Sibley 78, Stokes 57
Jason Holder is just hanging the ball outside Ben Stokes' off stump. It's limiting the scoring but it's not doing much for viewing figures.
West Indies will be happy for the close.

Poor Shane.
It's no surprise he hasn't gone into umpiring after his international career.

Kemar Roach still can't find a wicket in this series. Can any of the hospitality staff at the Ageas Bowl tell us if he broke a mirror in his room during the last Test?

Don't bowl there to Ben Stokes...

That one made me chuckle, Mike, I must admit.
The England batsmen take a drink. Play can go on until 19:30 BST but we might not get there with the light.

And a 'Boult' will forever be standing on the boundary edge when taking a catch. Poor Trent.
Jason Holder brings back some calmness to proceedings with a tidy, accurate maiden.

Also in cricket, an "England" is the microscopic but crucial margin by which you win a World Cup.

One of the greats, that. What was he thinking?!
Three more to Stokes from the end of the over. That's 13 in total. This is a slow outfield too.
Stokes is kicking into gear.

England are getting some bonus runs late in the day. First Dom Sibley drives - yes Dom Sibley drives - for three before Stokes tickles four down to fine leg.
This is turning into a pretty good day for the hosts.

A good one, Josh. Keep them coming.
Gabriel has just bowled another big wide which was this time taken by the wicketkeeper, tumbling across towards Jason Holder's boots.
Not quite a full 'Harmison'. A 'Johnson', perhaps?
