  1. WI 143-6published at 45 overs

    Brooks 53, Holder 5

    Stokes bangs the ball in so sort it clears Jason Holder's head by a foot or two which is some going. Stokes has his collar up, sleeveless sweater on with his lengthening ginger hair flicked back. Sensational. And he gets a pat on the back from Stuart Broad at the end of the over.

    Stokes is going to continue. Does he not get tired?

    At what point will we have to ask Stokes to bowl with his other arm and bat one handed to make things fair?

  5. WI 142-6published at 43.4 overs

    Jason Holder has hardly scored a run on tour but flicks his second ball to the mid-wicket boundary. A lovely shot.

    Jason Holder is in now. A lot rests on the shoulders of the West Indies captain.

    It's disappointing to see Dowrich get out the same way. You can see leg stump - it looks like he's scared. He needs to front up.

    It wasn't plumb, by any means. Dowrich made it look worse by going so far across.

    Dowrich lbw Woakes 0 (WI 138-6)

    OUT! It was only going on to flick leg stump but England do not care. Shane Dowrich had jumped across his stumps and was hit on the pad.

    That's Chris Woakes' 100th Test wicket.

    There's no bat on this but it is going to be tight on leg stump...

    Given!

    Shane Dowrich is trapped in front. But was it going down?

    Chris Woakes will begin the session from the other end...

    After heavy lockdown restrictions due to my son's ill health, we are all looking forward to going to a drive in cinema tonight. We're going to see 80's classic Back To The Future.

    Target 312

    Shane Dowrich is the new batsman. The light isn't great but Stokes continues with his short-pitched ploy from round the wicket.

    Stokes fails to take a wicket with those two balls. Drop him.

    Fair point. I have seen the original Superman film. Once.

    Here come the players. Stokes has two more balls left in the over. Hat-trick?

    Adam Johns: Matt, all four of the original Superman films were released pre 1990. This disqualifies you from making any reference to Stokes as Superman. You may call him Hellboy, if you so wish.

    Ben Stokes has made a crucial contribution on every day of this match that we've had play...

    Dave Coombes: Does Ben Stokes have a PSV licence ? He’ll need one to drive the team bus because does everything else.

    Ross Ellis: To misquote Brian Clough... 'Stokes might not be the best cricketer in the world but he's in the top one.'

    Stuart Langridge: Young boys want to be international cricketers when they grow up. International cricketers want to be Ben Stokes.

    But what about Ben Stokes? I have run out of words to describe him.

    I just got a text saying "are England going to make him wash up and cook the teas as well?"

    That just about sums him up. Superman.
