A few more entries for the Crustacean XI we were discussing earlier while Shivnarine "The Crab" Chanderpaul was batting...

Roger Williams, Twickenham: None of the modern crustaceans are a patch on the great Australian from the early days, Clam Hill.

Tom, Herefordshire (and others): You can't have a crustacean XI without including Michael Slater (a slater is a kind of crustacean).

Andrew Rankin: Of course, moules mariniere must have Onions.

A ripple of applause around the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium as Ballance brings up the hundred for England and then the fifty stand, as the ones and twos continue to flow.

While Benn and Samuels bowling in tandem will improve West Indies' over-rate, it'll also give England a nice end-of-day boost of easy runs. 18 minutes remaining of day three.

"The footholes haven't really arrived yet. There's nothing of note for the spinners to aim at."

Samuels rattles through the rest of his over at the cost of two singles.

As we thought - impact outside the line, and even if it wasn't, it was also an "umpire's call" for hitting the wickets. Ramdin may be sent to remedial "how to use DRS" school at the close of play.

"That's a panic review. The umpires do get some wrong, but generally it has be a thud below the knee roll to be overturned."

An overly optimistic review from captain Denesh Ramdin as Root is hit on the pad by Samuels attempting a pull shot - the impact looked clearly outside off stump and he was playing a shot...

James Standen: Let's be honest with ourselves! We are struggling v WI... the Aussies will be 10-0 unless a whole Test gets rained off!

Jamie Taylor: West Indies v Yorkshire...

Root square-cuts Benn, but that's only a single as the fleet-footed Jermaine Blackwood is patrolling the cover boundary. Busy, positive cricket from the fourth-wicket pair means they're picking up ones, twos and even a three with ease - the stand is up to 45, and the lead is up to 201.

Omnishambles: Supporting England cricket has to be a form of Stockholm Syndrome.

Rachel T: My son is learning cricket at school this term. Needless to say I'm not allowing him to watch this Test.

A good call from MP Vaughan - as it's going to be Marlon Samuels to bowl his part-time off-spin, inscrutable behind his sunglasses. But his first ball is another freebie, full outside leg stump and Root easily sweeps it for four. England's lead continues to build.

"The way Sulieman Benn is bowling, I don't know if we'll see him in Grenada. It's too short, there's nothing on it. These two bowlers are releasing all the pressure. Ramdin needs to bowl Taylor and Holder, or if not, Marlon Samuels."

Root drives Benn through the covers, it's half-stopped and they run two. A more fluent cut shot brings the young Yorkshire right-hander (he's still only 24) four, and there are plenty of free runs to be had at the moment. There are three close fielders but Benn's not really bringing them into the game.

"West Indies need to get Kemar Roach out of the attack. They need to build pressure, they need to get wickets. He's bowling slowly, he's bowling with nothing on it, there are too many freebies coming Ballance's way."

Listen to TMS commentary via the audio icon (available in UK only).

This is not good bowling from Roach, spraying it around either side of the wicket as Ballance helps himself to a four through point and another helped down to fine leg. Frustrating for the Windies after all the control Taylor and Holder showed earlier, that Roach and Benn have allowed England to step on the gas - but in a four-man attack, there's no hiding place. Perhaps the Seaweed Man (see earlier) could turn his arm over?

Marko Koning: England's number four batsman don't even have time for a cup of tea these days. Another top-order collapse. Worrying.

Thomas Hammond: England are maddening. It would be fascinating to see what goes on behind closed doors in terms of preparation.

Root moves into double figures, helping Benn for two through square leg. Meanwhile, TMS scorer Andrew Samson reveals that England were seven overs adrift of their target by the time they bowled West Indies out - and they've "no excuse" for that according to Michael Vaughan, considering how long spinner Tredwell bowled.

"Joe Root's arrived at the crease and he wants to look busy against Sulieman Benn. Ballance has been very watchful - he's played and missed at a few, but he's seen off the new ball and he's good at using the width and getting that left hand into play."

After that three-over burst from Taylor, it's time for a third spell from Kemar Roach - and having seen off Taylor, Ballance finds the room to cut Roach for four. 44 minutes left of play today.

Graeme Swann
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"Benn won't mind that six too much, because Root's playing across the line. There's always that fine line when you're a spinner between the shot that you want to see the batsman play, and the shot that you want to see the batsman mess up playing."
