    Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop: "He could do everything and I miss him dearly. He was a father-figure when I came into the commentary box. He had no ego and I loved listening to his stories."

    An interview with Tony Cozier is being played in between some of his commentary highlights and he says that everyone wanted to be TMS legend John Arlott when he was at school, while he learned from the likes of Brian Johnston and Australia's Alan McGilvray.

    TMS are now paying tribute to the voice of West Indies cricket for more than 50 years, Tony Cozier, in England's first tour of the islands since his death last May at the age of 75. We'll pick out some of the highlights for you.

    Here's the West Indies' bowling figures. Some ordinary stuff there but Jason Holder (3-41) and Alzarri Joseph (4-76) took seven of the eight wickets picked up the bowlers.

    87 added off the last 10 overs from England as seven wickets fell. So plenty to keep you entertained there. 

    Alex Hales (110) and Joe Root (101) the men who built that England total. Only Ben Stokes (34) went beyond 17 among the rest of the batsmen.

    It feels like it should have been a little more, but still...

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 328 all outpublished at 50 overs

    Plunkett run out 11

    Jason Holder's figures are being damaged here - Liam Plunkett spots the slower ball and smacks it down the ground for six. A single brings Finn on strike for the final ball - he heaves it to leg, Plunkett comes back for a second but his partner isn't interested and England are all out off the final ball of the innings.

    Here's last man Steven Finn, and he's greeted with a huge wide by Jason Holder. Finn then gets one off his toes and sees Liam Plunkett halfway up the wicket. Shai Hope throws, there's a chance of running out Finn at the non-strikers, but the ball is well off the mark. That gets Liam Plunkett back on strike.

    Good fielding by Brathwaite and bad calling from Liam Plunkett. The West Indies won't mind this at all, they've pulled the runaway train back. The English were looking at 350 or 360 earlier but the West Indies have slowed it down.

    Rashid run out (Holder) 9 (Eng 317-9)

    Dreadful calling from everyone involved as Adil Rashid turns and realises that Liam Plunkett isn't coming for the second. Rashid dives, but it's futile. That was an excellent throw from Kraigg Brathwaite in the deep and Jason Holder does the tidying up.

  11. 6 runs

    Eng 316-8published at 49 overs

    A single down to long-on from Rashid. England would have been thinking about 350 at one stage but now they are just picking up singles and trying to make sure they bat out their 50 overs. Hang on, scratch that - Rashid has just heaved Carlos Brathwaite over cow corner for a maximum!

  12. Eng 308-8published at 48.3 overs

    Plunkett 2, Rashid 2

    Ooh, that's nice from Carlos Brathwaite, beating Liam Plunkett all ends up with a nice length delivery. Plunkett responds by going on the charge, but he can only spear the ball away for a single.

  13. Eng 305-8published at 48 overs

    Jason Holder's figures are superb in the context of the match - 3-29 from nine overs. England have two new batsmen at the crease - Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid - which is far from ideal at this stage.

    That's beautiful from West Indies. They've pulled it back, you don't want it to get out of hand. They kept themselves out of the attack for far too long but they've come right back in to it. 

    It's a fighting challenge they'll feel proud of when they start batting.

    Stokes c K Brathwaite b Holder 34 (Eng 304-7)

    Two in two - and England have lost Ben Stokes. The batsmen had crossed on the previous ball, but England's most destructive batsman wasn't able to take advantage, looping one up for Kraigg Brathwaite.

    I think Jason Holder has bowled marvelously today. That was a good wicket for the West Indies, they will want Ben Stokes out but Chris Woakes is a good batter nonetheless.

    Woakes c Bishoo b Holder 13 (Eng 304-7)

    Chris Woakes gets up on tiptoes, trying to pull the ball up and over. Devendra Bishoo steadies himself, despite the wind, and dives to get two hands to the ball. This has been a pretty decent fightback from the West Indies.

    The West Indies need to make sure they can restrict England to 320, it's all about field placement. 

  19. Eng 302-6published at 47 overs

    Stokes 33, Woakes 12

    The 300 is up as Woakes steers it to deep cover for a couple. Two singles are added to make it 10 from the over. 

  20. Eng 299-6published at 46.3 overs

    A lovely drive from Chris Woakes brings a boundary and a big grin from Woakes as he punches gloves with his batting partner. Carlos Brathwaite responds with a slower delivery that goes horribly down the leg-side for a wide. Right idea, though.
