Still waiting. Very slow reverse...

Ah, finally the players emerge, James Anderson unscathed enough to take the new ball. Devon Smith and Kraigg Brathwaite will open the batting - it was Brathwaite that Jimmy bowled with a rozzer in the first innings. They do battle again here, waiting for the roller to trundle off.

Dom Tulett in Fulham: Played against former India keeper and occasional opening batsman Deep Dasgupta in a Norfolk club game a few years ago. After he'd scored a chanceless 50-odd one of our team punned that "If we don't get a wicket soon, we'll be in 'deep' trouble." Dasgupta turned, chuckled, and was out next ball.

"Joe Root does have energy and dynamism at the crease - but there are times when he turns and looks as though he's going for a second run, and I think that some of his batting partners feel the same."

I'm hearing that there is a five-minute delay. No idea why. It might be that they have to prevent Joe Root from attacking James Anderson.

BBC Test Match Special statistician

"Joe Root has converted four of his six hundreds into 150+ scores. Only three players in Test history have an equal or better conversion rate: Dennis Amiss, Zaheer Abbas and Cheteshwar Pujara."

"Joe Root is nowhere near as good as AB De Villiers yet, but he has the potential to be that type of player in the middle order. He may move up to four in the future, who knows."

Perhaps Jimmy just fancied a bowl. It certainly took the England balcony by surprise - Alastair Cook didn't even have his whites on. What do we expect from the rest of the day? England wickets, or Windies occupation? With the sun out, it still feels like a time to be batting.

Comedian and cricket writer Andy Zaltzman on Twitter:, external The last time England had three batsmen run out in the first innings of a Test was in Adelaide, 1901-02.

Eliot Batchelor: Silly by Jimmy Anderson. You should always make the effort.

Sam Needham: Jimmy that is absolutely schoolboy stuff, you owe Joe Root a beer or six for that.

Barney Thompson: It would be fair to say Joe Root is a trifle upset - and no wonder! Jimmy had better take some wickets now to compensate!

"Joe Root's 182 not out is the highest by an Englishman in the West Indies since Dennis Amiss's 262 not out in Kingston in 1974."

"Maybe today is the day when West Indies fold and there is a calypso collapso."

So, silly run-outs aside, England are 464 all out, a lead of 165. West Indies need to make that many just to make England bat again. Though wickets have fallen with regularity both last night and this morning, they were more down to batsman error than the behaviour of the ball. It still looks good for batting. Can the Windies resist, or are England set to steam towards victory?

"I think it's the best thing for the team. Now they can get out there and get 10 wickets. It's a better carrot for the West Indies that last week in Antigua, when all they had to do was block out for a draw."

"You don't see many of those in a season, let alone from a man who has 101 Test matches. All he had to do was ground his bat."

It's totally bizarre. Coming back for a second run, James Anderson simply made no attempt to make his ground. Maybe he thought the throw would sail over the head of Jason Holder, but the tall bowler leapt to gather, then took the bails off. If Anderson had merely stretched, he would have made his ground - we weren't even asking for a dive.

Joe Root is fuming, left high and dry on 182. He blasted the ground with his bat, then threw his helmet as he crossed the boundary. Very dozy from Jimmy.

What has happened here? James Anderson about to be victim to one of the worst run outs you will ever see...

Dukkhaboy: The most enjoyment per run scored is in your teams 10th wicket partnership- the most annoyance is in the opposition's 10th wicket.

Andy: Root is not farming the strike to protect Jimmy, but to ensure he reaches his second double century!

This is all getting a bit silly. Twice Root chips into the outfield, twice he is nearly caught, twice there is no run. Silly? Ignore me, I've got no idea what I'm talking about. Third ball of Bishoo's over, slog-sweep, out of the middle of the middle, sailing over cow corner for a maximum. Bafflingly, the Windies make no attempt to stop the single from the fifth ball, leaving Anderson one ball to play back.
