    Hillel: Last time England played the Windies they struggled against key wickets. Need to control Samuels and Chanderpaul this series.

    Jonno Evans: Surely time for a Jack Brooks call-up?

  2. WI 66-2 (Brathwaite 26*, Samuels 19*)published at 19:17 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    Ben Stokes gets his first bowl of the afternoon. He bowls a few bad balls but does have a knack of producing a wicket-taking delivery. His first contribution is of the more charitable variety though, a wide full toss which Brathwaite scythes backward of point for four.

    James Gutteridge: Still not convinced by Jordan, a lucky wicket doesn't paper over the cracks. Plenty of other capable English bowlers out there.

    Jon Dunn: I refuse to believe that Broad & Jordan are in the top four bowlers in English cricket at the moment.

  5. WI 62-2published at 19:13 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    More runs for Samuels as Anderson returns to the attack and is promptly punched through the covers off the back foot - lovely stroke. Batting just beginning to look a little easier now, the ball coming on nicely...

    This has been a rather slow and steady session so far, but the arrival of Marlon Samuels could well herald a slight quickening of the pulse. Samuels is a gloriously natural strokemaker and he's dealing in boundaries out the moment, driving Broad back past his toes and down to the mid-off boundary. Woof.

    Samuels could have been gone a couple of balls later though: he knocks one straight to Jimmy Anderson at mid-off and ill-advisedly sets off for a single, but Anderson's throw is wide of the stumps and trickles away for four overthrows. Samuels would have been out by yards.

    Terry Mahoney: Re: Peter and Alan circa 18:43 - Let's just say that Jordan has popped an invitation to the party through the letter box.

    Alan Compton: You only need one in the right postcode to take a wicket, I suppose...

  9. WI 47-2published at 19:04 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    Jordan has settled in to a better line here - he gets one to just nip back off the seam and whistle past the exposed off stump of Brathwaite. A maiden.

    "Malcolm Marshall was the leader of the pack, he would come up with information that could be passed around the bowlers - he showed you which side you should be shining it, for instance. I look at all the technical stuff today, I look at Chris Jordan and think he could straighten out a little bit - his run-up is rather ungainly and he looks as though he should have a javelin in his hand."

  11. WI 47-2published at 19:00 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    Strangled yelps of glee in the slip cordon as Broad produces a very good delivery which just evades the flashing blade of Brathwaite - that was an uncharacteristically loose stroke from the nuggety opener.

    Do any modern batsmen remind you of yourself?

    "There are certain shots Dwayne Smith plays - there are times I think he's a mini Viv - but I don't think he's been consistent enough."

    So, Marlon Samuels joins Kraigg Brathwaite in the middle. And he greets Chris Jordan with an absolute peach of a shot - standing tall and spanking a full ball through the covers. Samuels didn't even move - he knew that was four.

    "I don't think there's any doubt, but he'll be disappointed with that non-shot - he was fiddling outside off stump and the keeper took a good catch."

    Ah. Apologies Darren, I've jinxed you there. He had been getting the ball out of the middle, but now he falls to a rather curious dismissal: Chris Jordan sends down a fairly innocuous delivery that keeps low outside off, Bravo looks to try and withdraw his bat but he can't prevent a little edge, which is pouched low down by Jos Buttler.

    Does the ICC really police all these rules and regulations about different colours and logos allowed on cricket boots?

    "You'd be surprised. During the game, the match referees will come in and do spot-checks to check boots and widths of bats. David Boon once apologised that he had to give me a reprimand because a bit of tape covering a logo on my armguard. When a new boot comes out, the manufacturers have to send them to the ICC to check, before releasing them. I was covering the Caribbean Premier League last year and Lendl Simmons's bat had holes bored in them by over-zealous customs officials in Miami as they thought he was smuggling cocaine - they saw a cricket bat and didn't know what it was."

  18. WI 41-1published at 18:49 British Summer Time 14 April 2015

    Stuart Broad, reddening appreciably in the afternoon sun, resumes after drinks. Hot work out there. Four men wait in the slip cordon but it's a futile vigil so far, with the redoubtable Brathwaite and Bravo locating the ball with the middle of the bat. Bravo ends the over with two through point.

    Pete Thorneycroft: I'm not really sure what Jordan brings to the party.

    Alan Compton: Jordan struggles to bowl six deliveries in the same postcode. Clarke and Smith will be licking their lips.
