Eventually, and in slightly farcical circumstance, Chris Jordan is sent on his way. Joe Root had got the ball to third man and turned looking for the second, only to send Jordan back. He tried the dive to make his ground and he was very nearly successful in getting back. As it is, after a very lengthy look from the third umpire, he's given out. In yet more comedy, the video screen in the ground cuts to the scorecard rather than giving the decision, making Jordan's wait all the longer.

Still waiting, lots of replays. Super slo-mo. Is he getting away with one? On the dive, very, very close. Billy Bowden the third umpire. Some doubt? Looks out from here.

"Jordan doesn't look very happy here. He turned round and looked accusingly at Root. If this is out it's Root's fault."

He's in trouble here.

Jordan gone? Run out? We need another look....

Adam: Playing a Saturday league game in Bristol several years ago, and with my Dad being involved in the England set up for a number of years, I had a delightful young man standing at cover inform me of all his poor selections down the years...Habib, Hamilton, and Ormond to name a few. It went on for several overs as well - one of the few sledges I laughed at.

I'm told that Peter Moores took Ben Stokes aside for a chat this morning. Perhaps he was congratulating him on not chinning Marlon Samuels last night. Still the tidy Bishoo, who who has done well to tie up an end this morning. Bright sunshine, breeze just enough to ruffle the players' shirts, Bishoo being watched carefully by Jordan. "Well bowled, Bishy" is the chat from behind the stumps. Quite right, too.

"I heard Michael Vaughan say that sledging has been going on forever in cricket. I don't believe it has. I can tell you, in 25 years of batting, I never once was personally abused. There's a big difference between abuse and humorous banter, which is what the Samuels incident was."

Root, batting in a long-sleeved shirt, shows some intent, deftly late-cutting Roach to third man for four, then forcing an inside edge through the leg side for one. On the England balcony, Liam Plunkett fiddle with a drinks bottle. He's probably getting to know those bottle quite well. "See lads, this is how you take the lid off. Put the juice in to about a quarter of the way up, then fill with water."

Mark: I just love the name Bishoo. It's got a double purpose. The name of a West Indies spinner, yes, but it also sounds like something you might have heard in the dressing room of a public school cricket team circa 1953 when the opener got out to a long hop - "sorry chaps, bit of a bishoo there, didn't mean to let you down, what what..."

Bishoo rattling through his over, spinning himself a catch or two, then walking to the crease before throwing his front arm towards the batsman and delivering the ball with wrist cocked. Very tidy again from the leggie, with a Root single followed by a collection of Jordan forward defences and missed swipes.

"I think Gabriel has bowled quite well, some really fast balls have been up at 94mph. On a pitch that had more life, he would have been more threatening."

The sky is mainly a baby blue, with odd duvet of cloud over the hills that surround the ground. They don't look threatening, so let's not expect rain. Ah, wonderful from Jordan once more, with a long Roach half-volley being pinged back down the ground, just leg-side of straight. He gets attractive runs, Jordan.

Linda Woodin: Joe Root has saved this 1st Innings for England. Hope he can keep this standard up for the rest of the series.

Alex Thomas: Apart from Root, who has been superb, the England batting has been either frustratingly turgid or naively rash.

Bishoo varies his pace well. Floaty loopy, then pushed through, all to frustrate Joe Root, who tries all manner of swipes and dabs before finally getting a single from the final ball of the over. Probably honours to the Windies so far today. Plenty of opinions on Samuels, but what is the best (or worst) bit of on-field banter you've experienced? All levels of cricket welcome, try and tell something new - different to Merv Hughes, Eddo Brandes or "mind the windows, Tino".

"Roach has looked very flat in this match - he's been set back by his injury problems. He's not a shadow of what he was. West Indies don't really have any quick bowlers in reserve, but Kenroy Peters, a swinger of the ball who played against South Africa, could come into contention."

In fact, Buttler was so far down the track that he's not even in this picture of Denesh Ramdin taking the bails off. Insert caption here. Nice from Jordan, who uses our first sighting of Kemar Roach to drive handsomely through the covers for four. I'm struggling to think of a time when England have had a better batsman at number nine. Then again, I think Stuart Broad's one and only Test hundred came when batting at nine.

"At 24 years and 115 days, Joe Root is the second youngest Englishman to reach 2,000 Test runs, after Alastair Cook, who was 23 and 79 days."

Going back to the Buttler dismissal, he actually danced at Bishoo three balls in a row. Once to defend, then to hit a four down the ground, then to be stumped by miles. Very well bowled by Bishoo, who has justified his recall.

Root on strike to the leggie, a single taking him to 2,000 Test runs. At 24, he is the youngest England batsman, after Alastair Cook, to reach the milestone. Hello, big turn for Bishoo past Chris Jordan's grope. Today, we've seen spin and uneven bounce. England should be pleased.

Steve: Taken in isolation the Samuels incident looks funny and is dismissed as 'banter', but I feel it could set a dangerous precedent; where does it stop? Will each bowler have their own send-off move? Send off music? Potentially to become highly unsporting and ungentlemanly, contravening the spirit of cricket.
