The third Test match of the ongoing England’s tour of West Indies will be played in Grenada from today. In what will be St George’s fourth Test match, this one will be played after almost a seven-year gap.
West Indies, who have been part of all the previous three Test matches at this venue by virtue of being the hosts, are yet to register a victory after two losses and a draw. England, on the other hand, had emerged as the victorious side in their only Grenada Test appearance in 2015.
Last of a three-match Test series, both West Indies and England would be keen to register a victory in this match especially after the first two drawn matches. While both the teams have had their share of glory in this series, neither has managed to convert it into a Test match victory so far.
