Musical too - played the piano and the spoons!

    Like a disobedient puppy, West Indies just won't roll over. Brathwaite inches closer to his half-century with a single to cover.

    Paul Dickson: David Acfield, almost legendary Essex off spinner, won a fencing gold medal at the 1970 Commonwealth Games.

    Well, this has been a chastening session for England - at lunch it was all gravy, but the West Indies have fought back well, and will be beginning to entertain faint thoughts of setting England a stiff fourth-innings target. Bravo adds two through midwicket - can these two get through to tea?

    Liam Morgan: Are England and Australia the only two countries who sell out Test cricket arenas? Seems everyone else stays at home.

    Moeen Ali, still searching for rhythm, like a ballroom dancer vainly trying to bust some shapes at an acid house rave. The West Indian batsmen, having negotiated that mini run-drought well, milk three singles.

    Tom in Manchester: There can't have been many better than Max Woosnam. He captained the Manchester City and England football sides, has an Olympic Gold medal for tennis, scored a century for a public schools XI at Lord's against the MCC, made a 147 break in snooker and beat Charlie Chaplin at table tennis with a bread knife! Not a bad list of achievements.

    The runs have dried up for the West Indian batsmen since they slaked their thirst at the drinks break, but Jordan finally releases the pressure with a short wide delivery which Brathwaite uppercuts over backward point for four.

    David in Spain: Willie Watson (Sunderland and England) (Yorks and England) springs to mind as a double international. And the BBC's brightly remembered Trevor Bailey played football - for Corinthian Casuals, I think.

    Moeen Ali, looking to keep England's foot on the West Indies throat here. Brathwaite loosens the stranglehold ever so slightly with a single to extra cover.

    Nigel: Ali & Jordan are wholehearted cricketers but Test match bowlers they are not. Please tell me how these two are a better option than Plunkett, Rashid or Woods?

    The pressure almost tells when Darren Bravo tries a big shot to the first ball of Jordan's over, but it's not timed, and fielded sharply at extra cover. Bravo plays out a fourth maiden - will the naturally fluent left-hander be getting a bit anxious?

    "It's made for someone to try right-arm round the wicket, cutters. We're wondering why Joe Root hasn't had a bowl."

    Mo Ali, mo' dot balls. Six of them, to be precise - three maidens in a row now.

    Chris Jordan really does have a magnificently well-developed fast bowler's backside - there's a man who doesn't have to borrow a sofa cushion to attend a Kim Kardashian-themed fancy-dress party. Bravo defends stoutly for another maiden.

    Will in Notts: Regarding the multi talented CB Fry, I believe he was once offered the throne on Albania. Has any other cricketer been offered the crown of a small country?

  18. WI 79-1 (Brathwaite 41, Bravo 36)published at 19:00 British Summer Time 24 April 2015

    Brathwaite nearly tumbles into the trap - flighted from Moeen and the batsman mistimes his drive just past the man at short midwicket. Nearly, nearly.

    "India is a great example. 1 billion people, everyone nuts about the game. T20 is on, the grounds are all full - men, women and children, loving every minute. At the Tests, the grounds are empty."

  20. WI 79-1published at 18:57 British Summer Time 24 April 2015

    Will drinks break the impressive concentration of this West Indies duo? "Bang bang, lads," shouts Jos Buttler, anticipating the morale-boosting effect of two wickets in quick succession. Jordan replaces Stokes - one wholehearted all-rounder for another - and Brathwaite keeps the score ticking with another four past point.
