    Chris Woakes, who has one of the better lockdown hair growths, is back on.

    Hello, has he got Kraigg Brathwaite caught behind? Joe Root reviews it with one second remaining...

    I really enjoy Shai Hope. Interesting to see that he averages just 25.34 since that extraordinary Headingley innings. You'd expect that to be higher.

    Kraigg Brathwaite, not to be outdone, clonks a full delivery from Broad away for three easy runs.

    Get Ben Stokes on to bowl, he's the man who's going to bowl out West Indies and give us a chance.

  5. WI 94-2published at 35 overs

    Short from Dom Bess, too short, and Shai Hope is on it like a rocket, hopping backwards and dragging it through mid-wicket for four. He almost takes out Ollie Pope at short leg in the process, and Pope has to pull out a dive a Premier League goalkeeper would be proud of to avoid getting a whack.

    There is nothing happening for Stuart Broad in terms of movement.

  7. WI 90-2published at 34 overs

    For follow-on fans, West Indies need another 180 runs to avoid that interruption.

    Stuart Broad's final delivery finds a bit of extra bounce from somewhere, and Kraigg Brathwaite gets a touch squared up, edging the ball along the ground to a scrambling Zak Crawley at third slip.

    England bowler James Anderson, speaking to Sky Sports, on the prospect of players being allowed to return home after this series: "I've heard whispers of it, but nothing confirmed. It would be nice if we can get home or a few days in between, so we'll have our fingers crossed on that one.

    "It's been different but I can't say it's been hard - we're in a hotel, we're looked after well, we've got nice surroundings, and we're getting to play cricket, which is amazing, so we're just grateful for that."

    Shai Hope is a good batter to watch. He plays glorious shots.

    Shot. Dom Bess tosses the ball up, encouraging Shai Hope to drive, and Hope responds in elegant fashion, sending the ball away through extra cover for four.

    I've seen umpire Michael Gough heading out for a run or to the gym a few times. His PE kit is always all black. Black T-shirt, black shorts, long black socks. Like a football referee. Once an official, always an official.

  12. WI 85-2published at 32 overs

    This is more like it from Stuart Broad, metronomic line and length, and he wheels his way through another maiden.

    Ben Stokes goes tumbling to the floor at leg gully as Kragg Brathwaite tries to dabble the ball past him, and he ends up wearing one on his knee in the process.

    There's definitely turn there for Dom Bess, twice beating Kraigg Brathwaite with a bit of extra speed, and that'll be a maiden.

    Joe Root gave his team a good talking-to at drinks. The players circled around him; the skipper was very animated. Not something you see too often from Root.

    Dom Bess will continue.
