Joshua da Silva!

Well done Josh.

Fifty partnership too.

Roach has been a bit loose, bit josh da Silva looks like he could bat all week atm

same format... top order wickets then lower order stands

Has there ever been a test team worse at bowling the tail out than Englands of the last few years?

Feels like it's been that way for a long time.

They're back on. So after 20 overs with this ball, the tail will be flattened....

68 partnership for ninth wicket.

Now, England put on 90 for the last...

a 100 run lead for WI would cost England 6 wickets to knock off. Just as well England's best batsmen are batting 8 to 11

Josh gets his century!

WIndies up to 52. If they better England's 90, then they look favourites for an innings victory

West Indies 297 all out

Joshua da Silva 100*
Campbell 35

Woakes 3-59

Great recovery by the WI tail. If England can keep wickets in hand, presumably they can flog the old ball. The grass on the pitch must be dead by now and it should stop the surface from crumbling.

Crawley out early. England really should be dropping anchor, see out the new ball, cashing in after...

Well batted to JdS

Mayer's gets root out straight away again, but unlike the first time, this is a terrible ball and shot

And the less said about that leave from Lawrence the better. A bit of seam in, but not a lot. Got to play at that...instead he's been bowled.

Mayer's doing it again
