Top Picks
Ben Stokes will be the prime choice for captaincy in this Test match. The all-rounder is in the form of his life and with a century and a fifty in the previous Test, he showed that he knows the conditions in Manchester better than any other player. Stuart Broad cemented his place in the English team after emerging as the top wicket-taker for England in the previous match. Expect him to continue his dominance.
Shamarh Brooks looked in an excellent touch during the previous match. The Carribean batsman can be backed to play a big inning in the final Test match. West Indies skipper Jason Holder would look to lead from the front after a mild outing in the previous encounter. The all-rounder could prove to be a differential in this contest.
