England failed to capitalise after bowling the West Indies out for 189 on the second day of the third Test in Barbados since their top and middle order completely collapsed.

Starting out the day on 240/7, England only managed to score 17 more runs before they were bowled out.

Jerome Taylor was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, while Shannon Gabriel and Jason Holder took two wickets apiece and Marlon Samuels and Veerasammy Permaul chipped in with one wicket each.

Trailing by 257, none of the West Indies batsmen, with the exception of Jermaine Blackwood, made any major contributions.

Blackwood was the only batsman to put up a fight as he scored 85 off 88 balls, which included 11 boundaries and four sixes, before the West Indies were skittled out for 189.

Despite having a 68-run lead in hand, England were unable to take advantage as Jonathan Trott, captain Alastair Cook, Ian Bell, Root and Ali were all dismissed in quick succession.

Gary Ballance and Stokes were the two batsmen left standing when stumps was called.

Ballance finished on 12 off 54 balls, which included one boundary, while Stokes has yet to get off the mark.

Taylor was once again the most successful bowler with two wickets, while Gabriel, Holder and Permaul all took one wicket each.

England ended day two on 39/5 and will continue batting tomorrow at 10:00 local time or 14:00 GMT.
