    West Indies keep chipping away - Blackwood works Anderson to long leg for two, then adds a single wide of cover.

    "I like the field from Alastair Cook, he's kind of saying to Blackwood 'ok hit the ball over the top'."

  3. WI 84-4 (Bravo 27, Blackwood 1)published at 20:21 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Bravo tucks Root behind square for one, before Blackwood gets off the mark with a nudge to backward point.

    Rich in Leeds: England deserve to lose this Test. Spineless team with cowardly selection partly to blame. England need rid of Moores.

  5. WI 82-4 (target 192)published at 20:18 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    There are new heroes waiting to be made here for West Indies if they can seize their opportunity: Jermaine Blackwood could be one, Jason Holder might be another candidate. But it's a real test of mettle for this inexperienced lower-middle order. Blackwood plays out a dogged maiden against Anderson, following a leg-bye.

  7. WI 81-4 (Root 5-3-11-0)published at 20:15 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    A chorus of 'Jerusalem' ringing out around the stands - England's fans believe their side are in the ascendancy here. Bravo pulls Root in front of square and only narrowly evades the leaping Stokes at cover.

    Kyle Waite: Chanderpaul was the wicket. Definitely backing England now.

  9. WI 80-4 (Bravo 25, Blackwood 0)published at 20:11 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Jermaine Blackwood is the new man - a batsman with only two gears: first and warp-speed. He resists the urge to throttle up for the moment, and plays out five respectful dots to Anderson.

    "If that is his last innings it's a horrible way to end for Chanderpaul, who has given so much loyal service."

    The pendulum swings again! The limpet is prised out, and it's a real freebie for England. A loosener for Anderson, well outside off, and Chanderpaul, shuffling across with that idiosyncratic stance, somehow manages to deflect it on to his stumps. Is that the end of one of the great Test careers?

  12. WI 80-3 (target 192)published at 20:04 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    And Bravo pumps Root's first ball back over his head for six! What a statement of intent. And then he hammers him through the covers for four for good measure. Bravo out of the traps like a whippet after tea, the cucumber sarnies clearly not weighing him down.

    Right, here we go again. Root to bowl to Bravo...

  14. What next for England?published at 19:56 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    There's little rest for England's players who will be heading home to prepare for a two-Test series against New Zealand, starting on 21 May at Lord's, plus five one-day matches and a Twenty20 international.

    Then there's the big one: the Ashes and a certain Mitchell Johnson. That five-match series gets under way in Cardiff on 8 July.

    A magnificent session of cricket, and an enthralling, finely poised Test match. West Indies have taken a significant chunk out of that target, scoring freely at times during the afternoon, but England have given themselves a huge sniff with three wickets.

    122 more runs needed for West Indies, seven wickets needed for England to win the series. The only certainty is that as we creep closer to a result, this match is going to get very, very nervy...

    "Wonderful cricket, both teams are still in it. They'll both be thinking they can win. Great game of cricket. I thought England have stuck at it really well and the good thing is the spinners have bowled really well so the captain has been able to gain control."

  19. Ouch!published at 19:43 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Stuart Broad rattles Chanderpaul with a sharp bouncer which gets through the batsman's attempted pull and strikes him on the shoulder. That sends the Crab back into his shell and he blocks out the rest of the over. That is tea, with this match right in the balance.
