The ageless Shiv Chanderpaul waits with pads on and warpaint under his eyes. Surely the only Test cricketer in the world to live in the USA (Florida), he is also old enough (40) for his son to have played nine first-class matches. Shiv has a bowling machine at his house, which I'm told he gets his wife to feed. Brilliant. He'd get into my favourite cricketers XI, even if he does bat like he's made from Meccano. Anderson bowling, absolutely nothing happening.

Martin on a train from Manchester: World cricket needs a strong West Indies team. At our best we are a damn sight more entertaining than England. Who does Ben Stokes think he is sledging people's after a 5 minute career. Not fit to lace Malcolm Marshall's boots. He never sledged anybody just took wickets.

In the stands, an England fan is lying across four of the blue plastic seats, zonked out. If he's asleep, I hope he's got suncream on, otherwise lobster will be on the menu. Root to Bravo, dropping short to be cut for four. The Windies edge towards a lead. They could be 50 or 60 by the close. I wonder if England will have a nervous final day with the bat.

"There's been a huge amount of energy from the England fielders but the West Indies have played well. I thought it might spin more than it has but if anything the pitch has got better."

The problem with Anderson's plan is that if he gets it wrong, Bravo can free his arms to drive. That's exactly what happens, four down the ground. Jimmy's speed down below 80mph for that delivery too. The evening party just seems to be starting - plenty of horns and cheers. I bet there's a drink or two to be had as well. I bet a Friday night out in Grenada is goooood. Almost as good as a night in Hanley.

Oli: Cook's bowling choices: rfm, or rfm, or rfm, or rfm... And part time offy or part time offy. Captaincy is tough.

What you can accuse England of is a lack of variety. They have four right-arm medium-fast bowlers and two right-arm off-spinners. When the ball doesn't move in the air, they are very one (or maybe that should be two?) dimensional. Joe Root, who in all honesty is bowling with greater accuracy than Moeen Ali, ties Brathwaite up for another maiden.

Daniel: Team we think England aren't going to do it today so we've repaired to BB's Crabback in Grenada's St George harbour.

You can't say that England haven't stuck to their task, or that they are lacking skill/creativity. This plan of Anderson's, round the wicket to Bravo with the off side stacked, is both unusual and hard to execute. A master of accuracy, Jimmy continues to bowl on the same blade of grass, playing on Bravo's patience, which is holding. For now.

"England have to keep telling themselves that if you get one wicket, you can get two. They know that West Indies can self-destruct."

Remarkably, Kraigg Brathwaite hadn't faced a single delivery in the first four overs after tea, with Bravo hogging all the strike. Now, he faces Root from round the wicket, with three catchers for company. Root and his blond locks, shuffling in, all on the money. Brathwaite plods forward, presenting a face of the bat that is covered in red smears. A maiden.

"If there was one man in this match who you would have a few dollars on taking a chance like that, it would be Chris Jordan. It was an extraordinary shot."

Darren Bravo seems to fancy a bit of James Anderson and it almost costs him his wicket. The left-hander aims a huge drive at Anderson, the ball flying aerially to the right of mid-off, that fielding superman Chris Jordan. Jordan shimmies, then leaps goalkeeper-style, the ball just evading his right hand. This round-the-wicket stuff has produced a good contest between Anderson and Bravo, who won't want to be going aerial near Jordan too often.

Howard Horner: Brendon McCullum kept Dan Carter out of the South Island Schools rugby team in 1999. That's insanely impressive.

Root stays round the wicket, putting lots of shoulder into some low-arm, skiddy off-breaks. When he drops short, Bravo flirts past slip for four, notching his 10th half-century in Test cricket. He and Brathwaite are doing a fine job, their partnership worth 126. Which team is happier at the moment?

"That Anderson over was more threatening than the whole of the afternoon session."

James Anderson, the big dog in England's yard, shares the evening attack. Interesting field - a slip, two gullies and a couple of catchers on the off side. The unorthodoxy may have just inside Darren Bravo's head. Off-stump line from round the wicket, one play and miss with a flash that falls short of the gullies. I remember Anderson employing a similar tactic to Kumar Sangakkara with some success at Lord's last year. Good stuff, the first sign of danger in a long time.

Ian: Picking Stokes and Jordan doesn't make sense to me. They both offer OK batting and bowling. Why not exchange one for the aggression of Plunkett or wiliness of Rashid?

Joe Root may be a very capable bowler, but it's a sign of where England are in this game when he begins the bowling this session. Some turn for Joe, beating Bravo, causing the bowler to give a little dance. Let's say the Windies draw level for the loss of only one wicket - would they be on top?

"With Jordan batting at nine, England should no worries about their batting. They could play anything, something different. Instead, it's a very stereotype attack."
