Three more to Sibley who is on the pull. This isn't just a flurry of runs. It's a full on blizzard for Sibbers.

Eng 238-3published at 98.4 overs
Ben Stokes fancies a quick single and gets halfway down the pitch before being sent back by Sibley. The West Indies fielders suddenly sense a chance of a run-out but Shannon Gabriel's throw is as wayward as his bowling. Shane Dowrich has to stretch high above his head and the chance is gone.

I still want to know what you're going to do remotely to acknowledge a century.
Two England batsmen are closing in.

Michelle Garland: Having a little clap as this partnership reaches 150. Anyone else clapping remotely?

Edged! Safe. It may not have carried off Ben Stokes' bat even if it had not gone into a gap.
The ball runs for four, taking the partnership over 150 and Stokes to 80. He's catching Sibley.

Sibley 90, Stokes 76
The grumbles about England's scoring rate are just starting to grow a little louder now on social media. There have been 23 runs in 70 minutes of play.
There is rain forecast for tomorrow so England won't want to run out of time to force a win.
What do you think?

Sibley 90, Stokes 75
Holder sprays a delivery down the leg side and Dom Sibley watches it go pinging through to Shane Dowrich.
Angry Shannon Gabriel is limbering up in the distance.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialHow would you describe the view we've got of Manchester right now, Simon?
Eng 229-3published at 95 overs
It seems there's going to be a game of cat and mouse here between Roach and Stokes. Roach is bowling full, swinging the ball away from round the wicket and trying to tempt Stokes.
Stokes leaves a couple and then walks calmly down the pitch, edging one along the ground.
England take the first hour but could very easily be classed as a 0-0.

Kemar Roach will share the new ball. He still hasn't taken a wicket in the series.
