  1. Was Jordan's catch the best ever?published at 15:27 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Andrew Dennett: Fairly sure every catch Jonty Rhodes took was a stunner!

  2. WI 99-2 (target 438)published at 15:23 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Tredwell rattles through another maiden to Smith. The sixth successive one.

    How about a wicket? Or even a run?

  3. WI 99-2 (min 84 overs left)published at 15:20 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    If you think our scorecard has been stuck on 99-2 for 15 minutes or so... it hasn't moved - bad news if any of you were expecting a frenzied West Indies run chase. But if their intention is purely to bat out the day, they're doing fine so far. Broad to Samuels, maiden over, five on the trot.

    Six overs in under 20 minutes - keep this up, they may even get more than 90 in today.

    Dude: Lyth and Plunkett in for Jordan and Trott. Jordan not a good enough bowler and offers the same as the rest of the seam attack.

    Andrew Farrell: Why not bring Ali in for Trott and play two spinners?

  5. WI 99-2 (target 438)published at 15:16 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Four men round the bat as Tredwell bowls to Smith, another rapid maiden over. Four on the trot.

  6. Was Jordan's catch the best ever?published at 15:16 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Jordan King: Jordan's is a belter but Strauss' one handed flyer to get Gilchrist in the 2005 Ashes series is the best ever. Outrageous leap.

  7. WI 99-2 (min 86 overs left)published at 15:14 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Broad begins the 44th over, the second new ball won't be available until partway into the afternoon session. We know how aggressively Samuels can play in one-day cricket but he's doing a good job here for the Windies, having batted out 31 deliveries for three runs. Our third maiden in succession.

    "Four very similar seamers here for me doesn't look right. If they had a left-arm seamer, or a quicker bowler like Liam Plunkett, it would be better."

    Nigel in Leeds: Hope I am wrong, but I have a feeling last night that West Indies really fancy this chase. If they get through to the new ball on, say, 240-4, would they go for it, I wonder? How would this shellshocked set of players cope with an all-out assault?

  10. WI 99-2 (Smith 59*, Samuels 3*)published at 15:09 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Tredwell gets some sharp turn as the left-handed Smith prods forward - that spun off the middle of the pitch. Batsmen beware. Maiden over.

    Jeff Hitchings: England to win today but who makes way for Moeen Ali to get back in the team? Would be very harsh to drop Tredwell.

    Toby Fields: Cook, Lyth, Ballance, Bell, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Ali, Broad, Tredwell, Anderson. Two spinners to allow Ali in.

  12. WI 99-2 (target 438)published at 15:07 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Even though they've had all night and all morning to think about fielding plans, there's an interminable delay while England work out their field for the right-handed Samuels. It's almost a schoolboy field with men at silly mid-off and silly mid-on, added to the two slips and gully. Samuels, watchful, sees off a maiden.

  13. Was Jordan's catch the best ever?published at 15:07 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Stuart M: If he had been stood in the correct position for slip fielding to Tredwell to start off with, the catch would not have needed to have been that spectacular, and he would not have missed the next one that came along two overs later. He would have had two nice safe catches straight into his midriff.

  14. WI 99-2 (min 89 overs left)published at 15:02 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Off-spinner Tredwell has a slip, short leg and a fairly short extra cover catching for Samuels, who gets the score moving with a single wide of mid-off. Smith patiently sees out the over. One down, 89 to go.

    The Seaweed Man (see previous days) is in place - and when the clock ticks round to the top of the hour, it's going to be spinner James Tredwell - who can expect a lot of bowling today - opening up for England.

    "England need two wickets here, two in the afternoon, then they're six down by tea and the tail goes quicker."

    West Indies' batsmen head out after the England fielders - Devon Smith is on 59, looking for only the second century of his 12-year Test career, with Marlon Samuels on two.

    Dr Matty Evs: The four seamers in this match are too similar, This team bats down to number nine, Broad has to go as he cant bat anymore and his 82-3mph county bowling is not good enough. Sorry for Tredders but Moeen's batting tips the scale his way.

    Team: Alastair Cook, Adam Lyth, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Jordan, James Anderson, Mark Wood.

    "I think Anderson's wife goes home today."

    Graeme Swann adds: "Daniella isn't a great cricket watcher, she used to enjoy it when my wife was there as they would try out the local vino."

    Tim Walker: Second Test side: bring in a proper opener and stand Trott down for his own good. Moores and Cook bring players in because they want them in, not because they're right for the moment. DO NOT drop Tredwell! So; Cook, Lyth, Ballance, Bell, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Jordan, Anderson, Tredwell, Broad. Ali has to wait his turn!

    Matt Roberts: Only change would be Lyth in for Trott, you would only bring in Moeen for Tredwell if we batted poorly this Test.
