  1. WI 142-4 (target 192)published at 21:58 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Stuart Broad is so often the lightning rod for criticism in this England side - can he be the hero? The camera picks out Peter Moores on the balcony - ashen-faced, no doubt thinking of the tough questions that will be coming his way if England throw away a series win here. Broad keeps Blackwood honest with a maiden.

    "These two young batsmen have to stay there and keep communicating with each other. Keep telling each other to keep their heads and focus."

    Nothing is going England's way here. Cook takes a man out of the slip cordon to station him on the drive, and with crushing inevitability, Bravo gets a thick outside edge to Anderson that flies, almost mockingly, straight through the vacated area and away for four. Just 50 needed for West Indies now.

    Matt Clough: If Moeen was selected over Rashid on bowling merit, what was Rashid bowling in the nets?

  5. WI 137-4 (Bravo 52, Blackwood 28)published at 21:47 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    England are desperate, desperate for a breakthrough here. Their hopes of a series win are slipping away from them. West Indies should get over the line from here, but they're not used to winning Test matches - the crawl towards that winning post will be an agonising one, especially if they lose a couple more wickets. Blackwood shaves another run off the deficit when he squeezes out a Broad yorker for a single.

    "You can feel both sides of the crowd living every minute of this game. This has been an outstanding Test match."

  7. WI 136-4 (target 192)published at 21:43 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    James Anderson returns to the attack with only 59 runs needed for West Indies. Is this Cap'n Cook's last throw of the dice? Even Jimmy can't shut off the taps though, with Blackwood adding three to the total with a dab through gully and a single to cover.

    "England need at least two wickets this evening. If they don't get them it will be even harder for them tomorrow."

  9. 50 for Bravopublished at 21:37 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    He's got six centuries, but I'd venture this is one of the best knocks of Darren Bravo's Test career. He brings up his fifty with a four through backward point: a gritty, disciplined, talismanic knock from the Trinidadian. Another big over for the West Indies, nine off it.

    Craig in Edinburgh: I think England will get them nine down and find themselves about 20-30 runs short and will be kicking themselves if they end up drawing the series.

  11. WI 124-4 (Bravo 46, Blackwood 21)published at 21:32 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Bravo continues to creep towards what would be a highly impressive half-century with a drive through mid-off for two and a single through square. Blackwood then picks up three with a steer through backward point, Stokes leaking like an old pair of wellies.

    Rob Porter: If England go on to lose this they have no one to blame but themselves. Desperately poor batting and not enough bowling depth.

  13. WI 118-4 (target 192)published at 21:26 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Drinks are over, and just the like the bucking bronco's would-be conquerors, the batsmen have to get back on the horse. Stuart Broad, England's stand-out bowler today, has the ball. Bravo gets going again with a single to fine leg.

  15. Drinks breakpublished at 21:20 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Oblivious to the tension enveloping the Kensington Oval, refreshed punters enjoy themselves on the bucking bronco in the stands. The bronco has thrown off a few victims in the last few minutes, but England's bowlers are struggling to throw West Indies off their stride here. Bravo adds a single, and it's time for drinks.

    "I think the next 30 runs are pretty important. If West Indies get to 150 they can start counting down then."

  18. WI 116-4 (Bravo 41, Blackwood 18)published at 21:14 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    The tension is mounting here. Jordan wants a caught behind against Blackwood, but Billy Bowden says no, and England have no reviews left.

    "That stumping chance was a big miss (see 20:28). It was straightforward and the ball bounced at a normal height. Buttler had a long time to see it - and that could have been the end of Blackwood."

  20. WI 116-4 (target 192)published at 21:09 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Moeen is dragged out of the attack after a couple of profligate overs, and Ben Stokes, who has plenty of gas and a bit of a wicket-taking knack but can leak runs, is on for his first bowl. His first ball is brilliantly punched off the back foot by Bravo - an upright, almost reproachful shot, shades of Lara. It even beats Chris Jordan to the cover boundary. England need a wicket here...
