Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"Playing on these types of surfaces is just dull. Yes, you have to show some concentration and resolve but you would expect that from cricketers playing Test cricket."

Moeen's had a rotten Test match so far - he ran himself out without scoring and he's really struggled with the ball. Is this merely a blip, or the end of his honeymoon period in Test cricket? We will see. Brathwaite works him to deep midwicket for two.

"I've been impressed by Brathwaite. He's old-fashioned in the way he plays, has got a good technique and he likes that cut shot. All the West Indies players have kept to their favourite areas of scoring."

Brathwaite and Jordan, in case you hadn't already heard this nugget, went to the same school in Barbados. Rihanna was also a pupil, if I'm not much mistaken. Brathwaite drives through cover for three.

Graeme: If Ashley Giles was the King of Spain, Moeen Ali must be the King of the Long Hop he bowls two every over.

It's not happening for Moeen here - he's getting the ball to grip but he's just not consistently finding the right areas in order to build pressure and threaten the bat. England's fielding has been good though, and Stokes does well to cut off a single at cover.

Dave Wilson: Is this pitch really flat? Or is it just two average bowling attacks struggling? I bet Australia, South Africa and New Zealand bowlers would threaten more.

Writing WI at the top of these entries keeps making me think of the Women's Institute. If Kraigg Brathwaite had a baking speciality, it would surely be rock cake - slightly homespun perhaps, but solid and not prone to crumble. Samuels would be something a little more stylish, with a bit of spice - an iced cinnamon sponge, perhaps. Jordan hustles through another over for the loss of a single.

Ah, that's more like it, Brathwaite dabs Moeen through gully for two. England's spinner is continuing to look impotent here.

Nick: Arthur Milton made his Test debut in 1958 making him a double international (football and cricket). He opened that day with MJ Smith, a double international in cricket and rugby union. Milton then made a hundred on debut.

Television has just shown Kraigg Brathwaite's wagon wheel against seam in the last five Test matches. The V between cover and backward point was streaked with purple lines, the rest of the pitch was virtually bare. A man who knows his strengths and sticks to them. He rings the changes with a single to mid-on.

"The crowd are very vocal now, gearing up for the end of play. There's always a tremendous party, the DJ cranks it up."

Moeen, who's looked as rusty as an old spade in this match, continues. He's served up a few short balls in this spell and there's another one, pulled for two by Brathwaite.

Sarah Clarke: Clare Taylor MBE is a former double international AND postie. Football and cricket for England (and Yorkshire), worked for Royal Mail.

Brathwaite has really gone into his bunker since tea - he's crawled from 68 to 75 in the 70 minutes or so since the break. But who can reproach him - he's done superbly to marshal West Indies into the lead with eight wickets still in hand.

Mark Savile: Time to take Root off, economical but not threatening. Give the poor lad a rest after his monumental efforts!

Root errs with a horrible delivery that slides miles down the leg and presses a scampering Jonathan Trott into service to prevent it reaching the rope. West Indies have caught up with England's total - any runs from here on in take them into the black.

Nick, waiting for curry in Altrincham: I think the England team should break out into "So Long, Farewell" from Sound of Music when Samuels goes
