Already we're closing in on lunch, with James Anderson looking likely to bowl right through this mini-session. Back over the wicket now, still swinging the ball across this pair of left-handers, who are looking increasingly comfortable. After Anderson rearranged Brathwaite's furniture, I bet the Windies would have bitten your arm off for being only one down at lunch.

"The selection of Moeen Ali for James Tredwell was predictable. If Jos Buttler does come in at eight. then I am trying to think of a better batsman to come in at eight. Geoffrey might come up with a few."

Chris Jordan's staccato run-up is seen for the first time in the match, with the Sussex man shuffling his gold chain and sweat band in and producing in-swingers to this pair of left-handers. Radar not quite there yet, bit too leggy, but the full length is decent and the pace is high the high-80s. An in-ducker pins Smith, but an inside edge sees both the appeal rejected and any question of a review swiftly discarded. Smith finished the over by driving down the ground for four. Jordan getting it thereabouts, but not quite there.

"We talk about West Indies cricket and that they play eccentric shots but they have been really well disciplined this morning in a situation that really suits the England bowlers."

A tempter from Anderson, wide and full to Bravo, swinging away in the direction of the four hippos in the slip cordon. Bravo lines it up, then decides that discretion is the better part of valour. More sunshine, the clouds are now fluffy and white, rather than grey. Chris Jordan wheels his arms like a man trying to take off as Anderson uses the crease, still round the wicket. A third successive maiden, with a change coming up.

Tom Colocci: Some great armchair bowling coming up here: I reckon Broad is going for the glory ball too often and the batsmen are wise to it. He needs to set them up with more outswingers and use the inswinger as a surprise ball.

The sun is playing a game of hide and seek with itself. One Broad delivery is sent down in bright sunshine, the next in the sort of gloom you'd find in Blackpool in July. The stands are very sparsely populated, with those who are in attendance not exactly on the edge of their seats. One lady lets out a very long yawn. Still not great from Broad, sprayed on both sides of the wicket. Time for a change.

Broad, Stokes and Jordan - none of them really swing the ball. Anderson is the only out-and-out swing bowler, that is why in these conditions I would like to have two spinners.

We have something of a game of two ends at the moment. Anderson provides an omni-threat, while Broad isn't taking advantage of the early help. My word, that's some leave from Bravo, who withdraws his bat from another Anderson hooper and sees it miss off stump by a coat of varnish. Another Jimmy maiden, his third from five overs.

Ross in Berkshire: With all the Negativity of England selection leading towards a safety with Butler at 8. If a Trott failure occurs in this test it could lean towards this XI for the 3rd Test! Mooen, Cook, Ballance, Bell, Root, Stokes, Butler, Rashid, Broad, Plunkett, Anderson. Giving us 4 seamers, 2-3 spinners and side that can bat down to at least 8!

Too short from Stuart Broad, with Devon Smith swivelling on a pull shot that goes square for four. Inconsistent from Broad, who asks for short leg to be posted back to square leg. The batsman will be pleased to see that. Broad to get an early hook from the attack? England continue to chirp to the background noise of the off horn, while the sun does its best to burn off the clouds. Broad's length improves as the over progresses.

"They were standing close, they are now standing even closer. They are breathing down the batsman necks, they are standing that close. They will have to take some sharp catches."

Every ball is an event for James Anderson at the moment, every sprint and hurl of the red cherry producing hooping deliveries of danger. Darren Bravo almost comes a cropper with an outside edge that falls just short of the diving Ben Stokes at fourth slip. Before that, with Anderson round the wicket, Bravo played a lovely cover drive for four. Plenty happening.

Broad, a hint of movement away from the lefties, strains for a fuller length and is pushed down the ground for a couple by Smith. The breeze is strong enough to ruffle the shirt of the batsman, who is looking to leave the ball as much as possible. Good plan, with Broad now a little too wide. Not much atmosphere in Grenada, with the odd toot of a horn providing some noise. An England fielder, possibly Joe Root, tells them to aim for "15-3".

On Twitter:, external That ball was as good as it gets... 4 slips put in place .. Braithwaite expecting the Outs...

Anderson, now in sunshine and with four slips waiting behind the tall figure of Darren Bravo. Away-swing from the leftie - play and miss, edge short of the slips, play and miss. "Send him the piano, see if he can play that." Short leg has been dispensed with, England clearly feeling that the the edge, rather than the bat-pad, is the more likely mode of dismissal. They're probably right, Anderson is getting this ball to sing like Pavarotti.

Russell Tunstall: What a delivery from Jimmy Anderson great start England.

Matthew Warne: Jimmy Anderson that's a Bobby Dazzler!

Dukkhaboy: If you had 7 deliveries to sum up Jimmy Anderson the first 7 today might just do it.

England are chirping as Stuart Broad whips the ball past Smith's outside edge. That fog remains, not only hovering over the ground, but also the dressing room of the Windies, who must feel that this session before lunch could be very difficult indeed.
