That's the little bit of balance that Chris Woakes gives at eight, with the runs.

There's just a little bit of something in this wicket. That was a good ball, top of off-stump, Woakes was trying to defend it, he didn't do too much wrong, he just held it a little bit and it was caught low down by Jason Holder.

He scored some useful runs and that is the reason why he balances this side out really nicely. I don't think you would want anyone else batting in eight!

Ah, here's the new ball, and Alzarri Joseph returns to take it. The West Indies theoretically have four overs to use it tonight, but they'll likely run out of time to rattle through all of them.

The first delivery from Joseph is a short ball that rises on Woakes at around armpit height - the England batter gets on top of it and turns the ball towards the fine leg boundary for four.

That takes England past 400.

Still no sight of a new ball, with Hodge into his tenth over.

England work him around for five runs.

Woakes steps down to drive Sinclair down the ground for four, his first boundary of the innings.

England into the not-especially-nervous-390s.

Wood drops to a knee to slog sweep Hodge into the leg side, but long on runs to their right to cut the ball off.

England's batters take two.

It has been a curious day - I think that is a great word for it.

England have played nicely. They haven't done too much wrong apart from hitting a bad ball, but then they have found ways to get out. Smith and Stokes sum it up quite nicely, I suppose.

But, they have scored 380 runs so they are in a decent position.

Wood eases Kavem Hodge down towards the third boundary and the England batters hustle through a three.

It's still sunny at Trent Bridge, by the way, although the players are starting to draw long shadows.

The West Indies aren't taking the new ball just yet, Kevin Sinclair is continuing.

Wood continues his charmed life, taking another big swipe at the first ball of the over and seeing Mikyle Louis spill a catch on the dive at point. He takes a single to move to three.

Having returned to the strike, the West Indies appeal for a stumping chance from the final delivery of the over, but the England tailender slid his foot back in time.

It wasn't straightforward by any stretch of the imagination, but it should be taken at this level. You are expecting your keeper to effect that stumping.

Mark Wood should be on his way.

He takes a wild flail at Kavem Hodge's delivery, missing and leaving himself far from his crease.

The ball bounces off the top of Joshua Da Silva's gloves and Wood is able to get his bat home.

His celebration was more muted, more traditional, high-fives all around. It was a good grab by Hodge!

On the basis of what we have seen so far, that was a great catch because he actually took it! On a run-of-the-mill day, it is a regulation slip-catch, but all catches at slip are hard so you have to give him credit.

Fortunately for him, he is left-handed so it has gone to his easy side but it was still a good grab, below knee-height, and he has reacted nicely.

Gus Atkinson has his first runs in Test cricket, turning the ball around the corner for two.

He drives the final ball of the over back at Hodge and... could this be a run out? The ball may have brushed the hands of the bowler on the way to breaking the stumps - has it caught non-striker Woakes unawares?

The TV umpire takes a look and while the ball did indeed make contact with the hand, Woakes got his bat home in time.
