  1. WI 290-9 (Bishoo 22, Gabriel 19)published at 20:44 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    The skipper's solution is to turn to Moeen Ali, in the hope of enticing the big shot with some off-spin. It nearly works as well, as Gabriel aims a big heave at the first ball and is lucky not to see it disturb his timbers. But the rest of the over he is more resolute, and with England still groping for a breakthrough, I'm going to hand you back to Stephan Shemilt...

  2. WI 289-9 (Jordan 26-4-57-2)published at 20:40 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Gabriel gets a life when he slices an attempted drive and it lands just short of Stuart Broad at mid-off. The wheels aren't quite coming off yet for England, but the wheel-nuts are certainly coming loose a little as a tired-looking Chris Jordan sprays one down the leg side. Then Bishoo plays another great shot, easing the ball through the covers. Problems to solve for Alastair Cook...

    Rob Carter: Reading the live feed from over in the US between meetings I have to wonder what Americans would make of Mr Boycott. I cannot think of another broadcaster anywhere in the world, in any other sport that gives you analysis like he does.

  4. WI 285-9 (partnership 38)published at 20:35 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Shannon Gabriel beats his highest Test score, and equals his best first-class knock of 16, with a four dragged wide of mid-on. And then Bishoo unfurls an absolutely sumptuous shot, creamed through mid-off with exquisite hands. Ben Stokes, who kept Marlon Samuels tied down yesterday, is taking some real tap from numbers 10 and 11 here.

    "I think they will be delighted to have got so close to 300, especially after the movement of the ball yesterday morning."

  6. WI 275-9 (Bishoo 14, Gabriel 12)published at 20:31 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Jordan oversteps for a new ball. This partnership is now worth 27 and counting - real nuisance value for England.

  7. Not outpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Nope, pitched outside leg. The frustration continues for England...

  8. Umpire reviewpublished at 20:28 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Chris Jordan hits Bishoo on the pad, the umpire says no, and Alastair Cook gambles with a review...

    "I thought Alastair Cook was going to bring Moeen Ali on and he has instead turned to Ben Stokes. With the way these two are batting Moeen should be on. Some of the responsibility must also be placed on Mooen's shoulders. He should be badgering Cook right now telling him to put him on - that he will get him that last wicket. I keep bleating on about it but it is quite obvious on to me right now that the spinner should be on against two tail-enders."

  10. WI 273-9 (Stokes 16-7-56-1)published at 20:25 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    It's a double change in the bowling, with Ben Stokes replacing James Anderson. The Durham man deserves a second wicket for my money - he's bowled very well at times in this innings.

    Get a load of this from number 10 Devendra Bishoo - he stands tall and punches Ben Stokes down to the boundary at mid-off, with a flourishing follow-through for good measure, then he plays the same shot and collects three more. West Indies are advancing towards a competitive score here.

  11. WI 262-9published at 20:20 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Chris Jordan replaces Stuart Broad - the Nottinghamshire man's quest for a five-for is over, at least for now. Shannon Gabriel pokes a single to deep square.

    "I hope the England players do not feel like they have been out there for as long as they have. Usually when you have been out there for this long it means you are 500 or so behind but they are not. You hope that they go out with a positive mindset and go and get themselves 200 ahead."

  13. WI 261-9 (Bishoo 6, Gabriel 8)published at 20:16 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Bishoo prolongs the wait for Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott with a maiden off Anderson's latest over. We think that tea will be taken if England get a wicket now.

    James Cox: Broad at 85mph = Broad at his best.

    Mark: Broad bowling much better today, it's so frustrating that he can't do it consistently.

    Luke Swales: Keep the criticism of Broad coming folks! Always proves people wrong.

  15. WI 261-9 (Broad 24-9-61-4)published at 20:12 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Broad is so often the lightning rod for criticism of England's bowling performances but he's bowled superbly in this spell. Can he finish this off and get himself on the honours board at the Grenada National Stadium? Not yet he can't - Gabriel picks up a length ball and thumps it over cow corner for six.

    Michael Dickie: Win becoming a possibility? Bowl them out tonight, bat for 2 days then skittle them on the last day? You never know.

    "It was a weak throw from Broad's right. That had run-out written all over it, Gabriel is a bit of a lumberer."

  18. WI 254-9published at 20:07 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Jonathan Trott stands in the slips - his heart must be fluttering like a golfer's trousers in a stiff wind, the last thing the opener needs here in a frustrating last-wicket stand. Bishoo gets off the mark with an absolutely magnificent square drive off Jimmy Anderson - four all the way. Off the last ball, there's a dreadful mix-up and Bishoo is nearly run out.

    "It has been a good hour for England. Well done Stuart Broad he has bowled quite nicely in this spell."

  20. WI 248-9 (Bishoo 0, Gabriel 1)published at 20:03 British Summer Time 22 April 2015

    Shannon Gabriel is the new man, and he's away with a single to long leg.
