    Jonny Bairstow. Bowled. You've seen it plenty of times before.

    This time it's off an inside edge, the England opener going for a booming drive but undone by the full length and swing from Sheldon Cottrell.

    Leg stump out of the ground and Cottrell spins to begin his trademark celebration.

    A few marching steps, a salute and a joyous raising of the arms. West Indies have the breakthrough.

  3. Eng 16-0published at 2.2 overs

    Jonny Bairstow is done for pace and bounce by a Sheldon Cottrell short ball but lofts it behind him off the glove and that's safe enough as it bounces away for four.

  5. Eng 12-0published at 2 overs

    If Jonny Bairstow had left that, it would've been a fourth straight wide for Jason Holder.

    As it is, the England opener fancies getting bat on ball and taps into the leg side for one.

    Yeesh. Holder gets his line right and beats Alex Hales' outside edge with a jaffa.

  6. Eng 11-0published at 1.3 overs

    Jason Holder is extracting a fair bit of bounce from the pitch, but is really struggling with his line and has flung three wides in a row down leg side.

  7. Eng 7-0published at 1.1 overs

    "Close that door!" yells Alex Hales.

    Another lengthy delay as stewards and supporters keep moving behind the bowler's arm.

    The West Indies players are wearing black armbands today in memory of Mr Tony Becca: an outstanding Jamaican journalist who covered West Indies cricket for 40 years.

  9. Eng 6-0published at 1 over

    Bairstow 5, Hales 0

    Cottrell seems happier with that sawdust applied to the pitch but still swings it down past Bairstow's legs to concede a wide.

    He then gets one through onto the thigh pad. No lbw shout as that was clearly going over.

    Bairstow then slices off a thick inside edge for one round the corner...where Oshane Thomas once again stops the ball with his boot before picking it up!

    So, so village. And actually a bit embarrassing to see an international cricketer incapable of fielding the ball with his hands.

    Sheldon Cottrell is already having issues with where his front foot lands. He's slipped both times on a grassy patch.

    So here comes a groundsman with a bucket of sawdust. He's sprinting over the outfield barefoot. Wonderful stuff.

  11. Eng 4-0published at 0.2 overs

    Again Sheldon Cottrell swings it down leg and Jonny Bairstow clips it uppishly very fine for four.

    It's four because Oshane Thomas can't stop the ball with his boot just before the rope, the burly fast bowler then jumping over the advertising hoarding just in time.

    Never a fan of cricketers - internationals especially - using their feet to try and field the ball.

  12. Eng 0-0published at 0.1 overs

    The left-handed Sheldon Cottrell finds a bit of shape but it curves down leg side.

    Not a wide though...it must've just flicked a bit of Jonny Bairstow's thigh pad.

    Right. The players are out there.

    Sheldon Cottrell to Jonny Bairstow first up.

    Here we go...

    The Johnson Charles stand. Dearie me.

    Johnson Charles has never played a Test for West Indies and averages 26.72 in ODIs.

    The benefits of being one of very few St Lucian international cricketers eh?

    As we've had in a few grounds on this tour so far, there's a stiff cross-breeze going across this ground. Anything hit towards the Johnson Charles stand will travel that little bit further.

    So maybe we won't get 400 plays nearly 400 today on this ground then?

    What odds will you give me for Moeen to find form by scoring a half century and taking 3 wickets, one of which will be Christopher Henry Gayle?

    It feels like every game is an important day for all the England pace bowlers with Jofra Archer in the background.

    Tough for Liam Plunkett to miss out. He bowled really well among the carnage on Wednesday with figures of 8-0-40-0. To go at just five an over in that match was a remarkable feat.

    It is an important day for Tom Curran with Jofra Archer in the background.
