They play 5 full days in a test match. If the match doesn't end in 5 days, it's a draw. It's why both England and the West Indies declared in their first innings. Declaring is the equivalent of me getting 10 runs in a baseball inning and then turning to the umpire and saying "we've had enough." In cricket, it's a legitimate strategy.
Once England fell behind, though, they kept batting in their second innings and played for the draw.
Apologies to the real cricket experts on here. Compared to them, I am a hack.
