  1. WI 208-6 (target 438)published at 18:34 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Stuart Broad, who has been by Jimmy Anderson's side for so many of his great moments, shares the new ball. Anderson shows that his mind's still on the job with a good stop at mid-on, but he can't block the next shot from Denesh Ramdin, punched authoritatively down the ground for four.

    "For every Boycott, there's a Blackwood."

    Jonathan Agnew adds: "Geoffrey combusted at that wicket. I don't think I've ever seen him so angry."

  5. WI 201-6 (minimum 47 overs left)published at 18:29 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Everybody ready...record-chaser James Anderson is back into the attack, carrying in his illustrious hands the shiny new ball. Cameramen hurry to get into position for the money shot. Historians wait, quills poised above the page. In a TV commentary box, Ian Botham clears his throat. Aaaaaannnd...Denesh Ramdin laces him through the covers for four. And then gets a streaky four past gully. Still waiting...

  6. WI 193-6published at 18:24 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Still no new ball. Chris Jordan continues. Holder collects a couple through the covers.

    "Anyone can play a poor shot, when you're trying hard, and get out. But with Blackwood, I'm lost for words - it was just giving his wicket away."

  8. WI 191-6 (target 438)published at 18:19 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    England have declined to take the new ball for the moment, and just to heighten the intrigue, Jimmy Anderson has picked this moment to trot off the field. So Joe Root wheels away for another over. Holder runs a single past the slips for the solitary run of the over.

  11. WI 190-6 (Ramdin 18*, Holder 1*)published at 18:16 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Jason Holder is the new man - and as the one-day captain, you can only hope he shows a bit more responsibility than his team-mates have mustered today. He's off the mark with a single to extra cover. The new ball is due...

    "Wonderful to see from the eyes of an English supporter. I can only assume Phil Simmons said something at the lunch break as they've played aggressively and knocked Tredwell out of the attack, but to come down the wicket to Chris Jordan? Blackwood will be reminded of that for the rest of the series."

    "That is awful. That is brainless. Just went down the pitch and whooshed at it. Brathwaite got out to a really good bouncer from Broad yesterday, but that was just suicide. There's more brains in a pork pie, he's just giving the game to England. Look at Devon Smith this morning, you've got no chance of winning a Test match if you do brainless things like that."

  14. WICKETpublished at 18:10 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Cover your children's eyes, this is X-rated. With one over to go before the new ball, Jermaine Blackwood charges down the track at Chris Jordan, plays a preposterously inappropriate swipe, and gets a faint tickle behind to Jos Buttler. West Indies coach Phil Simmons will be steaming like a copper kettle.

  15. WI 189-5published at 18:09 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Joe Root, a player with a faint sprinkling of gold-dust about him at the moment, is going to have a brief joust at the Windies before the new ball.

    Gary Ballance, who you may recall wore one from Jos Buttler yesterday, is the unwitting beneficiary when Root serves up a long hop and Blackwod creams a pull shot straight into his hand. He's OK though, made of tough stuff.

    "Blackwood doesn't seem like a player who will play for a single - even if you push mid-on and mid-off back, he'll still go for it. If you get hit for four two or three times, he can have them. Sometimes you've got to play for wickets."

  17. WI 185-5 (minimum 52 overs left)published at 18:06 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Three overs until the second new ball is due. For now, Jordan continues to toil away with the old nut, and he nearly makes the breakthrough when he entices Blackwood to carve one through the covers, narrowly eluding the fingertips of the diving Joe Root. If Blackwood is going to see the West Indies home here, he's not going to do it by the book...

    Scott Fowler: These young West Indians are good. But they're not at the level of Gayle, Pollard, Sammy and Dwayne Bravo. Which is a shame.

  19. WI 181-5 (Blackwood 27*, Ramdin 14*)published at 18:01 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    James Tredwell is going to be the man who West Indies target to release the pressure valve periodically. Or perhaps not so periodically - Ramdin tonks him back over his head first ball, then steps away and flashes a cut to the point boundary, then lofts down the ground again for two. Ten runs off the over.
