5 talking points as England capitulate while Joshua da Silva and Kyle Mayers star

England are staring down the barrel of yet another series defeat after a woeful performance on day three of the final Test against the West Indies in Grenada. However, while England capitulated, Joshua da Silva and Kyle Mayers performed brilliantly for the hosts.

After play resumed with the hosts 28 runs ahead, England were desperate to wrap up the innings by taking the final two wickets quickly. However, Joe Root's side failed to do so, with the West Indies increasing their lead to 93 thanks to Da Silva's brilliant maiden Test century.

Saqib Mahmood got Kemar Roach caught down the leg side for 25, ending his crucial 68-run partnership with Da Silva. However, the wicketkeeper then added a further 52 runs alongside number 11 Jayden Seales as the West Indies were eventually bowled out for 297.
