England Fights Back

West Indian left-hander Jimmy Adams fell to a bizarre dismissal in the last over of the day and left England on top in the third test.


Adams smashed a full toss from leg-spinner Ian Salisbury against Robin Smith fielding at square short leg, the ball then ballooned into the air, and Jack Russell dashed out from behind the stumps to hold the catch.


West Indies, who trailed by 76 on first innings, were 143 for five at the close of the third day Sunday in their second innings, and will resume after Monday's rest day with a slender lead of 67.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
