    It's a great declaration if England win, of course.

    Stuart Broad to duly partner James Anderson from the other end.

    What a great, bold declaration from Joe Root. He is trying to stamp his authority on the team here. Root knows the last two captains have been heavily criticised by the press for being too conservative with declarations.

  3. WI 3-0published at 1 over

    Brathwaite 3, Powell 0

    Oooshk. Anderson takes out his frustrations for that first ball with a peach that just leaves Powell, who slightly hangs the bat out there.

    Jaffa! Even better from Anderson, finding his line and length to the left-hander straight away.

    A muted appeal as the Burnley quick gets one through onto the thigh pad.

    Bit short as Powell is easily able to get in behind. A leave to finish. Cracking contest this.

    West Indies need to graft, bat solidly and then let Jermaine Blackwood play his shots tomorrow afternoon. Show him videos of Headingley 1981 tonight in the team hotel.

    Target 322

    Positive start from Brathwaite - a short ball from Anderson that the Windies opener rides well and cuts away for three.

    West Indies have enough time to win this, mind. They'll need a couple of knocks of the same or better class as Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope in the first innings, though.

    First step is just to get through to the close unscathed.

    Here comes Brathwaite and opening partner Kieran Powell.

    James Anderson has the new ball in hand. Here we go...

    David Beckett: This is the highest score by an England Test team without a century ever. Impressive stuff considering the pressure yesterday.

    I'm sure Stuart Law will be pleased with the improvement shown by his side this week but if you want to improve quickly, you need to be ruthless.

    After Moeen swung the game in England's favour, his partner Chris Woakes went on to reach his half-century in an entertaining innings...

    "Oh Jimmy, Jimmy," rings around Headingley.

    He may be Lancastrian but he'll have the Yorkshire crowd in full voice, willing him to make early inroads into this West Indies order.

    Anderson is on 497 Test wicket, remember. He surely couldn't get to 500 by the end of play, could he?

    It's a show of confidence for England to declare considering the position they've been in this match.

  12. Postpublished at 17:50 British Summer Time 28 August 2017

    So West Indies will have to negotiate six overs from England before the close today.

    A rested James Anderson lies in wait.

    Stand by for a belting end to this tense day.

    Lead by 321

    Woakes picks up another before a leg bye brings him back on strike.

    Good running as Woakes adds two to the total with a clip to long on.

    He wafts at the last ball of the over from Holder.

    And there's the declaration! England set West Indies 322 to win.

    A nasty little spell for the Windies openers to face this evening.

    Sarmad Jawad‏: Why don't we just open the batting with Woakes?

    Woakes is having serious fun out there now.

    A half-volley from Holder is clattered away through the covers for a second straight boundary.

    Woakes is having fun out there now, picking up a short ball from Holder quickly and pulling it away for four.

    Lovely, controlled shot all along the ground.

    It's been a really good display from Chris Woakes. He's rock solid, has a great technique and he was the perfect foil for Moeen Ali.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Woakespublished at 139.5 overs

    Eng 478-8

    Woakes defends four deliveries but pushes the fifth down to long off to reach his third Test fifty.

    Super innings, at first in support of Moeen, and then managing the game expertly since the number eight departed.

    Woakes averages 31 in Tests. A number nine averaging that, remarkable. Top work with the bat on his return to the side.

    I think England will bowl tonight. Maybe have two or three at them before the close.

  20. Eng 477-8published at 139 overs

    Lead by 308

    Woakes guides a short ball down to third man to move onto 49.

    "Told you Woakes would get at least 20," says Matt next to me, pleased that one of his predictions today hasn't been instantly shot down.

    Broad just about fends off a direct short ball to finish.
