Assuming the weather is going to be dry tomorrow, there'll be three sessions to set a target, and get 10 wickets - a tall order, especially if the wicket behaves itself and the Windies batsmen don't want to play ball. Going into the 3rd Test leading 1-0 is what they want, and I doubt very much if they'll go into One-day cricket mode to risk a victory.

Well well well! England won by 113 runs with an hour's play remaining.
If that was Pakistan batting, there would be serious questions being asked!
The Windies were looking comfortable playing for a draw, admittedly losing wickets when going for (unnecessary) shots, but maybe the TV/advertisers, with less interest for the final Test, thought about making it an all-to-play-for/winner takes it all scenario, and offered an 'enticement' to the tourists! 🤔😳
Or maybe I'm just more of a cynical git than I thought.
But no taking away from Stokes' match performance: what a competitor!
