England Vs West Indies Third Test Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe West Indies paceman had been doubtful for this match following a bout of flu but was included as the tourists looked to salvage some pride at 2-0 down in a three-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
West Indies were forced into making one change to the team that lost the second Test by 241 runs, with all-rounder Kevin Sinclair ruled out after having his forearm fractured by England fast bowler Mark Wood at Trent Bridge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His place was taken by Gudakesh Motie, the man Sinclair replaced in Nottingham after the left-arm spinner withdrew because of illness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
West Indies gained a first-innings lead at Trent Bridge after making 457 only to collapse dramatically as they slumped to 143 all out second time around.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brathwaite, explaining his decision to bat first on a sunny day, said: "The pitch looks a good one and the weather is good so we've got to utilise that."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England were unchanged following a comprehensive win in their first Test since the retirement of fast-bowling great James Anderson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Victory in Nottingham gave England, who won the first Test at Lord's by an innings and 114 runs, a first red-ball series win since 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"When you have two very dominant performances, it's hard to make changes," said England captain Ben Stokes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
