Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special
This might be one of the worst reviews ever.
It pitched two yards outside leg stump, never mind the fact it was going over.
Was that just to waste time?
Isa Guha
Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
Ooh, bullseye...
Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special
Everyone sees the funny side of that...
Errrm. West Indies are reviewing an lbw after Stokes was hit in the errrmmm... delicate areas.
Optimistic.

Root misses out, flicking a leg-stump half-volley straight to fine leg. Five yards either way and it was four.
Root has 21 from 30. It's a different game at that end.
Imagine if you got in the way of this. It'd hurt...

Ben Stokes made his slowest Test century in the first innings. Now he's cracked 50 from 36 balls. In between, he bowled an 11-over spell almost exclusively of bouncers. He also dropped a catch. So, you know, no-one's perfect.
Lead by 268
Remember when I said England would struggle to score more than 60 from 10 overs this morning? I should have taken Ben Stokes' superhuman qualities into account.
A single makes it 49 runs this morning from six overs.
Andy Zaltzman
Test Match Special statistician
Ben Stokes' fifty came from 36 balls with two sixes and two fours. This is his second quickest half-century.
Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special
What a cricketer. It's not easy, what he's doing here, but he's given England a chance. He's an incredible cricketer.
Isa Guha
Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
Stokes didn't get all of it but still enough for it to go to six! That takes him to 50. What a match, what a series, he's having.
SIX AGAIN!
Stokes hasn't middled this but it still clears Jason Holder.

Joe Root ran the first one hard and Ben Stokes walked it! Just keep getting the ones, Joe, that's all you need to do...
This mini-session is no good for Joe Root's ego. Stokes back on strike...
Isa Guha
Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
I was late for my commentary stint because I was consoling Carlos Brathwaite after the dropped catch. He wasn't pleased...
How many more overs will England bat? Five?

What Jason Holder did for the last ball was stretch his field and say to Joe Root, you can have the single. It's typical T20 cricket - keep Ben Stokes off strike.
Lead by 258
Just the five from this Jason Holder over. In the circumstances that's pretty good.
West Indies look happy for Root to keep the strike at the end of the over.
