    Right, we're off.

    Take a read of Stephan Shemilt's report from day three at Trent Bridge and tune into the ongoing highlights programme on BBC Two and iPlayer (it'll be available on catch-up after the broadcast finishes).

    We'll be back with you tomorrow at 10:30 BST, with play getting underway at 11:00.

    I'm off to race the 50 of you who've gathered outside the office with your dogs. I'm a man of my word.

    However you spend it, have a good evening.

  2. 'Didn't feel like they were getting away from us'published at 19:18 British Summer Time 20 July

    More from Chris Woakes on TMS: "It was a tough old slog yesterday but I thought we stuck at it well. I think we'd have taken getting those last five wickets for 90 this morning."

    On West Indies' last-wicket stand: "You can always look back and think 'could we have done this or that' but we were pretty committed to what we wanted to do. I didn't feel like they were getting away from us.

    "Obviously you want them to hit the first one straight up in the air but it's one of those situations in cricket where no one really knows how to go about it. You have to go with your gut feel. I thought we stuck to the task well and eventually got the wicket."

    On being leader of the attack without Anderson and Broad: "It makes me feel a little bit older. It's the first time I've played a Test without either of them. Great to still have Jimmy around to bounce ideas off but it's certainly a little bit different and something I'll hopefully get used to."

    On lead England want: "As many as possible. You never know, there's a lot of cricket to be played. Tomorrow morning is crucial, we need to kick on with this partnership.

    "West Indies will feel right back in it with a couple of quick wickets so we need to take the game away from them and get a big lead - 350, 400, 450, as many as possible."

  3. 'Felt better than I did at Lord's'published at 19:15 British Summer Time 20 July

    England all-rounder Chris Woakes, speaking to BBC Test Match Special: "It was a good day's cricket, it went back and forth a bit, and that partnership at the end was a crucial one for us in terms of getting a grip of the game.

    "We're still not in complete control because tomorrow morning is going to be crucial. But that partnership in tricky conditions, when it got a bit dark and they had a newer ball, it was tough. The boys batted really well and hopefully they can kick on in the morning.

    "It's a good batting surface. You felt like you got a bit more out of it today [as a bowler] with the overheads. Yesterday with the sun baking it, it felt like really hard work. But today it felt like there was a little bit to work with.

    "It's one of those pitches where you have to put 110% into every ball so it's hard work but that's Test cricket.

    "I've always been a bowler that is better for the gallop. Woody is very different to be, he almost wants to come in fresh with as little cricket as possible, whereas I'm the opposite. I need overs under my belt to find that rhythm and line and length. I certainly felt better than I did at Lord's.

    "You always want to contribute to the team's success and picking up four wickets was great. Reward for a couple of good spells. Woody got less than he deserved yesterday but that's the game sometimes. As a unit, I think we've bowled well.

    "They've had the best of conditions with big blue sky yesterday on a good surface so for them to only get a few ahead is a good result in the end."

    England will be wary of the conditions, it definitely did more in the earlier hours of today so they'll see how many runs they can get by a certain time, they'll probably want to be bowling just before tea.

    It doesn't feel like they'll be able to take wickets really quickly but if Brook and Root can get in they'll easily be in a position to declare by tea.

    Anything beyond 270 will put England in a good position, as well as they batted in the first innings, you cant ignore their vulnerability.

    They'll back themselves, anything beyond 270 is really going to challenge them.

    Windies need to get those early wickets because if England get stuck in, especially Brook, they'll take Windies out of it.

    Pope and Duckett then fell in the space of three overs after tea, but Joe Root and Harry Brook regrouped, adding an unbeaten 108 for the fourth wicket.

    Brook passed fifty and kicked on, finishing with 71 from 78 balls overnight.

    England lost Zak Crawley early, the opener falling to an unfortunate run out when Ben Duckett's drive was deflected onto the stumps at the non-striker's end.

    Duckett and Ollie Pope then put on 119 for the second wicket, each passing fifty.

    Chris Woakes removed Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales, meaning England needed only one wicket to finish off the tourists.

    But Joshua Da Silva pushed on for the West Indies alongside number eleven Shamar Joseph, putting on 71 for the final wicket to give the West Indies a first innings lead of 41.

    Mark Wood finally intervened, removing Joseph with his first wicket of the match.

    Right then, let's take a look back at today's action.

    It didn't start so badly for England, with Jason Holder and Kevin Sinclair removed early on.

    I don't think people have worked out Duckett out, he's a very hard opening batsman to face.

    He’s always looking to score, he doesn't miss any opportunities and he's hard to bowl at.

    He’s got a very good cover drive and you’re conditioned to bowl channel but his channel is very different to everyone else's.

    He’s worked out his method and it works, he’ll hurt you.

    You can't discount the impact that Mark Wood has, even though he might not have picked up as many wickets that he would've liked.

    I'm not sure about their tactics in the morning, they underestimated the batting ability of Shamar Joseph.

    The game has changed, everyone is trained to hit bombs now.

    England have taken the initiative, West Indies missed a trick with the bowling in overcast conditions. there wasn't much discipline with the ball, only when the ball changed we saw a breakthrough.

    They appeared to be lacking in energy given what happened this morning.

    England batted beautifully, under some pressure, when they conceded a first innings lead where they shouldn't have.

    The West Indies had some momentum but England responded really well, the two partnerships made batting look really easy.

    It was Harry Brook's session.

    The England number five made 71 from 78 deliveries after coming in shortly after the tea break.

    He put on 108 with Joe Root, who also came to the crease after the interval, with England adding 132 from the 29 overs after tea.

    The West Indies have got to get a few wickets quickly tomorrow.

    He's got it all Harry Brook, he can flay the attack but also looks to manipulate the field and find the gaps.

  18. Close - Eng 248-3 (lead by 207)published at 51 overs

    Root 37, Brook 71

    The West Indies bring Kraigg Brathwaite on to close the day's play.

    Harry Brook eases another boundary shot down to deep third then works the final ball of the over square for a single, ensuring he'll have the strike tomorrow.

    The England batters walk off after a good day's work.

    He's done him again, Seales is furious and kicks at the ground there.

  20. Eng 241-3published at 50 overs

    Consecutive fours to start this Seales over, as Harry Brook slips one ball past the cordon and another to the ropes at third.

    That brings up the hundred partnership, a welcome fortification after England lost Pope and Duckett in the space of three overs.
