England claimed four wickets in the afternoon session to take control on the second day of the third Test against the West Indies in Barbados.
Resuming on 37-3 after another impressive bowling display from James Anderson in the morning, the West Indies were immediately put under more pressure when Darren Bravo (9) was caught at slip by Chris Jordan off the bowling of Moeen Ali.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul offered some resistance with 25, but he fell to a moment of magic from Jordan, who changed direction at slip to take a stunning catch as Joe Root delivered with the ball once again.
Captain Denesh Ramdin (13) played a loose drive at a swinging ball to give Jos Buttler a catch off Stuart Broad's bowling, and the England wicketkeeper was involved once again when Ben Stokes caught Jason Holder's outside edge to dismiss him for five.
Jermaine Blackwood offered another example of his exciting talent to reach the tea break on 67 from just 71 balls, but, with the hosts struggling on 139-7, England will be confident of wrapping up the innings quickly.
Blackwood will resume alongside Veerasammy Permaul, who scored just one run before the interval, with the West Indies still 118 runs behind the tourists.
