    Shannon Gabriel is coming back on.

    In case you missed it this morning, the big man went off during his fourth over but did then come back on later in the session.

    Rob: One more wicket then in to the tail, like England from the 90s...

  3. ouch!

    Eng 103-3published at 40 overs

    That's a horrible bounce! England scurry through for a quick single and West Indies think there's another run out opportunity opening up but the ball skips up off a spare wicket end and hits Roston Chase in the chest/neck area.

    The slip fielder is shouting "good bowling, Jimmy" at Rahkeem Cornwall too. If anyone knows why Jimmy, please let me know.

    Burns 48, Pope 4

    Oh, Rory Burns is tempted there. Kemar Roach throws one wide and Burns goes to drive it but pulls away late on.

    "Woah, woah. Woah, woah!" shouts a West Indies fielder.

    Kemar Roach has hit Ollie Pope on the helmet this time. He's fine to continue, though.

    Last time that happened England lost a wicket just balls later. Let's hope this isn't a case of deja vu.

    News just out - England have allowed Joe Denly, Dan Lawrence, Craig Overton, Ollie Robinson and Olly Stone to leave the bio-secure bubble at Emirates Old Trafford. Denly is going to join the white-ball squad preparing for the three-match ODI series against Ireland.

    I do like Ollie Pope.

    Admittedly not quite as much as Daniel Norcross does but he looks a fantastic player.

    He picks up three more with a late down to third man.

    If Ollie Pope has a Test career like Ian Bell's then England fans are going to enjoy watching him over the next few years...

    You watch Ollie Pope's movements and he is just so Ian Bell.

    He's maybe taller than Ian Bell though. Ian's son is eight or nine years old and is already taller than Ian.

    Sorry, Ian.

  12. Eng 93-3published at 37 overs

    Ollie Pope gets off the mark first ball with a flick into the on-side.

    Kemar Roach has bowled five overs since lunch now. How many more can Jason Holder get out of him?

    Jos Buttler averages 39.69 at number six. Statistically it's his favourite place to bat in Tests. Chris Woakes averages 137 at number seven.

    Will Meredith: I'm backing Jos Buttler to score runs in this game. Having some more time in the middle with other top order bastmen will do him good!

    Good stuff from Rahkeem Cornwall as he backs up Kemar Roach by bowling a maiden to Rory Burns.

    It's a good ball but Ben Stokes' bat was coming from gully towards mid-on and that creates a big gap between bat and pad.

    Ben Stokes looks down the pitch and is not entirely sure how that got through. A bit of wobble and it zipped back in.

    Stokes b Roach 20 (Eng 92-3)

    Oh, wow! The old short-ball pitched-up set-up.

    It didn't feel like that was coming at all. After Ben Stokes manages to just keep out a good ball, Kemar Roach delivers an even better one. It nips back a bit on Stokes, who is stuck on the crease not using his feet, and goes through bat and pad and cannons into middle stump.

    Stokes looks at the pitch but it's a poor shot.

    A HUGE wicket for West Indies. They were not looking threatening post-lunch at all.

    A year ago Ben Stokes was ranked 31st in the world batting rankings in Tests.

    He's now third.

  20. Eng 92-2published at 34.3 overs

    After a brief helmet and concussion check Ben Stokes is good to go again.

    Kemar Roach bangs it in again but it just sits up nice for Stokes and he pulls it in between fine and square leg for his second boundary.
