    "What a bowler Jimmy Anderson has been for England - a joy to watch throughout the years. He arrived on the scene with those big booming outswingers and he's turned himself into a real skilful bowler who can get all sorts of wickets. It was a beauty, it bounced off a length."

    "It's been a slog today to get there, but well done James Anderson. It's been a privilege and pleasure to have watched him take 384 wickets. It was a lovely catch from Cook."

  3. WICKET - Anderson sets new England recordpublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    That's the record! James Anderson finds some bounce in the pitch, induces an outside edge from Denesh Ramdin, the Windies skipper nicks it to slip where his opposite number Alastair Cook takes the catch diving to his left. It sparks wild scenes of celebrations - while his parents, who have been watching all game, embrace in their hospitality box.

    James Anderson is now England's leading Test wicket-taker - his 384 victims overtaking Sir Ian Botham's 383.

    "England have got to create some energy. If they break this partnership, it could be over quickly."

  5. WI 294-6 (min 19 overs left)published at 20:51 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    It's at times like this I start remembering things I've heard earlier in the game - like "England have never won a Test in Antigua"... the tourists turn back to the part-time off-spin of Joe "Goldenarm" Root, who broke two crucial stands earlier in the innings by removing Devon Smith and Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Ramdin slog-sweeps a four, but there are encouraging signs as Root spins a couple past the outside edge. We're four overs away from the last hour...

    Jack Allum: Same old defensive rubbish from Cook. We don't need a single boundary fielder, get everyone in closer.

    Alan Compton: What's with having fielders on the rope? Catches win matches!

    "I think Adil Rashid may get a chance in Grenada. If the pitch is like this, you don't need four seamers, and you don't need three off-spinners in James Tredwell, Moeen Ali and Joe Root."

  8. WI 289-6 (England need four wickets to win)published at 20:47 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    A bit of a delay while Anderson runs back out. If I were an England fan at the ground, I'd be trying anything here, just like Michael suggests - go for a walk round the ground, for instance. (I maintain that going for an ice-cream at Lord's in 2013 produced a flurry of Aussie wickets including Michael Clarke). Holder leaves anything he doesn't have to play at, Jimmy is giving it everything but it ain't going England's way.

    "I used to try anything as captain to try and change the course of the match. I'd go off the field and hope I heard the roar of a wicket when I was in the toilet."

    Plenty of applause - from fans of both teams - as Holder pushes Tredwell for a jogged single to bring up the century stand from 177 balls. England need to keep up the intensity here, or this victory will slip away from them.

    Comedian and cricket writer Andy Zaltzman:, external This is just eighth time in Test history (and the first by West Indies) that two batsmen at seven or lower have scored fifties in the fourth innings of a match.

    "England should get everyone in catching positions. The runs are irrelevant - West Indies aren't getting these runs."

  14. WI 288-6 (Ramdin 52*, Holder 61*)published at 20:41 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Indeed, a long-ish Jordan spell (seven overs either side of tea) is ended as James Anderson returns at the Ambrose End - still level with Sir Ian Botham on 383 Test wickets and needing one more for the outright record. Two slips and three catchers in front of the wicket, but Holder adds a single and Ramdin's defence holds firm. Anderson sprints off at the end of the over - seemingly for a comfort break - and is temporarily replaced by 12th man Adam Lyth.

    "Ramdin and Holder are batting brilliantly. I can't see them getting out ever. They could bat for another week."

    Earlier in the Test match Michael Vaughan hexed Alastair Cook with a commentator's curse. You can't blame him for trying for a repeat!

  16. WI 287-6 (min 23 overs left)published at 20:35 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Tredwell begins his 34th over of the innings - his 60th of the match - and Michael Vaughan isn't happy at England's field, with a man positioned on the point boundary even though West Indies need more than 150 more. Just a single added. Time for another Anderson burst?

    "Holder hasn't been unsettled by anything, spin or seam. So how would I get him out of that comfort zone? I might put two men back and bounce him."

    Oh, that's a lovely shot - Holder stands tall (not difficult when you're 6ft 7ins) and punches Jordan through the covers for four off the back foot. There's still a short mid-on in place as Holder adds a single to move to 59. He's a little ahead of his captain, who fluently flicks a two to fine leg to move to 52.

    "Ramdin looks to get forward, which is a good technique on this slow, lowish pitch. He's not going to get caught on the crease if he can help it."
