  1. 'Under 150 would be good'

    West Indies captain Jason Holder: "Anything under 150 should be pretty good. We have got to push hard. If we can break this partnership early and get Stokes and Barstow that would be good for us."

  2. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    If I was a betting man, I'd be more inclined to back England from here. If they manage to get a three-figure lead, that type of buffer is perfect for the likes of Bairstow, Stokes and Moeen to push it on. But 220 isn't cut and dried for England - it only takes two players to get in and the West Indies could win. It's fascinating.

    West Indies will be uncomfortable chasing anything beyond 150. They got 400 in first innings but as we know fourth innings can be different.

    Simon Ratcliffe: Most interesting fourth morning of an English Test since Trent Bridge 2013? Shaping up to be a great Test match.

  5. Day three recap

    Some of you will have been out enjoying the bank holiday weekend sunshine yesterday and may have missed what was a thrilling day.

    It began with James Anderson taking two wickets with the first two balls before West Indies extended their first innings lead to 169.

    England started well in their reply with Mark Stoneman making 52 but he, Alastair Cook and Tom Westley fell with the hosts still well behind West Indies first innings total.

    That brought Joe Root and Dawid Malan to the crease and despite a few scares the pair batted through to the close with a stand of 77 and took England into the lead in the final over of the day.

  6. Morning everyone.

    This is as excited as I have been on the fourth morning of a Test match this summer.

    After three days on the back foot, England start today 171-3 - effectively 2-3 - with hopes of setting a challenging target for West Indies.

    The tourists have exceeded all expectations in this match and will know today they could set up, or in fact seal, a famous win.

    It should be a cracker.

  7. Good morning!

    This Test has been one of surprises.

    A surprise that West Indies bowled England out cheaply on day one.

    A surprise that two West Indies batsmen scored centuries as the tourists built a big first innings lead.

    Perhaps even a surprise that an England opener, other than Alastair Cook, made 50.

    But the biggest surprise of all is that we start day four with no finish line in sight...
