Stokes third time unlucky.

Out for 43.

Holder gets his third wicket.

5 for Holder, pins Archer in no time at all. This truly has been high quality bowling from Holder in these conditions.... Archer comes up short with the bat again

Another review though... the umpires not having a good day at all

In fact, with all English umpires, I wonder what it will look like when half of Windies wickets have been overturned reviews if they suddenly become trigger happy in Windies innings.

Hats off to Holder... He has done a great job here , as captain and as bowler :salute

Useful last wicket stand here. Bess and Jimmy playing sensible cricket...and the unlikely goal of 200 has been reached !

Last session will be interesting : if England can follow up this late resistance with wickets they might yet have the high ground by stumps ?

204/9...

204/10 actually now.

Good last stand with vital runs. Hard to judge par, ball is offering some movement, and I look at this Windies line up and the word crumble springs to mind

Has lasted into over seven...sometimes playing and missing is a useful skill :)

West Indies has drs to thank again as Campbell is reprieved . Pitched just outside leg.

And the light calls them off. Batsmen won't mind. Good day for West Indies if that is it for the night ...
