Jimmy Anderson claimed his 381st Test wicket to move to within two of Ian Botham's record but it was a frustrating second day for England in Antigua against the West Indies.

The tourists had finished the first day on 341 for 5, but their remaining five wickets went for just 42 as Kemar Roach finished with figures of 4 for 94. Instead of putting the game out of reach for the Windies, Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad both fell without scoring while Ben Stokes added just eight to his overnight score of 71.
