    The umpires are still out in the middle but the chances of play resuming are getting slimmer and slimmer.

    Don't forget about the highlights on BBC Two tonight at 19:00 BST. It'll be painful viewing at times for England fans but still worth it to see some fine bowling from West Indies.

    Mark is not happy but does this stat suggest England have been a bit unlucky?

    I'd argue if England had have pitched the ball up a few of those false shots would have been nicks.

    Mark Burt: So far England haven’t got much right. Wrong team, wrong toss decision and wrong lengths. Hard to see a winner beyond the West Indies.

    With the three DRS reviews, it has taken the pressure off the captains. With two reviews, you feel they are really precious.

    West Indies captain Jason Holder ,who took 6-42, on Sky Sports: "It felt good. I still felt really good leading up to the first Test. I was able to get a nice rhythm, and get some wickets.

    "The ankle is a little store, a little stiff, but nothing I didn't expect. I need to stay on top of my pre-hab work and recovery."

    On the changes he has made in recent years: "My patience has definitely increased. Before I was trying to bowl too many deliveries in one spell.

    "I look at consistency, and patience was one of the things I was lacking. Using the crease is something I strive to do - and using the angles at the point of delivery. When you're not as quick as some people, you've got to be skilful."

    Jason Holder is next up in the interview chair on Sky. He says again he definitely wouldn't have batted first had West Indies won the toss.

    Charlie: There isn’t much international sport going on right now, cricket had an amazing opportunity here to attract new audience members. All this going off for light, when there does not appear to be any safety issue, is not helping.

    It's fair to say you're frustrated by these bad light stoppages too.

    Paul Carney: GET BACK OUT THERE!

  10. Postpublished at 18:01 British Summer Time 9 July 2020

    With the weather set to improve tomorrow England would love to get back out there in the gloom tonight.

    The umpires are still out there in the middle so this isn't terminal yet.

    It doesn't make it any less frustrating.

  11. Highlights of West Indies innings so farpublished at 17:58 British Summer Time 9 July 2020

    England got there in the end with the wicket of John Campbell but they still haven't got as many wickets as they'd have liked in that short session.

    If that is the last cricket we see today that is will have been been a day dominated by West Indies.

    I don't know what the right thing to do is. It's always been a part of cricket, bad light stopping play.

    I wonder if that might be it. We have to be playing by 19:00 BST for us to play until 19:30.

  15. Bad light stops play - WI 57-1published at 17:52 British Summer Time 9 July 2020

    Wood bowls another quick delivery, Brathwaite wafts but then umpires swoop in.

    They deem it has got too dark to play on.

    The umpires are fiddling with their light meters with Mark Wood bowling thunderbolts.

    With Mark Wood you're seeing a player with a lot of talent and he's now believing he is an England bowler.

    Brathwaite 20, Hope 2

    The England bowlers seem to be using sweat off their backs to try and shine the ball. Not the most pleasant sentence I'll every write but these are new times.

    Stokes bangs away, again a bit short, and Brathwaite defends all six.

    England made it to 48-1 in their innings and then subsided so it can change quickly.
