Joshua Da Silva and Shamar Joseph shared an entertaining last-wicket partnership of 71 to earn West Indies a 41-run lead over England at lunch on the third day of the second Test at Trent Bridge on Saturday.

England picked up four wickets and looked set to enjoy a narrow first-innings advantage before Da Silva and Joseph combined to lift the touring side to 457 all out and leave the match finely poised.

Da Silva finished unbeaten on 82, including three sixes, and Joseph struck two sixes in his 33 before he was caught by Gus Atkinson off Mark Wood.

Resuming on 351-5, Jason Holder was caught by wicketkeeper Jamie Smith off Chris Woakes for 27 and Kevin Sinclair slashed Atkinson to gully where Harry Brook held a sharp catch.

Alzarri Joseph edged Woakes to Smith for 10 and the seam bowler bowled Jayden Seales first ball.

Shamar Joseph survived the hat-trick delivery but Da Silva moved to his fifth test fifty and found a willing partner in Joseph to give the game another twist.

England won the first match of the three-Test series by an innings and 114 runs at Lord's.
