    "West Indies have picked up some runs without many hiccups but it can change quickly. You will get moments when it ebbs and flows. You have to keep positive. Some of the West Indies players are a bit flaky. They've not been tested like this."

  2. WI 110-4 (Jordan 10-4-24-1)published at 21:04 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Every single boundary save, every single missed shot, every single drag-down could be the difference between victory and defeat here. Ben Stokes saves three potentially priceless runs with a great stop at point.

    "If England could get a wicket I feel Stuart Broad will come straight on and he could run through three or four the way he's bowling."

  4. WI 109-4 (Bravo 34, Blackwood 18)published at 21:00 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    West Indies are just beginning to edge back into the ascendancy. Moeen just can't keep the ball on a good area, he drags one down and Blackwood sends a huge slog-sweep into the stands at deep midwicket.

  6. WI 102-4 (target 192)published at 20:55 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Jordan continues. Bravo, who's just looking to up the tempo here, gets a streaky under-edge that flies just past the stumps and is brilliantly stopped just short of the fine-leg boundary by Gary Ballance, then flicks Jordan away for a single. West Indies halfway there. Blackwood then turns it into a really good over for the hosts with a nudge down to the fine-leg boundary. Runs just beginning to flow here...

    James Standen: I thought Stokes was an all-rounder? So why have we not seen him in 41 overs?

  8. WI 95-4 (Moeen 8-1-21-1)published at 20:51 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Bravo dashes through for a sharp single, then Blackwood pulls a short delivery from Moeen to fine leg, where it's brilliantly saved by Broad. Such a premium on every run here.

    "I still think it's fairly even, another 100 runs is a lot to get on this pitch, especially with the way they are batting at the moment, it could take another 80 overs!"

  10. WI 92-4 (Bravo 28, Blackwood 7)published at 20:47 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Chris Jordan comes back into the attack. West Indies have scored just 22 runs from the last 17 overs, and 10 of those came from one set of six. Squeezed. Jordan keeps them under the pump with another maiden.

    "Good to see Moeen Ali back, he's not a had a great game with the ball, that lack of bowling over the winter beginning to tell."

  12. WI 92-4 (target 192)published at 20:42 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Moeen returns as shadows begin to encroach across the Kensington Oval. Can the sometimes erratic spinner keep it tight after a nagging spell from Joe Root? For the moment, the answer is yes: just a single to Blackwood from his latest over. 100 needed for the Windies.

    Lewis Powell: Anyone else hoping for the wettest summer ever... all five Ashes Tests washed out and England saved from a humiliating summer.

    Bravo plays out a maiden off Anderson. On we go.

    Jermaine Blackwood does a good job of affecting a responsible air most of the time, then surprises you with a moment of utter youthful impetuosity - the sort of man who could probably persuade you to leave him in charge of a sports car, or a box of firecrackers, and you'd only realise your mistake when you saw the inevitable puff of flames. He's back in responsible mode for the time being, jogging two off Root.

  19. Missed stumpingpublished at 20:28 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Ohhh, that's a huge let-off! Blackwood has a brain explosion and dances down the track to Root, misses completely, and Jos Buttler makes a hash of a simple stumping chance, a real cymbals-for-gloves moment. That really was a ridiculous shot given the circumstances, and the wicket-keeping wasn't much better.

    Ben: Chanderpaul. Whenever he was at the crease you thought the Windies had a chance. That's how important he was. A true great.
