England handed Ollie Robinson blow but Craig Overton returns for final West Indies Test

England seam bowler Ollie Robinson will miss the third Test in Grenada after failing to sufficiently recover from the back spasm he had at the start of the tour.

The news will be hugely frustrating for both the bowler and the team who had hoped he would lead the attack during the series against the West Indies. And he had seemingly made good progress with England medical staff in between the matches as he tried to prove his fitness.

Robinson had bowled several spells on the outfield during the lunch breaks in Barbados and had looked like he was moving without trouble and getting the ball down at a good lick. But two days out from the final game in Grenada he had a setback that has ruled him out of contention for the winner-takes-all clash.
