Nottingham: Harry Brook's unbeaten fifty guided England into a strong position at stumps on the third day of the second Test against the West Indies at Trent Bridge.
England were 248-3 in their second innings at Saturday's close, already a lead of 207 runs.
Brook was 71 not out and star batsman Joe Root unbeaten on 37, with the Yorkshire duo having shared an unbroken stand of 108 in 23.4 overs.
England had been in control against a wayward West Indies attack as Ben Duckett made 76, his second dashing fifty of the match, and Ollie Pope added 51 to his first-innings 121.
But a change of ball led to a change of luck for the West Indies, with paceman Alzarri Joseph removing both batsmen as England's 127-1 was soon transformed into 140-3.
