    Ed Smith is having a socially distanced chat with Chris Silverwood in the stands.

    He's added a baseball cap to his white trousers, blue blazer, blue shirt and dark sunglasses look.

    It's very New York celeb on their way out for a bagel while trying to hide from the paparazzi.

    Lovely pose afterwards from Joseph. It was a cracking shot. He gambled it was going to be full. .

  3. WI 291-7published at 96 overs

    Lead by 87

    Wood goes for the bluff with a yorker after bringing in a catcher on the leg side.

    He follows that with another full ball and out of nowhere young Alzarri Joseph drives in the air through mid-off. He holds the pose too. A lovely bit of swagger from the tailender.

    Sean West: Jofra did well to Holder on to that one!

    Jack Olsburgh: First thing Archer has really contributed to this game...

  5. WI 287-7published at 95.4 overs

    England are bowling a lot of short stuff again now. In fairness, this second new ball hasn't really swung and when they pitched it up it was whacked.

    Maybe it's a sign of how this match will go in the second innings.

    Ben Stokes is showing his frustration because he beat Joseph for pace. If he had been just a little bit closer, he had a golden opportunity.

    Lead by 78

    Despite the wicket Stokes ends the over with his face covered by his hand in frustration when the ball flicks Alzarri Joseph's pad and runs for four leg byes.

    West Indies won't care how they build this lead.

    Both sides will take a lead of 100 - I know that sounds silly.

    England have to bat better in their second innings.

    I'm not sure it's possible for Archer to drop a catch, his hands are that big.

    Now, can England blow away the tail? Alzarri Joseph joins Dowrich in the middle.

    That seemed to take forever to get to Archer. He took a comfortable catch in the end, he got there quickly.

    This is a fantastic battle, Holder removing Stokes in the first innings and Stokes now getting his opposite number.

    Holder c Archer b Stokes 5 (WI 281-7)

    What was I saying?

    Ben Stokes strikes back in the battle of the all-rounder captains. Holder takes on a bouncer but it gets big, even on him. The shots ends up being a bit top-edgy and Jofra Archer takes the catch down at fine leg.

    Not so composed from Holder.

  13. WI 281-6published at 94 overs

    You all love a limerick, don't you? I'm impressed.

    Wood finds Holder's pad and there is a stifled appeal but that would have gone down the leg side.

    The West Indies captain has looked composed so far. The West Indies' lead grows further.

    Broad was replaced by Mark Wood, He tried as hard as he could, So who would be best, To play the next Test, I wonder if maybe they both should.

    The players have been having a drink. There is still a long way to go in the session - another 25 overs. We can play up until 19:00 BST.

    I wonder if Ben Stokes is one for rallying speeches.

  16. Dowrich's innings highlightspublished at 17:22 British Summer Time 10 July 2020

    Dowrich has 50 from 91 balls with seven fours. It's his ninth Test fifty.

    He did offer one tough chance.

    We can use every excuse in the book to give them an excuse for failure but don't forget how poorly England batted. Yes, there were some good balls but there were also a number of quite soft dismissals.

    Well batted, Shane Dowrich.

    It has been nothing flash but crucial for his team.

    I feel like clapping from my living room because I feel sorry for the lack of applause he's getting at the empty ground.

    England are under pressure. This is going to be a big partnership for West Indies. If they can get to 50 then the lead will be well over 100.

    There's not many teams that have a 100-run lead in the first innings and lose.

    There'll be no more Anderson for a while, though. He's having a breather. Ben Stokes brings himself on again.

    It's time for round two in the battle of the world's great all-rounders.

    Holder won yesterday's battle...
