  1. WI 52-4 (Chanderpaul 16, Blackwood 8)

    Blackwood opens his account with two nonchalant flicks to the boundary through the leg-side when Anderson is for once off his intended target.

    Mike France: Why do so many batsmen open the face of the bat? I read that Bradman played with the bat face slightly closed.

    Phil Coulson: 257 is not looking as bad a score as it did one-and-a-half hours ago. Windies' batting is as awful as Jimmy is good.

  3. WI 44-4 (Moeen 1-8 from 4)

    Chanderpaul, who is facing mid-wicket with his crab-like stance as the bowler approaches, picks up a four to fine-leg when Moeen strays down the leg-side. All the fours on the scoreboard and thoughts turn to the late, great umpire, dear old David Shepherd.

  4. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "Par for the course for Jermaine Blackwood in this series has been 15 balls of resolute defence, then a wild hack over the top."

  5. WI 38-4 (Chanderpaul 10, Blackwood 0)

    So, the seventh wicket of the day has gone and not surprisingly Jimmy Anderson is back in the attack looking for another. Shiv Chanderpaul once batted for 675 minutes for 136 not out against India and he's going to have to dig in again. Three slips and a gully await an edge but the 40-year-old keeps him out, pinching a single from the final ball of the over.

    "Brilliant from Moeen, a bit quicker, slightly straighter, just forcing Bravo to play."

    "Moeen has started superbly after lunch, right on the money. It seemed to be coming, West Indies in real trouble now."

  8. WICKET

    Welcome back for the afternoon session and it is an immediate breakthrough for England. Not the most convincing of strokes off the back foot, and it flies to slip where the safe hands of Chris Jordan make no mistake with the low chance.

    David townend: So Root is on 13th over to bowl as second spinner! Rashid should have played with Jordan or Stokes dropped.

  11. Well, what a session. Wickets tumbled as England subsided to a disappointing total, but the tourists came roaring back into contention thanks to inspired spell from - who else? - Jimmy Anderson. England have their noses in front, you'd say, but after lunch they'll have to dislodge arguably the West Indies' best two batsmen in Darren Bravo and Shiv Chanderpaul.

    "It's in England's favour so far, not by a long way maybe. Jerome Taylor bowled some really good balls and England's tail got knocked over. But Anderson bowled some gorgeous deliveries, he swung it and got Samuels with wonderful, classy swing bowling. If England had really good spinners I think they would knock West Indies over easily. If Derek Underwood was bowling they wouldn't get a run."

  14. WI 37-3

    Joe Root to bowl the last over before lunch. Chanderpaul bludgeons an awful drag-down to the fence, and he and Bravo have survived through to lunch.

  15. WI 33-3 (Bravo 9, Chanderpaul 5)

    Moeen hustles through a maiden, which means we'll have time for one more before lunch.

    David townend: Can we clone Jimmy Anderson 4 times? He is a different class to everyone else with his bowling. What a spell.

  17. WI 33-3

    Off-spin from both ends as the fresh-faced destroyer Joe Root enters the fray. Cries of 'Catch it!' at Chanderpaul prods forward and the ball flies just wide of Alastair Cook at short extra-cover. West Indies walking on hot coals here.

    "Neither side has a great spinner, all of them give easy runs away."

  19. WI 25-3 (Bravo 9, Chanderpaul 3)

    Time for a bit of spin before lunch. Moeen gets a twirl, and immediately it's turning for the spinner, spitting out of the footholes like fat from a hot pan of sausages. Bravo misses a couple and then picks up two into the covers.

    Stan: Sir Jimmy Anderson has a lovely ring to it...

    Ben Lenyk: Jimmy has been England's best player for ages. Without him, where would they be and what happens when he can't do it anymore?

    Ben Thapa: Much neglected aspect of Jimmy's bowling - in rhythm bowls quicker - up to 90mph here - and ball swings later. Subtle, but key.
