Here is Timothy Abraham's opening day report from Edgbaston.

If you still need a further cricket fix, Northern Superchargers and Trent Rockets are currently battling it out in the men's The Hundred - listen to radio commentary. I hear Andrew Flintoff might be involved in some capacity!

Thanks to all who have read, watched, listened, contributed etc. It has been a pleasure. Same time tomorrow, folks. See you at 10.45 BST.

Been out and about today or at work?

Don't worry, we've got you covered.

Today at the Test is just starting now on BBC iPlayer and BBC Four.

Watch Today at the Test.

Ben Duckett got a lifeline when Alzarri Joseph dropped a relatively routine return catch...

But Jason Holder made no such mistake when Jayden Seales found Zak Crawley's outside edge. Crawley had helped himself to three boundaries in the Seales over, but it was the bowler who ended it grinning.

The question was how costly would the Duckett drop cost? The answer came a ball after Crawley's dismissal. Duckett had not added to his three runs when an expansive drive ended in his stumps being shattered.

And England were soon three down when Mark Wood edged Seales to Holder. The catch was an excellent one.

Joe Root and Ollie Pope had seemingly not intended to bat this evening. Both were in the middle by close, with England finishing 38-3. West Indies lead by 244 runs.

England were left with what would traditionally be deemed a tricky forty-minutes to navigate. But that is not the modern way. England will, so we are repeatedly told, never do anything other than throw metaphorical punches these days.

Gus Atkinson narrowly missed out on joining the elite list of players with three five–fors in his first five Test innings.

He'd have been only the fourth England player to do that and the first since World War I.

In terms of most wickets in the first three Tests of an England player's career, he's already on 20 with the second innings in this game to go.

There are only six players ahead of him, and if he takes five wickets in the second innings, he'll go to the top of the list.

And so when Shoaib Bashir took the final wicket - Shamar Joseph holing out to Zak Crawley - the West Indies had made a just about respectable (so we thought) 282.

In taking that wicket, Atkinson missed a shot at history...

It feels a lifetime ago now, but this Mark Wood rocket to remove Kirk McKenzie is also worth a second look. And a third. And a...

England bowler Chris Woakes talking to BBC Test Match Special: "I think at Lord's I just struggled for a little bit of rhythm. I was searching for something and bowled a little bit safe and didn't really utilise my skills as much.

"Into Trent Bridge, there was a spell towards the back end of the day on day two where something clicked, I used the crease a little bit more, the ball started moving in the air and just tried to use my skill a little bit more and I think I've just tried to run with that.

"And then the same here, the ball has moved a little bit in the air so I think using your crease is obviously quite crucial and trying to get obviously from mid-crease then out to wide as well and making sure the angles are different for the batsmen."

"Naturally when you're the oldest bowler on the field, you kind of try and take more of a lead role and obviously you've got some younger bowlers out there. Obviously, Woody's experienced as well so he's doing his job."

"I suppose a little bit of a different role, so to speak, but you know once you get out there and got the ball in hand, you're effectively trying to do the same thing, which put the ball in the right areas more often than not, change the batsmen, try and work on their weaknesses and bowl to your strengths and yeah I'm just trying to do that really."

England's other star with the ball was Chris Woakes, who took 3 for 69.

His first wicket was that of Kavem Hodge. The batter won't want to watch that one again too many times. In fact, he may be best off not looking at all!

Then Joshua Da Silva, with 50 in sight, chased after a ball better left alone...

And then Alzarri Joseph failed to make the desired connection. Simple catch for Ben Stokes.

Holder made 59 and the other man to pass fifty for the West Indies was captain and opener Kraigg Brathwaite. Here are his best bits.

Right, I've taken a breath and now am going to take you through the best of the day.

First, let's look at Gus Atkinson who picked up 4 for 67. We are mid-way through his third Test and he already has 20 wickets. Not bad, Gus, not bad.

First, he got Mikyle Louis to break a 76-run opening stand. Surrey teammate Jamie Smith took the catch.

Atkinson's second was Alick Athanaze, whose choice of shot was a little odd on the stroke of lunch.

Then Atkinson got the big wicket of Jason Holder.

And, finally, Atkinson gave Gudakesh Motie the hurry up. Brilliant work from Joe Root, by the way.

It's turned the game around in that last fifty minutes.

It's England's day, West Indies haven't got enough on this surface, okay, they've recovered a bit.

Now suddenly, it's game on. I mean England could still get a big score, you never know with this team.

The door is ajar. The spirits, lifted within the West Indies. They could have been all out for 270.

And Holder, you know, he hasn't bowled a ball, he got those 50 or 60 runs and he's taken those two absolutely cracking catches. [It] always lifts morale of any team out there.

So it's game on.

And that, folks, is that. At least it is for today. It has been intriguing hasn't it?

Eight overs ago, most would have said England were in the driving seat, but the final 20 minutes swung the pendulum in the direction of the West Indies.

Even? Hmmm. I reckon it is the visitors with their noses in front.

Proper old-school grubber that. Seales couldn't do it again if he tried. That's a couple we've seen going underground today.

Well, I don't think we were expecting that.

A couple of loose shots, a couple of brilliant catches. I think fuller bowling with the new ball than England produced this morning.

The West Indies have bowled better and England are in a bit of a mess here.

Half an hour ago, England presumably decided that that neither Joe Root or Ollie Pope would bat until morning. Yet now they are out in the middle together. Best laid plans and all that.

That was over-pitched by Joseph and Pope creams it through the covers as if he has not a care in the world. Perhaps he doesn't? The same can't be said about England, though.

Well. It's a great fightback this actually.

Seales, in particular, got smashed for three fours and his response has been terrific, he's kept his full-ish length and that's what got rid of Crawley, an inviting full-ish ball. He went for another.

Caught second slip very well by Holder. This is a defensive backfoot prod.

And will it carry? Well, it just does. He has to lunge forward Holder and he takes an inch or two off the ground, it's a superb catch.

Here is that dropped catch from Joseph from a few overs back. It cost the West Indies precisely zero runs.
