    They all look a bit tired, a bit end-of-day-ish.

  2. Eng 232-3

    Alzarri Joseph bangs in three successive short balls to start his over.

    Brook takes a single from the second one, turning the ball to leg.

    A misfield at slip, very disappointing from Hodge.

  4. Eng 229-3

    Woops.

    Harry Brook jams his bat down on a Jayden Seales delivery, the ball slips under his bat and through the legs of Kavem Hodge at slip.

    The England batters run two.

  5. Eng 225-3

    Brook and Root take a single apiece from the rest of the over to move England's lead to 184.

    Harry Brook celebrates his half-centuryGetty Images

    That's a lovely shot from Brook, he's really played well.

    That's the third fifty we've seen from an England player but this has been the most enjoyable.

  7. 50 runs

    Fifty for Harry Brook

    There's the Brook half-century, playing a lovely checked drive to the long-off boundary.

    Barely any force to it, just timing Alzarri Joseph's delivery perfectly.

    The landmark comes from 62 balls.

  8. Eng 219-3

    Changes at both ends as Jayden Seales comes on in place of Kevin Sinclair.

    He sends six dot balls to Joe Root - the first maiden of the innings.

  9. Eng 219-3

    Crashing pull from Brook, sending the returning Alzarri Joseph through mid-wicket.

    He has another big swipe at the following delivery, but fails to make a connection.

  10. This may seem like a spell of dominant milking, Daniel, but we shouldn't forget that Edward Jenner developed the vaccine for smallpox by taking material from the hands of a milkmaid.

    Given the disease has been eradicated worldwide, that has to be the premier example of dominant milking.

    Joe Root reverse sweepsGetty Images

    We're going through a period of dominant milking by Root and Brook.

  12. Eng 212-3

    The England batters work Kevin Sinclair around for six runs.

    All very comfortable out there.

  13. Eng 206-3

    Just over slip!

    Brook chops at a Jason Holder delivery, sending the ball just clear of the fielder in the cordon and off to the ropes.

    Joe Root plays a shotGetty Images

    With two right handers batting, I'd be looking at Hodge to bowl, a left-handed spinner.

  15. Eng 201-3

    There's that Root drive again.

    Half volley from Sinclair and the England number four tucks in, sending the ball to the boundary.

    A further shot into the off side brings up the England two hundred.

  16. Eng 193-3

    Back comes Jason Holder, a change of ends to replace Shamar Joseph.

    He goes up for a shout of lbw against Joe Root, but none of his teammates seem especially interested - the England batter had come a fair way down the pitch.

  17. Eng 192-3

    Root knocks Sinclair towards point to bring up the fifty partnership.

    Brook makes it 52 from the closing ball of the over.

  18. Fazeer Mohammed
    West Indies commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    The lights are on but the umpires are checking to see if it's too dark.

    How do you explain that to someone who doesn't watch cricket.

  19. Andy Zaltzman
    Statistician on Test Match Special

    The speed the umpires walk to each other is the slowest movement known to man.

  20. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on Test Match Special

    That's classic Joe Root, his mindset and mentality showing being able to bounce back after the previous play.
