But the Durham all-rounder has also counter-attacked well, unfurling plenty of fine strokes and will look to rescue the England innings after tea.

England had hoped Bairstow might be able to settle in alongside Ben Stokes, who has led a charmed life at times in his innings...

We'll start at the end and a key moment in the match as we approached tea.
Jonny Bairstow playing with an angled bat to Shannon Gabriel, edging away as Jason Holder pulled off a fine catch down by his boots.
The Yorkshireman and his home crowd weren't sure it was out, but the third umpire made the right call, with Holder managing to wrap his fingers around it in time.

Let's have a video review of that session, yeah?

The main criticism of the Windies' bowling is actually their poor over rate - 50 overs in four hours is pretty dire, the extra half hour won't make up for that.

Agreed Aggers. A fascinating day so far - the West Indies quicks have certainly found a way of exploiting the flaws in this England batting order.
Joe Root looked good then got himself out, while Ben Stokes has been excellent attacking on the front foot, despite offering up a few chances.
Otherwise, it's been poor batting from England and much improved from Windies.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialThis is a really good day of Test cricket. It is good to see West Indies competitive.
Tea - Eng 156-6published at 50 overs
Stokes 45, Ali 3
Ben Stokes has made his runs at a fair lick but had his fair share of luck too.
The latest instance sees him top edge a loose shot up over the slip cordon - the ball bouncing well out of the grasp of the chasing fielder.
Moeen calmly sees out the next four balls before clipping the last off his pads for a couple.
And that's tea. West Indies' session again, those missed chances aside.

Graeme Swann
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThe wicket turns here these days. When I started it was a nightmare and never used to spin but now there is certainly some grip.

Roston Chase is on - the off-spinner trying to target the rough to the two left-handers.
Moeen Ali sees him off for a maiden.

Matt: Re: 15:23. Does that mean I can quietly suggest Steven Mullaney?
Haha. First person to suggest Billy Godleman gets a prize.

Moeen Ali enters the fray, leaves one, defends one and then gets off strike.
Dot to Stokes to finish. Another excellent over from Gabriel, proving what a loss he was for the first Test.

Mike Flint: That's out. Right call from 3rd umpire. Too often they overturn these catches when there's nothing conclusive.
BOOM!: Definitely grounded catch.
Who'd be an umpire?

Bairstow c Holder b Gabriel 2 (Eng 152-6)
The partisan crowd boo but that's the right decision by the upstairs umpire.
It's another top delivery from Gabriel, drawing Bairstow into a loose shot - the ball flying low to Holder's right and the Windies captain does well to get low enough to clasp his hands around it.
Bairstow the latest batsman to go at it with hard hands but play down the wrong line.
Wonderful for Windies, woeful for England.

It's a tricky one but it looks like Holder has got his fingers under it...

Umpire reviewpublished at 47.2 overs
It looks like Baristow has been caught in the slips off Gabriel...
The Yorkshireman isn't moving from the crease yet - he wants the umpires to check whether it did carry.
They go upstairs - soft signal is out.
Eng 152-5published at 47 overs
Good control from Bishoo, only conceding a single from the over as Bairstow tries to play himself in.

If we are looking for a right-handed, technically-sound, in-form runscorer who can play as an occasional second spinner then Joe Denly is the man.

Between text, #bbccricket on Twitter and my mates' WhatsApp thread, I reckon every England-qualified batsman in county cricket will be suggested as an option before the day is out.
