    "Oohs" and "aahs" from West Indies as Dom Sibley almost gloves a leg-side ball from Joseph into the mittens of Dowrich behind the stumps.

    Sibley has a habit of getting out in that fashion. Although replays show it may have glanced his shirt as it runs through for four leg-byes.

    All of sudden England are looking a tad vulnerable.

    Found my father's cricket bag in his garage a while back. He hadn't got around to washing his socks after his last game fifty years ago.

    A wicket-maiden for Chase. But that was all England's doing, a gift there for West Indies.

    Joe Denly is the new man in. He needs a big score to save England and potentially his own Test career.

    It was short and wide. Burns was leaning back on the cut. He spooned it gently to backward point. You have to get your head over it and make sure you hit it down.

    He will be absolutely kicking himself.

    That was a strange dismissal. It felt like a ball to hit for four. It was an innocuous ball.

    Burns c Campbell b Chase 42 (Eng 72-1)

    Short and wide from Chase, it is there to be hit and Rory Burns cuts it straight to John Campbell at backward point.

    Rory Burns has looked so comfortable this morning and he will be extremely disappointed to be dismissed like that. Soft. A lapse in concentration. And not what England wanted or needed before lunch.

    This is now England's longest opening partnership since December 2016 in India.

    Or you could raid the mini-bar, Stephan. That would make the drone more bearable I'm sure.

    Sibley looks to glance Joseph down to fine leg and in doing so nearly edges it. Lucky.

    It's taken three and a bit days, but I've had enough of the buzz of the drone. I'm now looking around my hotel room for things that could take it down. Using a mini shampoo as a missile is one option.

    Joseph is a very classy bowler, looks the part but just needs to find that consistency.

    Meanwhile Chase adds to the maiden column in his bowling figures.

    England started off at a fairly quick pace this morning but have been patient and watchful for the second half of the session.

    We have 15 minutes until lunch.

    Joseph is a strange bowler. He obviously has bags of talent but needs to work on that stock delivery. He bowls one good one, one on the leg side, one on the off.

    Change in bowling as Alzarri Joseph comes into the attack. He bowled well at times in the first innings but was wicket-less. A bit inconsistent in this over as he struggles to find any real rhythm of note.

    Two runs from the over and England now trail the tourists by 43.

    Sibley got to the pitch beautifully.

    I would think Jason Holder will be getting a little bit twitchy.

    Gary Lineker will be mightily disappointed in you, Luke.

    Hurrah, a run. Even better, a boundary. Sibley shuffles down the pitch to Chase and whips him through mid-on for four.

    I once found a half-eaten pack of salt & vinegar in my bag. This was after not playing for eight years. Potent.

    Make that another maiden, Andy.

    We saw one from Holder which kept low earlier today and now there's one more, Sibley getting his bat down in time and not showing any lapses in concentration. He's defended well.

    There have been just three singles in the past eight overs. Five of the past six overs have been maidens.

    The sight of the physio running out wearing a mask, gloves and an apron takes some getting used to. It's like he's just been summoned from the kitchen.

    That's some list there, Hugo. I'll try and remember all of those items later, like the conveyor belt on Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game.

    Sibley has been seen by the doc and is fine to continue. Roston Chase sends down a maiden after that short stoppage. A better over from Chase.

    On the day of my annual game at Blenheim Palace I opened my kit bag to discover a year-old chicken and chorizo sandwich, mouldy cricket whites and two left feet cricket spikes.
