England are also on the cusp of victory, a feat which will help the hosts win the series 2-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Broad&#39;s six-wicket haul ensured the hosts took a huge first innings lead in the third #raisethebat Test on Day 3 and then he scalped two more in the second essay to leave the visitors on the brink.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>West Indies were left reeling at 10\/2 at the end of third day&#39;s play, still needing 389 runs to win. Opener Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope will return to the crease once rain relents at the venue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As for Broad, he needs just one more wicket to join an exclusive club of bowlers who have scalped 500 Test wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He will become the second Englishman after James Anderson to achieve the feat and seventh overall. Broad will also become the slowest (in terms of Tests) to go past this milestone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If England end up winning the Test, they will clinch the Wisden Trophy and if the visitors somehow manage to force even a draw, they will retain the title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scores: England 369 &amp; 226\/2d (Burns 90, Root 68*; Holder 1\/24) vs West Indies 197 &amp; 10\/2 (Hope 4*; Broad 2\/8)<\/p>\r\n",
