England take two more West Indies wickets

England have reduced the West Indies to 234-6 at lunch on day three of the first Test in Antigua.

The hosts, who trail by 165, battled doggedly at the start of the morning session, but their resolve was undone when Shivnarine Chanderpaul was dismissed for 46 when he was caught by Ben Stokes off James Tredwell.

Jermaine Blackwood led the Windies' charge at the crease, passing his half-century following some poor England fielding.

However, the tourists made another breakthrough shortly before lunch as Dinesh Ramdin was caught behind by Jos Buttler off a Stuart Broad delivery for nine.

Blackwood (69*) and Jason Holder (7*) will resume out in the middle when play gets back underway.
