    England will be quite relieved after that nightmare-ish period where they and we thought they weren't going to get over 300. The fact the ball was carrying will give them confidence because they've got a very strong bowling attack.

    Thanks Jack.

    Well, this is a Test series that just keeps on giving.

    I didn't know what to expect when it was first announced that we'd get a series, behind closed doors with no spectators but full credit to the players, the cricket on display has been as good as normal. It really is absorbing stuff.

    Cheers Mitchell.

    I'm off to consult the thesaurus over the lunch break and leave you in the capable hands of Callum Matthews for the second session.

    Later.

    Really enjoying the linguistic gymnastics of the BBC live feed at the moment. 'Banjaxes' and 'marmalises' are current favorites.

    The fun had to come to an end at some point though...

    Well what a morning that was.

    Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel were fired up and bowling brilliantly and England just couldn't cope, falling from 254-8 to 280-8.

    Enter Stuart Broad with a majestic 62 off 45 balls...

    That was a Gower-esque dismissal from James Anderson!

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 111.5 overs

    Anderson c Cornwall b Holder 11 (Eng 369 all out)

    And that is that.

    Jason Holder does finish off the innings, a smart delivery that just leaves James Anderson, flicking the outside edge.

    Rahkeem Cornwall makes no mistake with this one at first slip.

    England are all out for 369 - less than they would've hoped for at 258-4 overnight, but much more than expected when they collaped to 280-8.

    Stuart Broad, take a bow.

    Anderson reminds me of Gower sometimes... sometimes!

    Alastair Cook, actually sorry James Anderson, clips it deliciously off his hips for three.

    Jason Holder takes it upon himself to try and end this innings.

    He's bowling at James Anderson from the James Anderson end.

    England will want to get as many as they can in this innings because that follow-on scenario could come into play like it did in the last game, with the weather.

  13. Eng 365-9published at 111 overs

    Very much the calm after the Stuart Broad storm now.

  14. Eng 364-9published at 110 overs

    James Anderson whips it down the ground for a single to keep the strike.

  15. Eng 363-9published at 109.4 overs

    James Anderson unfurls the reverse sweep and ends up fizzing it between keeper Shane Dowrich and Rahkeem Cornwall at first slip.

    No chance of catching that. That's four.

    Stuart Broad now has the record for the highest score by a number 10 in a Test at Old Trafford, knocking Hedley Verity off the top - Verity scored 60 against Australia in 1934.

    Lunch will not be taken at 13:00 BST if West Indies are still yet to take this final wicket.

    They can go on until 13:30 before lunch will have to be taken.

    Roston Chase completes a wicket maiden as Dom Bess sees off the final four balls.

    Last man James Anderson to face his first ball next up.
