West Indies all-rounder Kevin Sinclair has been ruled out of the series finale against England at Edgbaston after having his forearm fractured by fast bowler Mark Wood in the second Test.

Sinclair, only called up on the morning of the game at Trent Bridge after fellow spinner Gudakesh Motie took ill, suffered a&nbsp;painful blow on the fourth evening when a rapid delivery from Wood flicked the wrist band of his glove before looping to the slip cordon.

His exit for one was part of a West Indies collapse that saw the tourists slump from 61 without loss to 143 all out as England won by 241 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in a three-match series.

West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite told a pre-match press conference at Edgbaston on Thursday that Motie would now come back into the side but that the 11 had still to be confirmed as fast bowler Shamar Joseph is suffering from flu.

The uncapped Akeem Jordan, who has been playing locally for Birmingham League side West Bromwich Dartmouth, was called up into the squad on Wednesday after fellow quick Jeremiah Louis -- who did not feature in the first two Tests -- was ruled out with injury.

Now the 29-year-old Jordan, who has taken 67 wickets in first-class matches at 24.10, could make his Test debut at Edgbaston.&nbsp;

"Sinclair is out with a fracture," said Brathwaite. "He got a blow from Mark Wood, So, Motie's back in. And we have called up Akeem Jordan, so we have a 12."

"We've named a 12 because Shamar Joseph just has a bit of flu. So, we're waiting on tomorrow (Friday) morning to make the decision on the 11."

Although the West Indies have lost the series, Brathwaite said they would still have plenty of motivation at Edgbaston.

"We have five Tests remaining for the year and, you know, World Test Championship points are still at stake.&nbsp;We have a lot to play for and that's my thing to the boys."

"You know, we are still in the running for the Test Championship and obviously we're looking for points as well."

<h2>Got to be on it</h2>

Unlike their innings and 114-run defeat in the series opener at Lord's, the West Indies were competitive for large parts of the match at Trent Bridge and even gained a first-innings lead.

They were well-placed in their second innings before a flurry of wickets cost them dear, Shoaib Bashir doing the bulk of the damage as the 20-year-old off-spinner took 5-41.

"We had a fifty opening stand and then, from there, we lost 10 wickets quite quickly," said Brathwaite.

The 31-year-old opener, out for 48 and 47 at Trent Bridge, added: "It shows that you've got to be on it always, not just for the first three days."

"As soon as you lose that focus and it could be as a bowling unit or a batting unit, you know, and you lose it for an hour, you could be behind the Test match and lose it."&nbsp;

"So we should learn from that and obviously the learning for that is just never taking anything for granted."

"As long as we keep that attitude of fighting every session, I think that will serve us well."

ENG vs WI 3rd Test: West Indies all-rounder Kevin Sinclair out of third Test in Birmingham

West Indies all-rounder Kevin Sinclair did a stunning cartwheel celebration after dismissing Australia's Usman Khawaja on day 2 (Jan 26) of the ongoing second Test in Brisbane. West Indies had Australia on the ropes in the first innings with 54/5 but Khawaja stood tall. The 2023 Test Cricketer of the Year added 96 with Alex Carey (65) for the sixth wicket and 81 runs with skipper Pat Cummins (64 not out) for the eight wicket before being dismissed for&nbsp;75.&nbsp;

The batter, however, was dismissed against the run of play by Sinclair. The left-arm spinner pitched the ball outside off and Khawaja, in an attempt to drive, edged the ball to first slip where Alick Athanaze caught it gleefully. Sinclair, who's making his debut in the match, went off after taking up his maiden Test wicket and did the insane cartwheel celebration. Have a look at the video below:

By the time Khawaja went back, Australia trailed by just 69 runs in the first innings against West Indies' 311 - something which looked impossible a little before that.

After Khawaja's departure, Cummins added 47 runs more for the ninth wicket with Nathan Lyon (19) before announcing a shock declaration. Australia finished 22 runs short of West Indies' first innings total. The declaration came as Australia wished to get a couple of West Indian wickets in the second innings before the end of play in day 2. The plan worked eventually as Josh Hazelwood sent back Tagnarine Chanderpaul in the last over of the day as the visitors finished 35 runs ahead at 13/1.

Earlier in the match, Australia were on top of things by pinning down the visitors at 64/5 in the first innings on day 1 before Kavem Hodge (71), Joshua de Silva (79) and Kevin Sinclair took West Indies past 300. &nbsp;
