That has been a spectacular hours and 45 minutes.

Most rocking up today would have expected England to seal a victory today...but not quite this early.

At lunch, the West Indies were five down. There was still work to do.

But Mark Wood blew the tail away, a scintillating six over burst costing just nine runs and bringing him five wickets.

Then, with Crawley absent, Ben Stokes has done something quite special. The previous fastest Test half-century for England was Ian Botham back in 1981. It took him 28 balls. Stokes broke the record by four deliveries, and - a bit like Usain Bolt - he slowed down with the finish line in sight.

How else? A six to finish from Stokes.

No Zak Crawley? No problem. The skipper Ben Stokes promoted himself to open and walks off with England's fastest ever Test half-century.

England were always going to hunt down this 82, but Ben Stokes has ensured they're going to do it in style.

Stokes actually has all the attributes of a very good opening batsman. He's got a good technique and he's very good against pace.

50 for Ben Stokes - England's fastest in Test cricketpublished at 6.4 overs

6.4 overs

Eng 80-0

Ben Stokes rocks back and pulls that into the stand. 50 up from just 24 balls. The quickest ever for England in well over 1,000 Test matches.

By the way, that was indeed the best Power Play in Test history. 72 runs in the first six overs. Steady 12s.

There's two of them. Mikyle Louis showing his commitment to the maroon cap right until the bitter end. Keeps it to two.

Duckett into the thick of it now. Quartet of boundaries, couple of twos. 20 from the over.

His strike rate is back above 100. Phew.

England only need 10 to win. Stokes needs eight of them.

That is the joint-fastest a team has reached 50 in a Test innings, equalling the record they set in the previous Test at Trent Bridge - 4.2 overs. The previous record, 4.3 overs, was set by England against South Africa at The Oval in 1994.

A low key over, that one. Ben Duckett is chilling on 5 from 10. Stokes has 42 from 20 - still has the record for the fastest half-century in Test cricket for England within his sights.

Stokes finishes the over with a couple of runs. He needs to hit a six and a four from his next two balls for the quickest Test half-century.

Bosh. Four down the ground. Stokes is 39 off 17.

Fastest men's Test fifty? Misbah-ul-Haq in 21 balls. Doable.

Different bowler; same result. Stokes charges at Holder and pulls him for four. 35 off 16 balls.

Curtly Ambrose is at Edgbaston watching on. He has just let out an exasperated sigh.

Change of bowling. Jason Holder's turn to enter to "fun".

This has been the problem with Alzarri. Line and length, you've got to get both right. He needs to be able to group a few more fields together, allow Kraigg Brathwaite to set a field.

Good over from England that. Up to 12.66 runs per over.

Stokes looking to break records here. Ben Duckett playing the anchor role - he has 3 off 3.

Ben Stokes is looking to blast it to all parts.

Boom. Driven aerially down the ground. Stokes has 31 from 14.

Remember - Tea can be delayed if the umps think a result is possible.

Remember - Tea can also be brought forward should the game finish early.
