Resuming on 98-2, West Indies lost three wickets in the morning session as England smelt victory.

Devon Smith drove James Tredwell straight to Gary Ballance at mid-on having only added six runs to his overnight 59.

Anderson then tied Sir Ian Botham’s mark of 383 Test wickets as Marlon Samuels (23) drove loosely and was caught by Tredwell in the gully.

The hosts went to lunch on 162-5 as veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul (13) was trapped leg before wicket by Joe Root shortly before the adjournment.

England had further hope when Jermaine Blackwood (31) played a reckless shot to Chris Jordan and was caught behind off a thin under-edge but skipper Dinesh Ramdin and Holder dug in.

They shared a 105-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Ramdin making 57 before Anderson took a historic 384th Test victim as the skipper nicked to Alastair Cook at slip.

However, Holder made his highest first-class score of 103, bringing up his ton by driving Tredwell over the top in the penultimate over and was given stout support by Kemar Roach (15) as the tourists were denied victory in a similar manner to the drawn Test on the same ground six years ago.

The series continues in Grenada on Tuesday.
