2:15pm Alzarri leads the pack out with the match ball in hand. Applause from his team mates and the West Indies coaching staff. Once again the bowling group has done its bit with the Josephs - Alzarri and Shamar - sharing nine wickets. West Indies' target is 204 but they have only once gone past the 200 mark in this series. Can they do it today? Find out shortly with Alex on the wheel
