[Watch] Stuart Broad in amusement over Michael Atherton sleeping in commentary box during ENG-WI 3rd Test

The third and final Test between England and the West Indies had a hilarious moment involving two former cricketers, Stuart Broad and Michael Atherton on Day 2 at Edgbaston. While Broad recently joined the Sky Sports team as a commentator following his retirement from the game after last year's Ashes, Atherton has been among their elite for years.

As the duo were doing their commentary stint in the final session on Day 2, Broad cheekily had the cameras show Atherton taking a short nap in the commentary box earlier in the day.

The two giggled watching the clip of Atherton sleeping, with Broad particularly amused by it. The former then sarcastically mentioned how Broad's commentary put him to sleep.

Here is a video of the comical moment:

Broad finished his career as the fifth leading wicket-taker in Tests with 604 scalps at an average of 27.68 in 167 outings. Meanwhile, Atherton scored over 7,700 runs in his Test career with an average of 37.69, including 16 centuries, in 115 games.

The duo also captained England in 127 games (Atherton - 97, Broad - 30) in their respective careers across formats.

England in pole position to complete series whitewash

As the commentary box was brimming with smiles, England overcame a torrid start to Day 2 and finished in pole position at stumps.

After restricting the West Indies to 282 in their first innings, the hosts collapsed to 54/5 at the start of the second day. However, England's talisman Joe Root produced another stellar knock, scoring a 124-ball 87 to wrestle control of the game from the visitors.

He overtook Brian Lara during his stay to become the seventh leading run-scorer in Test history and also breached the 12,000-run mark. Root was well supported by skipper Ben Stokes, who scored a quickfire 54.

Yet, the best was still to come as wicket-keeper Jamie Smith scored a sparkling 95 and shared a potentially match-winning 106-run partnership with Chris Woakes (62) to propel England into the lead.

They eventually finished on 376 with a massive 94-run lead and tightened the screws further by picking up two West Indian wickets in the second innings. At close on Day 2, the West Indies were reeling at 33/2 with a deficit of 61 runs.

England already wrapped up the series after commanding wins in the first two Tests and will look to complete a 3-0 whitewash at Edgbaston.
