Kyle Mayers was the unlikely destroyer of England's second innings with a first-ever five-wicket haul to put the West Indies on the verge of a series-clinching victory on the third day of the third and final Test on Saturday. After Joshua da Silva's maiden Test century extended the home side's first innings to 297 through the entire morning session for a lead of 93 runs, Mayers produced the astonishing figures of five for nine off 13 overs as England tumbled to 103 for eight by the close of play. It leaves the tourists in a hopeless position of only 10 runs ahead with just two wickets in hand and two days to play.
England struck three times on the second morning in Grenada as their bowlers kept the series decider against the West Indies alive.
