Paul Farbrace hints at unchanged England side

Assistant coach Paul Farbrace suggests that England are likely to name an unchanged side against the West Indies in Bridgetown.

Assistant coach Paul Farbrace has hinted that England will name an unchanged side in the third Test against the West Indies in Bridgetown.

England head into the final match of the series with a 1-0 lead following the nine-wicket triumph in Grenada, and despite suggestions that the tourists could hand Adil Rashid a Test debut on Friday, Farbrace has indicated that Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes are likely to retain their places.

"Jordan and Stokes are two people we want to keep developing. Yes, they might be quite similar but there was good progression by playing them," he told reporters.

"The great thing with Stokes is that for five days he gives you absolutely everything. The more he plays the better he'll be, there's no doubt about that. And Jordan seems to be progressing all the time.

"If you were thinking of spin they're the most likely [to make way] but at the same time you want to keep progressing them, keep pushing them forward and we've all seeing the progress that the two of them are making."

Jonathan Trott is also likely to keep his place despite pressure from Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth.
