The England batsmen don't dare make a false move at the moment. Shannon Gabriel keeps Ballance and Bell stuck on 0.

"You don't know what's coming. All I can say is - don't buy a ticket for the final day, you'll be the only one here. There's some good cricket but some poor cricket too, making it interesting."

Patrick Jones: Listening to the cricket while on a train. Go through a tunnel and we lose two wickets!!!

Shouts of exasperation in the Windies slip cordon as Jerome Taylor narrowly beats the tentative forward push of Gary Ballance, then gets him to edge one that just dies before the fielders. This pitch is looking like a minefield at the moment. England pick up four byes when Taylor spears one down the leg side.

"This game could run away from England quickly if they don't get a hold of it."

Big breakthrough for West Indies, they're dragging themselves back into this match. Gabriel sends down a length ball outside off, it just straightens, inducing a hesitant poke from Alastair Cook, and Kraigg Brathwaite swallows it at second slip. England in a spot of bother.

James Whitmarsh: Probably a good thing Trott couldn't convert. Makes it easier for the selectors to drop him.

Merlyn: Trotty was the lynchpin in the most successful England side I have seen. Thank you for the memories Trotty.

"Jonathan Trott finishes the series with 72 runs an average of 12, 59 of them in one innings."

"That ball is pitching outside off-stump and he's trying to work it through mid-wicket. Here is a guy who has played really well for England. The crowd know the game, they've seen the way he's played but they know there is something missing."

There is to be no miracle return to form for Jonathan Trott. Full and straight from Taylor, pinning the shuffling Trott in front of the timbers. Trott, desperate, walks down the crease to consult with Alastair Cook, and the captain must have a heavy heart as he has to send his old comrade on his way. Surely that is the end of a distinguished England career.

Gabriel was, in my opinion, the standout quick for West Indies in the first innings, and he is on the money straight away here, firing down a probing maiden.

"The West Indies bowlers haven't had enough rest, their batsmen haven't done a good enough job for them. The seam bowling by England was excellent, the spin bowling by England was pathetic."

In contrast to Cook, who even during his barren runs has managed to radiate a certain amount of calm assurance at the crease, Trott is a nervous, fidgety, shuffly, scratchy presence at the crease, like a hermit crab on moving day. Everything about his technique seems to suggest impermanence. And yet during his pomp in Test cricket, he was capable of remaining at the crease for extraordinarily long periods of time, almost immovable. He crabs across his crease to work Taylor into the leg side for two.

Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Colin Croft and Joel Garner (below) formed a pretty mean fast bowling attack in the early 1980s, while Malcolm Marshall and Curtly Ambrose were equally formidable.

And don't forget the fearsome Wesley Hall, the original quick who set the standard for all the truly great bowlers who followed. But which one was the best?

Might be impossible to pick one, but that's your task in today's vote, which you can find in the tab on your mobile or on the right on your desktop screen.

"Trott would naturally be thinking it might be his last international innings. You know what's going to happen now, with all the pressure off he's going to bat magnificently and get a hundred."

Jonathan Trott is standing way back in his crease to Shannon Gabriel, desperately trying to counteract that fatal forward press which has been his downfall in this series. He hasn't quite rid himself of it yet, but he manages to play a waist-high delivery well enough, paddling it down to fine leg for a single.

Jay: England should open with Buttler and give him the license to go all native on the WI attack.

Cook survives the hat-trick ball and gets off the mark with a single to midwicket. Jonathan Trott avoids a pair with a clip off his legs for four. Truly, you would have to have a flint heart not to be willing Trott to make a score here...

Jerome Taylor will open the bowling, and let me remind you, he is on a hat-trick...

Jonathan Trott walks out to face the music. What must be going through his mind?
