    Chris Doughty: England look and feel like they're batting in straitjackets.

    Leo Watson: Moores and Cook might blame fatigue or KP-related distractions, but the facts are they are making simple errors of judgement.

  2. Remembering Richiepublished at 17:16 British Summer Time 13 April 2015

    The late Richie Benaud, speaking in 2005: "The funniest moment on commentary? Close to it would be Rodney Marsh tackling a streaker at Edgbaston, when I said it was the only catch he'd made all day."

    Andy: I am starting the 'Bring back Collingwood' campaign to save English cricket! A five-for and a century, a man in form.

    Peter MacDiarmid: Not sure 49-3 is the way to put all talk of the return of KP to bed. At least he's not been in the runs this week...

    The tributes to Richie Benaud begin with an archive interview from 2005, his last Test series as a commentator in England.

  6. Where's Moeen?published at 17:10 British Summer Time 13 April 2015

    Among the county hopefuls, by the way, is England's Moeen Ali, who was not fit enough to join the start of the tour after he was injured during the World Cup.

    He's playing for Worcestershire against Yorkshire, and so far has scored 62 and bowled three overs at the cost of eight runs.

    Richard McConnell in Glasgow: Re: Ian Haffey in Barcelona (see 16:55): I totally agree with Ian, we should drop Broad, Trott, and Cook. I mean, what have they ever won?... oh.

    Or, we could actually give them a chance, instead of writing off the whole series based on one ropey morning of Test cricket. My word, do you think successful teams gain success by making wholesale changes? The Aussies achieved it through a change of management and by backing their captain.

    So, an unhappy return to Test cricket for Jonathan Trott in his 50th Test - Test Match Special are going to check in with Kevin Howells for the county scores, but after that, they will be paying tribute to the late Richie Benaud.

    "The West Indies' bowling has been excellent, but despite it being a completely different format, England have been the same as they were as the World Cup. There's been a lack of initiative, a fear of failure."

    A chastened England leave the field. While questions were asked about West Indies' decision to field first, some impressively tight bowling has kept their foot on the England jugular for most of the time.

    Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "The West Indies have been excellent. England had the worst possible start, and it's now 33 innings since Alastair Cook's last Test hundred, which is a real concern. It's been a timid start to the series from England, and one of these two batsmen has to go on and get a big score."

  12. Lunch intervalpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 13 April 2015

    Time for one more over before lunch. Holder tosses the ball from hand to hand, more in the manner of a spinner than a pace bowler, before testing Bell with a probing line outside off stump. Bell - named as vice-captain for this tour - briefly consults with umpire Steve Davis when it looks like he has something in his eye, but sees off a maiden. Time for lunch.

    "West Indies have certainly played on England's lack of confidence, but I don't think they've just lobbed it up and bowled negatively. But I still think batting first is the best option - it's certainly going to start spinning."

  14. Eng 49-3 (Bell 10*, Root 11*)published at 16:57 British Summer Time 13 April 2015

    Root joins Bell in double figures with a couple of twos down towards third man.

  15. Email tms@bbc.co.ukpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 13 April 2015

    Ian Haffey in Barcelona: Those calling for a large or small-scale clean out have failed to mention one of the oustanding forces for conservatism and avoidance of risk within English cricket: Alastair Cook. Certainly not in the team these days for his batting and far, far away from a tactical genius as captain, why is he there? He is a towering remnant of the old guard and will always want teams with the composition of today's. You can be sure that, whatever their performance may be and, barring injury, Broad and Trott will play all three Tests.

  16. Eng 45-3published at 16:55 British Summer Time 13 April 2015

    Ian Bell becomes the third man into double figures today as he chops Holder for a single - England will rely on him to go further than Cook (11) and Ballance (10) who both stalled after reaching that mark. Root manages to nick the strike with a leg bye off the last ball.

  17. Eng 43-3 (Bell 9*, Root 7*)published at 16:50 British Summer Time 13 April 2015

    The bearded Benn is swept for a single by Bell - there are a couple of umbrellas still up at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, but in sunshade rather than rain-protection mode. Root cuts a two, the outfield is a little slow, while not for the first time today, play is held up as someone had wandered in front of the sightscreen. Twelfth man Jonny Bairstow brings on a fresh pair of gloves at the end of the over.

    "Joe Root has come out and he's looking to score. He's waiting for anything short he can latch on to with the pull shot or the cut shot, but this infield is very hard to pierce."

  19. Eng 40-3 (Holder 6-2-12-1)published at 16:47 British Summer Time 13 April 2015

    Holder has three slips in for Root, with Big Benn stationed at gully, while the subject of Aggers' new hat is causing a little mirth on TMS, with Michael Vaughan labelling it as "a ladies' hat". Root stands tall - as tall as he can manage against the two giants currently doing the bowling for West Indies - and sees off a maiden over.

    "There's a hint of spin there, but Benn's main role is to bowl maidens and build the dots. West Indies will continue to attack with Roach and Taylor."
