Mandip Bhogal in Surrey: Poor session from England. Ah well, that's the way the Cooky crumbles....

"I'd want my runs in the first innings here. I think it's going to turn later on."

Jerome Taylor will open up after lunch from the other end. Ian Bell brings up the first runs of the afternoon sessions with the finest of glances of his hips, which trundles down to the boundary for four. The ball after, he is struck on the pads by a full away-swinger from Taylor, but there's no alarm as the batsman got an inside edge on it.

A lazy, languid restart to proceedings. Sulieman Benn, with his long, loping delivery stride, sends down six gentle tweakers which Joe Root bats away with minimal concern, like a sunbather wafting away flies. A maiden.

Thanks Mitch. Sulieman Benn is going to send down some spin in what should be a gentle introduction to the afternoon session for Joe Root and Ian Bell...

After those touching tributes to Richie Benaud on TMS, the umpires are out and it's time to begin the second session from Antigua - so over to James Gheerbrant to talk you through it.

"You hear a lot of nationalistic commentators know, but Richie was very fair and always impartial. Garry Sobers told me how you always knew if it came from Richie, it was gospel. But he was always reticent about talking about himself, as it was always about the game."

Ade: As an England fan, I've put up with some terrible things over the last few years. Yet as bad as we were in the last Ashes, at the start of last summer, and all through this winter, I'm not sure anything that's happened has annoyed me as much as when I got in from work today and saw the England team. Have we learned nothing? After weeks of talk about being old-fashioned and behind the game (admittedly in ODIs), the brave new era starts with Trott over Lyth and Tredwell over Rashid. The conservatism of the management in English cricket is astonishing. And the minority that text and tweet in support of them and their selections are part of the problem.

"When you asked him for advice, he was very helpful. But apart from that, he always kept himself to himself. He would get there early, find a little corner where he could see the cricket, and he'd be on his computer writing or gambling, as he loved the horses. But he never missed a trick - he would only help you if you asked him."

James in London: Nice touch by England today as part of the Remembering Richie feature. Managed to engineer the fall of wickets to chwenty chew for chew.

"I went to Australia in 1965-66, Richie had finished as a player by then but was picked to play for the Prime Minister's XI and Canberra. He bowled me a couple which I pulled over mid-wicket, then a quicker top-spinner which hit me plumb in front, I got the benefit of the doubt and he just looked at me and glared. He was much more cavalier as a player than a commentator."

"You'd learn a lot from Richie. I got to know himself and his wife Daphne through a Trinidadian who had lived in Australia for many years. When he last came to Barbados, I organised a lunch for the surviving West Indians from the 60-61 series, such as Sir Garry Sobers and Sir Everton Weekes. Richie said he didn't want any publicity, but he fell in the shower and damaged his ribs, so I had to cancel the dinner. Daphne heard about this, and said Richie would come whatever happens - so I had to rebook the restaurant."

Charlie Franklin: Would love to see James Vince given a run in the side. Definitely deserves a call-up.

Tommy C: Too many players included in this England squad picked on sentiment that are simply not good enough at the moment.

In case you were wondering, last year's triple knighting ceremony for Andy Roberts, Curtly Ambrose and Richie Richardson at this stadium means the Windies can boast a full XI of cricketing knights.

In alphabetical (rather than batting) order, they are: Sir Curtly Ambrose (Antigua), Sir Learie Constantine, later Lord Constantine (Trinidad), Reverend Sir Wes Hall (Barbados), Sir Conrad Hunte (Barbados), Sir Viv Richards (Antigua), Sir Richie Richardson (Antigua), Sir Andy Roberts (Antigua), Sir Garfield Sobers (Barbados), Sir Clyde Walcott (Barbados), Sir Everton Weekes (Barbados), and Sir Frank Worrell (Barbados).

David Hill: Obviously congratulations to West Indies for bowling well but oh dear, how far can England fall? From all the reports the batting lacks complete confidence, but given that Cook, Ballance and Trott are all struggling it is perhaps little wonder they are three down and that must put enormous pressure on those following. It just seems to me that if Peter Moores had read the data then he would have known that this was the likely outcome.

Impressionist Rory Bremner: "I found a lovely quote from Richie which said 'Captaincy is 90% luck and 10% skill - but don't try it without that 10%'."

Ruairi, Putney: 49 runs in a whole session, how slow and dull. Cook, Trott and Ballance combined clearly does not have the necessary firepower. We need to look to other countries where shorter form of the game batsmen are being moulded into the Test game for explosive starts. Why not work on the likes of Hales or Morgan?

When was the first time you were aware of impersonators taking you off?

The late Richie Benaud, speaking in 2005: "I like satire, that's why I like Rory Bremner. For a long while I didn't meet Billy Birmingham, the 'Twelfth Man', which built up something of an aura about it. What I do object to is someone using my voice or image to sell anything - there are a few of them around, which is dishonest. Quite a few of them [impersonators] shouldn't give up their day jobs."

Jon in London: All very well saying back your captain, but the long and the short of it is that being an aggressive player/captain/team is the norm these days, and not the exception. Cookie just hasn't moved on... neither have England.

What would you have made of modern coaching, with everything on a laptop?

The late Richie Benaud, speaking in 2005: "I can't see why I would have wanted them in my dressing room. I got my coaching from Miller, Morris, and Lindwall. Why should I want to talk to a laptop?"
