Welcome back! We are a few minutes away from the post-lunch session. The West Indies batsmen are well set in the middle after a good morning session today. And they must be aiming to reach the follow-on target of 270, so that they can force England to bat again.

24.2 OVERS: OUT! Dom Bess gets rid of Alzarri Joseph (32). West Indies 70/2
Finally, a breakthrough for England on Day 4. The introduction of spin worked for the hosts as Alzarri Joseph was caught at short leg by Ollie Pope.

* 50-run partnership between Kraigg Brathwaite (18*) and Alzarri Joseph (31*). West Indies 67/1 in 20 overs

16 OVERS: West Indies 36/1

* The players are out in the middle. Kraigg Brathwaite and Alzarri Joseph will begin the Windies innings. Chris Woakes with the ball for England.
* We will have 98 overs in the day with extended sessions.
England have a total of 196 overs to get 19 West Indies wickets and register a series-levelling victory at Old Trafford. But for that to materialise, the hosts need to bowl the visitors out before the follow-on target of 270 in the first innings. If the Windies manage to make England bat again, the most probable result of this contest is a draw.
15:00 IST: Weather Updates -- Good news guys, it's a sunny morning in Manchester.

"It's looking like we'll have to take 19 wickets in two days. But the wicket has offered something throughout the whole Test so far, so we just need to make sure we can expose that. And we know that once we get on a roll, anything is possible with the bowling attack we have." - England's Ben Stokes
Welcome back! It's day four of the second Test between England and West Indies at Old Trafford, which has seen play only on the first two days as the third day's play was washed out without a ball being bowled.
