MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - England need to bowl West Indies out cheaply and try to force a follow-on to have any chance of winning the second test, said seamer Sam Curran ahead of the third day on Saturday which was delated by rain.

“If we do get washed out today it is quite obvious what we need to do to win the game,” Curran told Sky television on Saturday as the start of play was delayed.
