    Ben Howard: STOOOOOOOOOOOOOKES?!?! What a cricketer! Good take by Buttler too.

    Issy Savin de Larclause: I don't think there will a day where Ben Stokes doesn't make a Test match his own.

    Billy Boy: Stokes could probably take a caught and bowled on the boundary if it was skied enough.

    Ben Stokes is extraordinary isn't he?

    Honestly, I cannot explain how ridonkulous Ben Stokes is.

    To just keep on turning out for your team, time after time, innings after innings, with bat and ball, knowing that everyone is looking to you to make the difference...

    It's a different level.

    After getting all of the runs, Ben Stokes is now bowling and fielding on the boundary at the same time.

    England walk off for tea, with Ben Stokes clapped all the way up to the dressing room.

    Astonishing. Just astonishing. Five wickets for England and we're level in the series.

    Blackwood had looked uncomfortable. Jos Buttler has taken a good catch. That could be the lift England needed.

    There would have been a few sorry faces if that hadn't gone to hand but now it is pats on the backs.

    A great bit of bowling again.

    I cannot comprehend Ben Stokes.

    That is Ben Stokes. When England needed it.

    Ben Stokes!

    Wrap that man in cotton wool. A superb short ball, nasty, in the ribs, and Jermaine Blackwood gets into a tangle. He tries to work it around the corner but can only send the ball into the air and it is Jos Buttler who takes a superb diving catch to end what had been a very frustrating partnership.

    Stokes really is doing everything for the team.

    That is a brilliant effort from Stokes.

    Ben Stokes is ridiculous, isn't he?

    Jermaine Blackwood pushes a ball back past him and there's no-one at mid-off, so Stokes has to chase after the ball and pulls out a full length dive in a vain attempt to stop the ball going for four. Outstanding commitment.

    Beautiful shot.

    There wasn't even an element of risk.

    Oh, Shamarh Brooks!

    He goes down the ground, aiming another huge six off Dom Bess, but Chris Woakes is back-pedalling from long-on, his eyes on the ball. He leaps, he stretches, and the ball just tips over the boundary rope for six as Woakes stumbles back.

    Jermaine Blackwood averages just a shade over 54 for West Indies against England.

    If England can just get one it is a different game but Blackwood and Brooks are doing well.

    Terrific from Ben Stokes, bending his back and sending down a bumper barrage to Jermaine Blackwood. He's barely had a minute's rest during this game and he's still sending down these body-breaking short ball spells.
