    At the minute, the wall is doing quite a lot of walloping.

    Blackwood is the Windies' wall. When he’s gone, it should be game over.

    Even if he nicked that it would probably go over the slips.

    Hello!

    Jermaine Blackwood frees his arms and absolutely dispatches Sam Curran to the cover boundary.

    I see Andy's point and maybe it's because I'm easily amused, but I find his celebrappeals very, very funny. Especially when it's clearly not out. And then he looks so appalled by it.

    Broad is a brilliant bowler for us but does anyone else strongly dislike his ‘no-look’ lbw appeal? It seems quite disrespectful to me...like when footballers grab the ball because they’ve decided it’s a foul. Very impudent and something as a club cricketer I would never dream of doing. Does he feel he’s above asking the umpire as per the laws of the game?

    Luigi: Watching Sam Curran bowl, it’s a bit like S.Broad is letting his teenage son have a go.

    Stuart Broad's superb spell is over, and Chris Woakes will replace him at the James Anderson End.

    Everyone talks about Broad's spell yesterday but Ben Stokes broke the partnership and stopped the scoring.

    Target 312

    Phil Simmonds has got his eyes closed up in the West Indies dressing room, which means he misses a Sam Curran maiden.

    I always thought it was how is that, but that wouldn't be gramatically correct, would it?

    Isn't an appeal technically a question? How was that?

    Never change, Stuart.

    Richard Illingworth's disdainful scrunch of the face and shake of the head when negatively responding to an appeal is absolutely superb.

    Stuart Broad's aggrieved face when he thinks something is blatantly out is wonderful. He's provided us with so much entertainment over the years.

    He has another appeal turned down, although as he actually turned to face the umpire this time. I'm assuming he didn't think it was that convincing.

    Broad barely even looked back at the umpire.

  18. WI 55-4published at 18.1 overs

    Stuart Broad goes up for an lbw against Shamarh Brooks - and when I say go up, I mean he goes running towards the slips to celebrate before bothering to turn back around to the umpire.

    It's not out because of the massive inside edge Brooks has got on it, but that doesn't bother Broad.

    The Supreme Meme QC: Dropping Broad was actually the plan all along to fire him up for the 2nd and 3rd Tests.

    And for good measure, Blackwood thumps another aerial boundary through extra cover.

    Well, why not, I suppose?
