  1. This is why Johnson Charles is the target of the crowds ironic cheers today...

    'I don't know how he's dropped that!' - Charles fumbles Buttler pull at deep mid-wicket

  2. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Who was that in the dugout in batting kit who ducked out of it? They could have just pulled it back into the outfield.

  3. 6 runs

    Eng 149-4

    Need 48 from 30 balls

    Six into the England dugout!

    That has nearly wiped out Will Jacks.

    The two boundaries from Tom Banton change the complexion again.

    WInViz gives England 46% chance of victory, West Indies 54%CricViz

  4. Eng 143-4

    Reverse sweep for four by Tom Banton! England have used that shot a lot today.

  5. Eng 139-4

    Motie is doing well to keep the ball out of Bethell's hitting arc. Only singles so far...

  6. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's the stage of the game where Bethell is thinking "I need to get after him" and Motie is thinking he'll use that to get a wicket.

  7. Eng 136-4

    Jacob Bethell has a glance towards the leg-side boundary before taking his guard...

  8. Gudakesh Motie is back for the first of his final two overs.

    England need 10.33 runs per over.

  9. Eng 135-4

    Need 62 from 36 balls

    Roston Chase darts one in onto Jacob Bethell's pad to end the over and the result is a big appeal for lbw. I had it as hitting but the umpire - and clearly Chase because there's no review - reckons it was missing leg.

  10. Eng 134-4

    Chase is on the back foot now. He follows with two wides as Banton lets the ball go outside his off stump.

  11. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A little too straight from Roston Chase, maybe thinking on the first ball go wicket to wicket.

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 132-4

    Tom Banton is known as a great hitter of spin and he slog sweeps his first ball for six.

  13. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Chase is around the wicket to Brook, using that angle across him to take it out of the hitting arc. That one kind of spliced, and a good catch.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Brook c Powell b Chase 34 (Eng 126-4)

    Powell takes second catch of innings to dismiss Brook for 34

    Gone this time!

    Harry Brook thumps his bat in anger after repeating the shot but hitting it to Rovman Powell at long-off.

    The game swings back towards West Indies again.

  15. 6 runs

    Eng 126-3

    Mind the windows, Tino (Harry)!

    Harry Brook slams Roston Chase into the flats over long-off.

  16. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Jacob Bethell is a man not lacking in confidence.

  17. Eng 120-3

    Need 77 from 42 balls

    I was just about to say Jacob Bethell has either been promoted to take on the left-arm spinner - the left-hander's positive match-up - or to give a left-hand right-hand option to England.

    Here he charges left-arm tweaker Hosein and gets an early four.

  18. Jacob Bethell has come out at number five - a place higher than he batted in the previous game.

  19. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That's clever from Akeal, held that one back slightly for Jos Buttler. First they set the field, then went so much slower there was nowhere to go for Buttler, then everyone held their breath until Johnson Charles caught it.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Buttler c Charles b Hosein 47 (Eng 112-3)

    Jos Buttler is out! This is big.

    It's that reverse sweep again. He has nailed the previous two but this time he hits it straight to Johnson Charles.

    Charles dropped him a couple of overs ago but, with the crowd in his ears behind him, he takes the catch with minimal fuss.
