England have had a shaky start to their third Test against the West Indies in Bridgetown after losing the wickets of Jonathan Trott, Gary Ballance and Ian Bell.

Skipper Alastair Cook, who has been under particular scrutiny in this series due to his recent poor form with the bat, has reached lunch unscathed as England sit on 71-3 .

In the third ball of the innings, Trott was the first to go after he looped to square-leg off Shannon Gabriel's delivery - making it his third duck of the series.

Ballance entered the field to help recover England's poor start, but he and Cook could only put on a 37-run partnership before going two wickets down.

The 25-year-old was sent back to the pavilion after hitting just 18 off 46 balls due to a fast and straight attempt from Jason Holder, who watched the ball clatter into the top of off stump.

Just two overs later, Holder claimed his second wicket of the Test when Ian Bell tried to drive back down the ground, but he timed the shot too early and his opponent managed to claim the return catch to send the batsman out for a duck.

The West Indies launched an ambitious review towards the end of the morning session as Veerasammy Permaul was convinced that he caught Cook at short leg, but the call was waved away.

Cook (31*) and Joe Root (19*) will return to the crease for the afternoon session.
