    Mike Smith: Anyone thought about bowling a yorker - apparently not yet.

    VB: Once again England park the bus, get 150 more runs than necessary and run out of time bowling at them. Drawing mindset.

  2. WI 245-6 (minimum 39 overs left)published at 19:08 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    Kerry, you're free to go. Jimmy Anderson is hooked, the record will have to wait. The broad-backed Ben Stokes is into the attack. Batting is starting to look easy though - Holder glances Stokes down to the fine leg boundary to bring up the 50 partnership, then Ramdin pockets another four with a crisp drive down the ground.

    Kerry Thomas: Hurry up, Jimmy. I've got to go out.

  5. WI 236-6 (target 438)published at 19:03 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    England will reckon they really only need one more wicket to expose the soft underbelly of this West Indies side, but at the moment continues to prove frustratingly elusive. Broad, who has looked plenty more threatening than Anderson, draws an edge from Holder with a really well directed delivery, but the ball lands short and trickles away for four. Joe Root's under the helmet at short leg now, time to revert to Operation Short Ball?

    James Cole: I can't make any case for thinking this England attack will bowl Australia out this summer.

    Matt Crossman: Been watching on and off all day, wickets happened on the rare occasion I've been off the couch. For Jimmy's good I'm off out!

    Iain Sharp: Going to predict that Jimmy gets the last wicket to win the match. #kingjim

    Anderson continues. Holder guides him down to backward point for three. Tenterhooks...

    Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "Good luck Phil Simmons with this lot... I'm all for positive cricket, but when you're trying to save the match, you take away those risky shots when there's two men out on the hook. No-one in the world can defend dancing down the wicket for a yahoo like Blackwood did, just before the new ball."

    Lizzie, Sheffield: For Anderson's record wicket, surely all that's needed is Vaughan to say how well Ramdin or Holder are batting...

  10. WI 226-6 (minimum 42 overs left)published at 18:55 British Summer Time 17 April 2015

    It's hard going out there for England, which really only accentuates the folly of some of those West Indian dismissals. And out of nothing, Jason Holder so nearly joins the Hall of Infamy. He pulls Stuart Broad in the air and is mighty relieved to see the ball land just beyond the clutches of the onrushing Jonathan Trott.

    Andy Shaw: Come on Jimmy. Get your wicket before I get home and I can hear it happen.

    David: Come on Broady bend your back there is a Test match to be won!

    Peter Moores sneaks a quick glance at his laptop on the England balcony. Checking the dreaded data? Let's be more charitable: perhaps he's doing a spot of online shopping, or updating his fantasy football team ahead of the weekend fixtures.

    Back on the pitch, Jason Holder times Anderson sweetly through the covers for four.

    Kev mcveigh: Seeing those shots from Smith and Blackwood to get out, when the team needs them, reminds me of KP.

    Adam Wheeler: Blackwood had a brainstorm. One way to overshadow a maiden ton.

    Jason Holder has got the right idea - dealing in singles rather than fours, not trying to overhit his shots. He's a very capable batsman, as he showed at the World Cup, albeit in almost the opposite scenario. He does find the boundary for the first time but it's a very controlled, safe shot, flicked elegantly over midwicket for four. Not an awful lot going on for the bowlers at the moment, as we pause for drinks.

    "Anyone in any club match, any village game, trying to save the match against your local rivals who got out playing a shot like Blackwood did, would be getting a penalty like getting the first round in."

    derrybannister: Can't we drop Jordan and bring back Tim Bresnan, who is by far the better bowler? More pace and swing than Jordan.

    Anderson hasn't quite got it right yet in this second spell, and when he strays he allows Holder to flick him down to long leg. On we go...

    Samuel Cardwell: Swann sounds like he's trying to talk Agnew down from the ledge after that Blackwood dismissal.

    Mark: I think if the great Richie is on commentary up there he will be calling Blackwood's shot a complete schmozzel.

    Sian Lacey Taylder: If you'd said, back in 1980, that 35 years on Windies would fold before an ordinary England side, I'd have laughed in your face.
