Moeen Ali's 93-ball 84 helped England set a mountainous target as a pulsating second Test threatened to slip through the West Indies' fingers on day four at Headingley yesterday.


The tourists have had their noses in front for the majority of the match but fell foul of England's deep batting reserves as Joe Root, Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes and Moeen all followed Mark Stoneman past 50 in a collective show of strength which saw them surpass their wildest dreams to declare 321 ahead on 490 for eight. West Indies were five without loss, still needing a further 317 runs to reach their victory target of 322.
