    Well that was another absorbing session of Test match cricket. This has developed in a fantastic little series.

    We've still got 37 overs left in the day so either side can still grab control.

    Jack Skelton will take you through to close.

    England are precariously placed but Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler will look to progress after tea.

    More excellent drop and run cricket from Ollie Pope. For a 22-year-old he looks to have a brilliant cricketing brain already.

    That will be tea. West Indies on top?

    Pope 22, Buttler 1

    After that incredibly risky single Jos Buttler sees out the rest of Jason Holder's over.

    One over to go before tea.

    A direct hit would've been close but this time Roston Chase couldn't gather. That was a risky single from Ollie Pope.

  7. Eng 128-4published at 51.1 overs

    I've just been praising Ollie Pope for being proactive but this is just suicidal.

    It's barely out of reach of Roston Chase at short mid-wicket and Pope and Jos Buttler decide to take the single.

    Thankfully, Chase can't quite gather with his weaker left hand because Pope would have been out by an absolute mile. He started his dive about 12 yards away from the crease at the non-striker's end which tells you how much he was struggling.

    A missed opportunity for West Indies.

    Here we go - the catch you've all been wanting to see!

    It's not quite the Dwayne Leverock I was hoping for but this is a sensational grab by Rahkeem Cornwall.

  9. Eng 127-4published at 51 overs

    That is an absolutely rancid shot from Ollie Pope! It's just a horrible woft outside off stump and he's nowhere it. Shane Dowrich is having one of those hours as he spills this one too.

    That's much, much better from Pope as he leans on a drive and picks up a single.

    England need a partnership otherwise West Indies will be eyeing up bowling them out for 200-220.

    And that would give West Indies a superb chance of winning their first series in England since 1988.

  11. Eng 125-4published at 50 overs

    Two overs and a wicket for Roston Chase, but he's out of the attack as Jason Holder brings himself back on.

    Chase has got Rory Burns out four times in Test cricket now and the England opener averages a lowly 3.75 against him.

    Holder is getting a little bit of shape but Pope looks pretty comfortable and moves into the 20s with a couple through the covers.

    Pope 18, Buttler 0

    Shane Dowrich is really starting to struggle behind the stumps now. The ball is starting to do that thing where it wobbles but only after it has passed the batsman and it's a nightmare for a wicketkeeper to judge.

    England sneak a bye before Jos Buttler, who is getting plenty of short-ball treatment from Shannon Gabriel, sees out the over.

    That is the greatest catch ever taken by a man wearing two hats.

    Game on after that wicket. West Indies have been fighting well today.

  16. Eng 122-4published at 48 overs

    Feel like I've struck with the commentator's curse there after saying how good Rory Burns was looking and that the game was meandering. A double whammy from me.

    Jos Buttler, a man who needs a score, is the new man in the middle and England's last recognised batsman.

    Rahkeem Cornwall has tremendous hands. I don't think he knew much about that but he just trusted his hands.

    Roston Chase has got Rory Burns again!

    An aggressive stroke and a very smart catch by Rahkeem Cornwall.

    Burns c Cornwall b Chase 57 (Eng 122-4)

    HELLO RAHKEEM CORNWALL!

    This is a very poor shot from Rory Burns. It's short from Roston Chase but it's far too close to be cutting and Burns, who ends up cramped for room, gets a thick edge on it.

    It absolutely flies to Cornwall at slip and he just sticks out his right mitt and grabs it. That is stunning because that ball was travelling.

    West Indies are on top.

    We're in that afternoon spell where the game just meanders along at the moment with not too much happening.

    Somewhere in a parallel universe a beer snake is being built and the Barmy Army are on their 23rd rendition of "Everywhere We Go".
