    Oh dear. It's not been dragged back by a rather lazy huff. I say lazy, it's probably exhausted.

    Oh, Shannon,

    Ollie Pope rocks back, flicks it fine and Gabriel, who's is clearly not 100% fit, wafts a boot at the ball as he chases it down and unsurprisingly can't stop it going for four.

  3. How's stat?!published at 17:46 British Summer Time 24 July 2020

    Eight dot balls is the most consecutive deliveries that Ollie Pope has faced in this innings.

  4. Eng 230-4published at 78 overs

    Pope 77, Buttler 46

    Jos Buttler continues to very easily wait for the ball to spin into him from Roston Chase and tap it behind square leg for ones or twos.

    Oh dear. That sums up West Indies' evening - Jos Buttler smacking a wide ball under Jermaine Blackwood's hands and away for four.

    Fiercely struck but that should've been stopped in the covers.

    Windies captain Jason Holder is heading off the field.

    A potentially very damaging session so far for his side in the context of this match and series.

    West Indies in this session have been awful - everything about their play. I don't know what was said at tea, they were right in contest but they delayed the spinner for too long. The keeper has just had one of those days too.

  7. Eng 223-4published at 77 overs

    Ollie Pope skips down, picks the gap in the leg side and gets the single. Proper batting.

  8. Eng 222-4published at 76.3 overs

    Jos Buttler nudges it square for a single to bring up the 100 partnership between himself and Ollie Pope.

    A tremendous effort and exactly what England needed when Buttler joined Pope at the crease.

    Kevin Ticehurst: What a decision that is from the umpire, totally spot on. Even though it looked plum from where I was sitting!

    That's a ball that's apparently pitched some way outside off stump and gone well past leg stump.

    To be fair Shane Dowrich was moving in that direction.

  11. Not outpublished at 76.1 overs

    Oh my. Sharp turn from Rahkeem Cornwall and the ball would have gone past leg stump.

    West Indies lose another review.

    No bat.

    This is going to be close.

    You can see from Ollie Pope's face that he's a bit nervous. This is close.

  14. West Indies reviewpublished at 76.1 overs

    Rahkeem Cornwall gets it through onto Ollie Pope's pads.

    Another hearty appeal but not given.

    Bat on it?

    Jason Holder does send this one upstairs.

  15. Pope to become special player?published at 17:39 British Summer Time 24 July 2020

    In terms of Ollie Pope, I don't want to big him up too much but I will. I think we're looking at a special player in time. He just looks like he plays the game so naturally.

    It was in the air but it went past the man there like a rifle shot.

  17. Eng 220-4published at 76 overs

    Hello. Roston Chase tosses it up outside off and Jos Buttler threads it through a gap in the field to the fence.

  18. Postpublished at 17:36 British Summer Time 24 July 2020

    Talking of those two mighty sixes...

  19. Eng 215-4published at 75 overs

    Rahkeem Cornwall is keeping Jos Buttler honest after those two mighty sixes earlier.

    That's a maiden.
