    A lot of throwing at the stumps going on at the moment but no hitting. West Indies are just stealing these runs.

  2. WI 185-5published at 60 overs

    Blackwood 91, Holder 10

    It's tip and run from the West Indies. It only takes Holder three strides to cover the 22 yards to be fair and Blackwood is quick.

    Rory Burns hurls at the stumps. It would have been close but I think this run was well-judged.

    Just 15 more needed now.

    Yep, plaudits to all - ECB, Ageas Bowl and the teams for putting on and delivering such a great match in challenging circumstances. The teams have been magnificent considering how strange it must be with hardly any atmosphere! Cricket is back!

    Target 200

    Blackwood takes it into the teens with another single into the deep. The camera pans to the lonely-looking Dom Bess. It doesn't look like Stokes is going to turn to his spinner.

    Both teams have handled the no crowd well, it's been a tremendous Test. I still think it's worked in West Indies favour. When they were 30-3 the crowd would have been loud and it would have got the adrenaline running if you were a West Indies batter.

    There's only two men who could do something here for me. Stokes or Archer.

    I'm not sure, Dave. It hasn't been a road but the pitch has just looked lifeless once the ball got old.

    Stokes won't stop trying to matter how much redder his cheeks get but it's another over without success.

    Dave: What was it that was so terrifying about the expected fifth day pitch here that required batting in the gloom on the first day?

    Target 200

    Good work from Dom Bess in the field to prevent a single. Stokes is giving everything but Holder looks composed.

    Pope kicks at the turf, Sibley with head in his hands, Stokes on his knees. We're talking millimetres between that taking the edge or not.

  11. WI 180-5published at 58 overs

    Target 200

    The body language of Anderson and England shows how frustrated they are when the ball beats Blackwood's edge again but they could have had him earlier.

    That dropped chance by Buttler looks so costly.

  12. WI 180-5published at 57.4 overs

    Will the century come into Jermaine Blackwood's mind? He has 89 and West Indies need 20 to win.

  13. WI 178-5published at 57.1 overs

    Back under way. Jimmy Anderson with the ball.

    West Indies need 22 to win.

    No matter who wins today, well done to everybody involved in putting this Test on safely in such challenging circumstances. It's been a fantastic contest, and yet another endorsement for this great form of the game. Cricket is well and truly back!!!

    Who saw this coming when West Indies were 27-3 earlier?

    Can England get Klopp on Zoom for a team talk?

    I would really like Blackwood to get a hundred. Everyone thought he would just come in and be crash, bang and wallop.

    It's such a shame there's no crowd in the ground to see this. Imagine the lift the home crowd would be giving Ben Stokes here.

    Chant from your living room, England fans. He might hear you.

    If you go short at Jason Holder, he normally latches on to it quickly, like he did there.
