Mark has Wood on Windies

-

Mark Wood took 5-41 in an intimidati­ng display of speed before England finished a tumultuous second day of the third cricket test at St Lucia with a 142-run lead over the West Indies. Sixteen wickets fell yesterday, with England dismissed for 277 in their first innings and then bowling out West Indies for 154. England were 19-0 in their second innings at stumps. England, who have already lost the threematch series 2-0, resumed on 231-4 but lost their last six wickets for 45 runs. Opener John Campbell top-scored for West Indies with 41 before falling to Moeen Ali, who returned 4-36. Wood registered about 150kmh on the speed gun as he snared his first test five-wicket haul.
