  1. Missed stumpingpublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Samuels advances to smack Tredwell for another straight six - then next ball, gives him the charge again, misses and there's a missed stumping chance as keeper Jos Buttler can't take the ball cleanly, in fact they run a bye.

    "If West Indies just block out and are patient, they can't get bowled out on this wicket. It's batter error that England are relying on."

    Alice Stainer: Loving the description 'abject dismissal' in relation to a player who is not an Englishman. Hurrah!

    Sally Smith: Devon Smith did a Stokes... rush of blood there.

  4. WI 119-3 (target 438)published at 15:51 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Anderson ducks a bouncer from Anderson, before practising an aggressive hook shot after the ball has gone. Meanwhile, I'd imagine West Indies are giving Smith the could shoulder after that kamikaze shot. Samuels watchfully sees out a maiden.

    "Devon Smith faced 28 balls off James Tredwell without scoring."

    "Devon Smith is a very poor player of off-spin bowling. He's run down the wicket and tried to smite it over the top, and all he did was hit it straight to mid-on. It's just crazy, Tredwell hasn't even looked like taking a wicket. It's just the breakthrough England needed."

  7. WI 119-3 (min 77 overs left)published at 15:47 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Shivnarine Chanderpaul, alias "The Crab", begins what he will hope is a long, dogged, defensive innings by shouldering arms to his first ball from Tredwell.

    "That's one of the most abject dismissals I've ever seen in a Test match. To have played like that for 174 balls, then run down the track and hit it to the fielder is just so stupid. I'd be so angry with myself if I were Devon Smith."

    Gone! After all that concentration, Smith has a rush of blood, charges at Tredwell and lifts a catch straight to mid-on. Perhaps we have our answer as to why a man with such a sound-looking technique averages less than 25 in Tests.

    Time for The Crab...

  10. What was the best catch ever?published at 15:45 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Andrew Valentine: Old Trafford 2005. Geraint Jones catching Shane Warne off Flintoff, via Strauss' thigh. Fantastic catch.

  11. WI 118-2 (Smith 65*, Samuels 16*)published at 15:42 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Anderson has a 7-2 off-side field for Smith, with a couple of catchers on the square in the cover region. Smith's technique looks solid, he helps a two to fine leg.

    "He is a brilliant bloke and he realises how important this is for so many other people. That is something a lot of other sportsmen forget.

    "It's very easy to get wrapped up in a bubble and get very self-involved. It means so much more to his mum and dad, so he has accepted that they have to be here and puts on a brave face.

    "But deep down I know he hates it. He just wants the record to go. He would have given a year's salary to get two wickets in the first over today and then forget about it and watch England try to win this Test match."

  13. WI 116-2 (min 79 overs left)published at 15:38 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Tredwell comes round the wicket to Samuels - and the big Jamaican advances and swats him for six over long-off! He comes down the wicket again next ball, can't connect fluently and is hit on the hip, and Joe Root mimes a fisherman "reeling him in". A careful smack through the big gap at cover point brings Samuels four more.

    "It's a pain in the backside for him. He is not a man who likes to be in the public eye.

    "He has come out here and he has got all the media writing pieces which are ready to publish. Ian Botham is brought to the mic every time he bowls. His family is here - mum, dad, kids, wife, everything.

    "I spoke to him last night and I just said I hope it happens for you tomorrow and he said, 'I know I'm fed up with this'. He wants to go back to being Jimmy Anderson who can just concentrate on his bowling."

  16. WI 106-2 (target 438)published at 15:35 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    England make their first bowling change of the day - James Anderson replaces Broad to bowl the 50th over, not having been used since the 14th. Samuels knocks a single, and Graeme Swann on TMS has already spotted a hint of reverse swing from his great friend Anderson.

  17. Text 81111published at 15:35 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Duncan, Isleworth: I may be proved wrong but I can't help but feel England left their declaration an hour or so too late, 350 was a good enough lead... I predict they will run out of time. Not aggressive enough!

  19. WI 105-2 (min 81 overs left)published at 15:30 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Having bowled three maidens to Smith, Tredwell gets his first chance to bowl at the right-handed Samuels. He uses his feet to lift a single over mid-off.

  20. WI 104-2 (Smith 63*, Samuels 4*)published at 15:27 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Finally the deadlock is broken as Samuels pushes Broad for a single. Having taken 92 balls to reach 50, West Indies took another 191 to reach 100. And the tiny trickle becomes a flow as Smith guides a four past the slips.
