  1. Eng 58-1

    Here we go!

    Been looking forward to this.

    Shamar Joseph starts by nipping one past Ollie Pope's inside edge.

  2. Fazeer Mohammed
    West Indies commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    West Indies need to dig in. It's all about discipline and bowling the same ball, over and over again, boring as it may be.

    That is why Test cricket is so difficult.

  3. Eng 58-1

    Alzarri Joseph has cranked it up to 89mph but is still wasteful, as Pope pulls another short ball for four and he oversteps to gift England another free run.

    There's been some decent bowling, but too many looseners thrown in which have eased any pressure.

    England are looking to put pressure on the West Indies after tea.

    Ollie Pope has come out frisky after tea with a couple of glorious cover drives.

  5. Eng 52-1

    West Indies continue to squeeze, just three from Seales' latest.

    I'm ready to see Shamar Joseph now, I think.

  6. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    West Indies have just got to get themselves in a position to apply some pressure and this is better from Joseph.

  7. Eng 49-1

    Trail by 72

    Better discipline from the West Indies. Alzarri Joseph with a much-needed maiden to Zak Crawley.

  8. Some glorious shots from England so far. Zak Crawley's classic drives have been in full flow.

  9. Eng 49-1

    Oh, shot.

    Jayden Seales drops too short and Ollie Pope firmly pulls for four. He's raced to 18 from 12 balls.

    West Indies have been sloppy since lunch.

  10. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    West Indies have got to be careful. Things can slip away, especially with the way this England side bat.

    You've got to somehow stay in the game and fight your way back in with disciplined bowling, and hope England make the mistakes.

  11. Eng 43-1

    The runs are flowing.

    Ollie Pope with two more glorious drives to the boundary, before he gets away with a top-edge that flies down to fine leg for a single.

    I forgot how entertaining it can be when England bat in Test cricket. Always something happening.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    Bit of a loosener from the big fast bowler and Pope says, 'thanks very much'.

  13. Eng 35-1

    Won't get too many breakthroughs bowling there.

    Ollie Pope slashes a short ball past point for four.

  14. Cheers, Mike.

    West Indies will be searching for plenty more of these in this session.

  15. Right then, looks like we're well set for a compelling evening session.

    Here's Ffion Wynne to take you through it.

  16. Get Involved - Your Jimmy memories

    My nephew is 14 today and Jimmy is his favourite cricketer. It's crazy to think he wasn't even born when Jimmy started his career. I still remember being together in 2013 when Anderson clinched that Ashes win. Henry was just 3! We're sat in the garden listening to TMS now for his last game. It's all rather emotional!

  17. Ben Duckett didn't enjoy the most comfortable of innings - he was dropped at point prior to being caught behind.

  18. Test Match Special are currently speaking to former England captain Andrew Strauss, who is talking compellingly about his work to combat cancer.

    Rachel T: What a time to be alive. The footballers in another semi, Lewis Hamilton sending Silverstone wild (I was there) and the cricketers well on top at Lord’s. The train is on time too - winning.

  20. Eng 30-1

    Ollie Pope gets off the mark from his second ball, pushing into the covers.

    Crawley sees off the final two balls of the session and the players will now take tea.

    England find themselves in a commanding position, despite the loss of Duckett.
