked the first time that England had ever played an international match at the National Cricket Stadium. England went into the tour in bad form on the back of a disastrous campaign in the World Cup. However, their most recent Test series had been a success, as they defeated

Squads

England announced their 16-man squad for the tour on 18 March 2015. One question for England going into the tour was who would open the batting alongside captain

in 2012. The incumbent in the role was Sam Robson, who had played seven Test matches for England in the summer of 2014, but his performances had been mediocre. He played for England Lions in a tour of South Africa in January 2015, where he made only 46 runs in three innings. The main alternatives for England, Adam Lyth and Alex Lees, had also gone on the tour, but neither had done much better than Robson and neither had any Test match experience. Another option was
Jonathan Trott Ian Jonathan Leonard Trott (born 22 April 1981) is a South African-born English former professional cricketer who played international cricket for the England cricket team and is the current head coach of the Afghanistan cricket team. Domestical ...
, who had not played an international match for England since the 2013-14 Ashes series, when he left Australia early due to a stress-related illness. Trott captained the England Lions on a tour of South Africa in January 2015 and scored an unbeaten 211 in the first unofficial Test match of the series to put himself back into contention to play for England. Although he had originally batted at number 3 for England, this spot was now filled by Gary Ballance, and Trott had said that he was happy to open the batting instead. England decided to leave Robson out of their squad for the tour, and included both Trott and Lyth as options to replace him. All-rounder

Tour matches

England's tour matches were played against a very weak St Kitts Invitational XI, which included several players who had never played a first-class match and a sixteen-year-old. After St Kitts won the toss and elected to bat first in the first match, England dismissed their entire team for just 59 runs before the first session had finished. England then went in to bat with Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott as their opening pair, and the two survived 50 overs and scored 158 runs before England lost a wicket. Trott scored a half-century and Cook a century, then the rest of England's batsmen had an easy time on the second day as well, with

both scoring half-centuries before England declared. England almost managed an unlikely victory in the two-day match, but they couldn't take all ten wickets before stumps. England's bowlers were mostly impressive, and James Tredwell looked to be bowling better than Adil Rashid, making him the more likely of the two to play in the first Test match. The second tour match wasn't a proper match of cricket. The match was set up so that the St Kitts Invitational XI would bat for the entire first day regardless of how many wickets they lost, then England would bat for the entire second day regardless of how many wickets they lost. In an effort to give match practice to as many of England's players as possible, a number of players from England's squad played for both England and the St Kitts XI. Reserve wicket-keeper

Only a late flurry from Chris Jordan (21) and James Anderson (20) kept an air of respectability for the England tail, helping them to a total of 399 by the end of the innings, Roach finishing with figures of 4/94. The West Indian response started in a more measured fashion than England's, but wickets continued to fall at regular intervals, and they were 99/4 by the 38th over. However,

were able to help them recover to 155/4 by the end of the day. Day three started with continued resistance from Chanderpaul and Blackwood, before Chanderpaul offered a relatively simple catch to Stokes off the bowling of Tredwell, falling four runs short of a half-century. After that, Holder was the only tail-ender to offer any resistance to the England bowling, as Blackwood seized control of the innings to record a maiden Test century in only his sixth match. Blackwood finished unbeaten on 112 as he ran out of partners to leave the West Indies all out on 295, 104 runs short of England's first innings total. England's second innings again began with early wickets, losing Trott (4) and Cook (13) within seven overs, followed by Bell (11) shortly after, but a solid partnership between Ballance and Root helped England stabilise their innings on 116/3 by the end of the day. Both Ballance and Root passed their half-centuries early on the fourth day before Root (59) was bowled by Holder midway through the first session, the pair having added 114 runs for the fourth wicket. In search of a sufficient lead to allow a declaration, Stokes scored a quickfire 35 before he was stumped off the bowling of Sulieman Benn. Buttler then came out and scored an even quicker 59, while Ballance passed 100 runs at the other end. Fifty partnerships for the fifth, sixth and seventh wickets helped England to a total of 333 before the loss of Jordan prompted the tourists to declare. England made an early breakthrough as the West Indies attempted to reach a target of 438, dismissing

England continued to press for the final three wickets, but Holder stood firm on the way to a maiden Test century, and he and Roach batted out the day to end the match as a draw.

by Holder for 16, followed by Broad for a duck after a review found the ball brushed his glove on the way through to slip. Root continued to farm the strike opposite Anderson for the final wicket, only for the innings to be brought to an abrupt end when Anderson was run out, having failed to ground his bat behind the crease when he could have easily saved himself. The wicket denied Root the chance of a double-century, as he finished not out on 182, with England all out for 464. England made an early breakthrough yet again as the West Indies began their second innings, Anderson bowling Devon Smith for 2 runs, but a 142-run partnership between Brathwaite and Bravo restored the West Indies to 145/2 following the dismissal of Bravo by Broad. The home side were on 202/2 at stumps, helped by a century from Brathwaite, leaving them 37 runs ahead of England going into the final day of the match. Brathwaite made just 15 more runs on the morning of the final day before he fended a ball from Anderson to Root in the gully. The next seven wickets fell for just 76 runs, the majority coming from Samuels (37) and Ramdin (28). Anderson continued to be among the wickets, dismissing both Samuels and Chanderpaul (7), as well as running out Holder with a direct hit for 2 runs. The other four wickets fell to Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan, as the West Indies were dismissed for 307, setting England a target of 143 to win. Although they lost Trott for a duck in the second over, Cook (59) and Ballance (81) were able to steer England to victory with relative ease, as Ballance became the third-fastest England
