West Indies v England - 3rd Test Day Five

The 3rd Test of the 5 match series in between West Indies and England at St John's saw an incredible rearguard from the hosts' number 11 Fidel Edwards. England had dominated the Test match from the start and looked on course to square the series 1-1 when the West Indies were reduced to 353/9 in pursuit of 503 on the last day.

With 10 overs still to go, England were expected to wrap it up but fast bowler Fidel Edwards, who came in at number 11 put up a dogged resistance. Along with number 10 Darren Powell, the duo absorbed everything England could throw at them and emerged triumphant as the Test ended in a draw.

Edwards faced 26 deliveries and even hit a boundary to score 5 runs but more importantly, he helped save a Test that looked lost. All the other Tests were drawn and West Indies won the series 1-0 eventually.
