One thing is for certain either Jofra Archer or Mark Wood will come back for the next Test for England. The third Test is here at Old Trafford remember.

Another mixed bag from Dom Bess but this time he concedes just a couple.

This is the kind of pitch that's crying out for a 90mph bowler.

That's the fifty partnership up from 68 balls. It's the third successive fifty partnership for West Indies.

Stokes switches his line of attack as he continues with this aggressive approach. Brooks hops across and flicks him down to fine leg for a single. Good batting.

England's hopes of enforcing the follow-on are fading as this partnership passes 50.

Brooks has to be careful there. He completely took his eye off the ball.

WI 170-3published at 56.2 overs

Ben Stokes has had enough of this and is going to try and ruffle some feathers. Brooks tries to duck the second ball but he is clobbered on the back by Stokes' bouncer.

In the distance, I can see Jack Leach bowling in the nets. You wonder if England would quite like the option to sub him in.

Dom Bess is bowling himself out of the attack at the minute.

Bess has conceded 41 runs from 13 overs. It's not awful but he is offering very little control and isn't really threatening either.

Every time Bess tries to get the ball out there, he goes a little full. He's not got the right field for that. There's too many vacant spots on the off side.

Shamarh Brooks is playing like peak Kevin Pietersen here. A few off the pads and now a crunching off drive off the spinner with plenty of wrist.

He's into the thirties in no time.

Oh, Shamarh Brooks! What a knock this has been. A 30-ball highlights reel. He whips Ben Stokes off his pads and the ball is thudding into the advertising boards before you can say 'fetch!'.

Ben Stokes was so close to taking a wicket with his very first ball of the day...

Bess needs to group a set of six balls together in the same place. He's too easy to pick off at the moment.

Shamarh Brooks is dealing almost exclusively in boundaries. He moves to 18 with a fourth four. It was a gift from Bess. Way too full. Those were the issues Phil Tufnell was talking about at lunch...

Sam Curran's fine spell, which included the wicket of Shai Hope, is over.

Spinner Dom Bess returns.

Stokes bangs away showing more aggression than we have seen from the other bowlers. Brathwaite goes for a pull but misses.

Chris Baldwin: Bat for Ashes.

Sam Curran is bowling a fine spell. He zips one back off the pitch and it goes between Shamarh Brooks' bat and pad. It very nearly bowled him.

Curran puts his hands onto his head before sweeping his hair back from over his headband.

Brooks edges the final ball of Curran's over too. It runs for four through gully.
