Wood is bounding in, whistling a rapid bouncer past a hooking Holder. England appeal, the umpire says no, Stokes comes in to check, then decides against the review. Replays show a flick of the shoulder, so good decisions made all round.

Ooohhh, that's a slice of luck for Joshua da Silva. Bashir is getting some slow turn and Da Silva's swipe goes high into the off side, landing in a vacant slot of Birmingham real estate.

Jason Holder was almost in a baseball stance there, cause he said 'I know what's coming and I'm good enough to whack it!'.

Spin from one end, out and out and pace from the other. Mark Wood is round the wicket with a field set for short bowling. Da Silva tickles one fine for four, then Holder smears a boundary of his own. All of a sudden, it looks quite flat.

It's clouded over in Birmingham. Bashir, slender, tip-toes in with chewing gum in his mouth. Da Silva goes back and turns one around the corner, just past Ollie Pope at leg slip. One added.

Ash Head: Wicket drought is on me, I'm afraid. Tuned in to BBC TMS just after the fifth wicket fell, only to endure two wicketless hours. I'll switch off again shortly.

The players are back out after tea, West Indies looking to continue this fightback. Shoaib Bashir is bowling. There are 37 overs left in the day.

I've done a bit more digging on the Flintstones after speaking to Oscar and Stan, pictured.

This may already be common knowledge, so apologies if this old hat to some of you, but apparently it's kind of an informal mini club where the common bond is dressing up as Flintstones characters and attending Test cricket.

"Not everybody knows each other personally," Oscar tells me. "But it's often a friend of a friend, and such alike. There's about 35 of us here today."

Thanks, Sam. Very interesting chat on TMS right now with ECB chief executive Richard Gould, covering all sorts of topics.

The future of Test cricket, Matthew Mott, The Hundred.

That's me done for the time being. Thanks for all your interaction over the last couple of hours - some cracking tales.

Jason Holder not prepared to sit and be "bowled at" by Shoaib Bashir. Don't believe me? See below for evidence.

You aren't the only one Jack. I don't know whether to thank Tim or curse him.

Fabulous stuff Alec.

27 overs in that session - don't get me started on over rates - England have two wickets and the West Indies have added 97 runs.

The sixth-wicket partnership between Joshua Da Silva and Jason Holder is worth 79, and England will spend the next 20 minutes scratching their collective heads.
