  2. Here's that lbw scare for Dom Sibley from a couple of overs ago...

  3. Eng 204-3

    Sibley 83, Stokes 59

    The ball is still swinging despite it being 79 overs old. West Indies can change for a new one in an over's time if they want to.

    Stokes leaves the ball again. This final half hour would be testing the resolve of the spectators if there was anyone in the ground.

    Looking at the way the pitch is behaving, bowling last might not be too bad.

  5. Or a Vince?

    Darren Wiseman: Would a girl or boyfriend that you dump and keep going back to be called a Hick? Or maybe a Ramprakash?

  7. Eng 203-3

    Sibley 82, Stokes 59

    Jason Holder nags away and tests Ben Stokes' patience for another over. It's like a child, prodding you over and over again for attention. Will Stokes snap?

  8. Watch Today at the Test

    Play might still be going on, but Today at the Test on BBC Two has already started. You can watch it here.

  9. Dom Sibley has batted all day. He has faced 241 balls. This was his fourth four...

  10. Eng 203-3

    Sibley 82, Stokes 59

    And a game-changing moment from an unlikely figure is a 'Pratt'.

    I'm going to give praise to Kemar Roach. He's had very little luck but is still plugging away and finding some swing.

  12. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That is a 7:05pm review...

  13. Not out

    Sibley survives. The ball-tracking has the ball just clipping the top of the bails.

    Not out.

  14. It's straight but height will be an issue for West Indies. It has hit Sibley on the flap of the pad. He is deep in his crease though...

  15. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    It looked straight, I just wonder about height.

  16. West Indies review

    Now then. Dom Sibley's heart goes into his mouth.

    He's given not out after being hit on the pad but West Indies review.

  17. Eng 202-3

    England will be mighty pleased if these two can get to the close. The partnership is now worth 121.

    Surely a 'Leeds' is to throw something away from a seemingly secure position but maybe that will have to change this year.

    I reckon the light is better than any other time during the day. We're going all the way to 19:30 BST here.

  19. Eng 200-3

    There are eight overs to go in the day.
