    A lovely on-drive from Alzarri Joseph is well stopped by a tumbling Chris Woakes in his follow through. Excellent work all round.

    Jon Purdey: If we don’t get Alzarri out the headlines will surely be “Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreambat”.

    Alzarri has batting ability but the little man on the shoulder gets in the way sometimes.

  4. WI 67-1published at 22 overs

    And Alzarri Joseph does indeed try to launch Sam Curran's first ball for six, and has to settle for an ugly hoick to mid-wicket that's easily stopped by the fielder.

    Maiden.

    This will be an interesting match-up. At Sam Curran's pace Alzarri will be thinking he can't bowl to him.

    This is going to be entertaining.

    Sam Curran is coming on for his first bowl of the day.

    Meanwhile, here's that dropped catch...

    West Indies have scored 35 runs in half an hour this morning.

    Alzarri Joseph is having a concussion check and, I suspect, will have to change his helmet.

    Who is the most entertaining lower-order batsman? I always enjoyed Brett Lee. Well, not at Edgbaston in '05.

    I don't know if Alzarri Joseph was given a batting manual for Christmas. Since the start of this year he is averaging 95 from seven innings.

    Before that in his entire first-class career he was averaging 7.7.

  10. ouch!

    WI 67-1published at 20 overs

    And that is exactly what Stuart Broad does!

    It's a sharp bouncer from the England man and Alzarri Joseph swings, misses, and the ball hits his helmets and goes flying away for four byes. 17 from the over!

    It might be time for England to give Joseph some bouncers. He looks to be a bit of a Colin Compulsive.

  12. WI 63-1published at 19.5 overs

    Full from Stuart Broad, and Alzarri Joseph clonks a lovely looking drive away for two.

    He plays some really nice shots. And then some absolutely awful ones. Basically, he's what every batsman should be.

    I don't think it was catchable. More frustration for Stuart Broad.

  14. WI 61-1published at 19.4 overs

    Alzarri Joseph adds insult to injury by running the ball down past Rory Burns and into the boundary rope for four.

    Edged - and beyond third slip! Broad lets out an absolute roar of frustration as the ball, clocked at 88mph, pings off the outside edge as Joseph drives and flies beyond a sprawling Zak Crawley at third slip.

    Manceyy: Stokes is not a great catcher, but a catcher of great catches.

    Chris Woakes, who must be more than a bit miffed, wheels through a tidy over.

    If it had been a direct hit I think Joseph would have been gone.

    Even if the throw had have been accurate Buttler would have had a chance but it was wide of the stumps.

  18. WI 50-1published at 18.3 overs

    Alzarri Joseph should be out again!

    He clips to mid-off and sets off for a single that is never, in a million years, going to be on. He's halfway down the pitch as Dom Sibley hammers the ball back in but it just misses and Jos Buttler, moving forwards, can't collect it.

    I swear, England miss more run-out chances than any other Test team.

    After the success of Alastair Cook's takeaway curry last Saturday in Southampton, Michael Vaughan took up the challenge to arrange a Japanese last night.

    Promised at 7pm, the minutes started to tick by, and the former skipper began to look more worried than the final morning of Edgbaston 2005. However, just like Steve Harmison, Vaughan's takeaway choice came up with the victorious delivery.

  20. WI 50-1published at 18 overs

    Alzarri Joseph hoicks across the line and manages to knock Stuart Broad away for a single, before Broad tickles the outside edge of Kraigg Brathwaite's bat with a lovely delivery.
