Pope would likely make it into our boy band. I'm not sure what instrument he would play. Suggestions welcome.
Your potential band names have kept us entertained...

To be fair this was a very good catch from Ollie Pope...

England failing to take chances is becoming a theme in this series...

Thanks Amy.
I've just been served a sausage roll with a knife and fork. I'm as confused as I was with England's decision not to bowl Ben Stokes in that session.

Right, I'm off for a bit.
Matt Henry will take you through to tea.

RegularJon: I think the Bowling Stones would be a pretty big hit.

It's been a good morning for Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaite, who have put on 48 together.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialBoth of these two have played very nicely. I was expecting more movement off the pitch. England haven't got too much nip.
One ball has bounced from Dom Bess more than expected.
West Indies will be very happy with that.

Eighty-six runs scored in that session, for the loss of just one wicket.
Shai Hope walks off with 25 to his name, Kraigg Brathwaite 41, and West Indies trail England by 351 runs.
Crucially, they need another 152 to avoid the follow-on.

Joe Root wheels his way through the over and the players march off for lunch.
Very much West Indies' session.

BBC Test Match SpecialThere is a five-run penalty for putting saliva on the ball but it doesn't kick in straight away.

Ah, Sky say Dom Sibley had told the umpires that he had inadvertently put some saliva on the ball.
I suppose it's a hard habit to get out of, isn't it? Every player must be so used to doing it.

The umpire is currently sanitising the ball with a wipe - has someone accidentally put saliva on it?

This was England's earlier (terrible) review.
