    We can play until 10 o'clock tonight. Here's a scenario - if West Indies are bowled out in this innings, and then eight down in their follow-on, England could take the extra half an hour. We could be here until half past 10.

    On come the covers. Hopefully it'll pass through quickly - at the risk of sounding like my dad on a family holiday, it's starting to look a bit brighter...

    Where did that come from? I don't think it will last. As soon as the covers are on, they'll be taking them off again - we hope.

    WI 44-1

    Are you kidding me? James Anderson bowls one ball and the rain, right on cue, comes pouring down. Umpire Erasmus has a quick glance up at the sky before running - actual running - off the field. England follow as the groundstaff drag the covers on.

  6. West Indies still trail by a mammoth 470 runs, but Kyle Hope and Kieran Powell acquitted themselves well last night. It'll be James Anderson to bowl the first over of this morning.

  7. Jerusalem is belting out across a grey Edgbaston, which means we're just moments away from play starting. I'd chuck on an extra jumper or two if you're in the stands today. It's a breezy one.

  8. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    My message to this England team when you're playing this West Indies side: hammer them. Let's beat them inside four days and make sure we only bat once.

  9. 'It feels a bit plasticy'

    England bowler Stuart Broad, speaking on Sky Sports: "It felt like the ball was doing a little bit and it was coming out a bit harder. It was inconsistent in movement, so it was hard to get the line right, as some moved more than others. It doesn't shine - the red ball, if you get a mark on it, you can buff it out, but the pink ball doesn't seem to move. It looks really ugly when you're out there because you can't get a shiny side. It feels a bit plasticy, like an indoor ball."

  10. Weather watch

    That nasty looking shower in the early evening aside, we should get a full evening's play in.

  11. 'Anderson should be unofficial bowling coach'

    No-one has more experience in the England side than James Anderson and Michael Vaughan reckons England should start tapping into that wealth of knowledge.

    "What you require at this level is the type of coach that David Saker was - not a huge technical coach, it’s a mind coach," Vaughan said.

    "I’d be giving Jimmy Anderson a bit more responsibility because I see him and he bowls his over then goes and stands at mid on, mid off and he is in the bowlers ears all the time talking tactics, talking lengths.

    "Whether they announce it (as an official role) or not I’m not too sure, but privately I’d be having a word in his ear”.

  12. 'I knew my form would turn around'

    Dawid Malan had a pleasing day yesterday, scoring 65, although he was left to rue not pushing on and registering his first Test century.

    "I didn't look like scoring a run against South Africa," Malan, who scored 35 runs in four innings against the Proteas, said.

    "In the back of my mind, I knew it was going to turn around. It was a question of when that would happen.

    "It was nice to hit a few in the middle today, I feel a bit more composed at the crease."

    We've got your back. You can watch highlights below as England moved into cruise control against West Indies, before the rain set in.

    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    Test Match Special is currently live from Edgbaston - you can listen using the player at the top of the page, and our overseas listeners can listen by clicking here.

  16. We can sum up yesterday in two parts.

    Firstly, Alastair Cook merrily making his way to his fourth Test century, hitting 243 before England declared on 514-8.

    England took an early wicket but, in truth, they were wasteful with the new ball. They didn't quite find their lines and, as a result, Kieran Powell and debutant Kyle Hope were able to navigate their way through a testing period, before the rain set in.

  17. Afternoon! You well? We've got a bit of an earlier start today after the rain brought proceedings to an early close yesterday. That means we'll be starting at 13:30 BST. However, the timings are still the same for the rest of the day...

    • First session: 13:30 BST to 16:00
    • Lunch (dinner!): 16:00 to 16:40
    • Second session: 16:40 to 18:40
    • Tea: 18:40 to 19:00
    • Third session: 19:00 to 21:00

    Play can go on until 22:00.

  18. Let's hope for a bit less of this...
