  1. Eng 2-0published at 2 overs

    Good, tidy, accurate stuff from Shannon Gabriel with just a Rory Burns single off his hip added to the total.

    The camera has cut to a dejected looking Jason Holder in the Windies changing room. He currently has his thumb in a cup of ice.

    Is Stuart Broad the best he's ever been?

    This is the fourth time this year that Stuart Broad has taken three wickets in a single spell. Previously, he'd only had three in two years.

    Saint Alastair: Broad and Anderson are next level. Imagine thinking that dropping or resting or “rotating” them should be an option for Test Cricket. Broad in particular could play for another 3 or 4 years, another brilliant hopefully match-winning performance.

    Bang on the money from Kemar Roach to Dom Sibley, testing his defences.

    The England opener survives the pair for the time being.

    I think he'll be OK, but he will have to ice it off the field for a while and won't be able to marshal his troops.

    Jason Holder is walking off for more treatment and possibly an x-ray.

    If West Indies weren't already up against it, losing their captain isn't going to help matters.

    While Jason Holder is having his thumb looked at, have a watch of Stuart Broad's six wickets.

  10. Eng 1-0published at 0.3 overs

    Ooh!

    Kemar Roach entices an edge from Rory Burns but it drops short of Jason Holder at first slip. The West Indies captain does well to stop it but he's in some discomfort now - either with his finger or wrist - and the physio is coming on.

    Kemar Roach will get us going with Rory Burns facing up.

    The declaration will be interesting - it might have to happen tonight to get some overs in, to ensure they have enough time to bowl out West Indies on Tuesday.

    England aren't in a huge rush so their conventional openers of Dom Sibley - who is on a pair don't forget - and Rory Burns are strolling to the middle.

    Stuart Broad looks back to his best, bowling that one which jags back sharply after setting the batsman up with a few which go away.

    6-31 are Stuart Broad's best figures in a home Test since you know what...

    England should think about how many overs they need to bowl out the West Indies on Tuesday - just bat properly today, until tea at least.

    That plan is with the expectation that we won't see any cricket tomorrow because of the forecast.

    Well, England went into the morning session with hopes of enforcing the follow-on. The first hour was resoundly won by West Indies but Stuart Broad has single-handedly clawed the morning session back in England's favour.

    Their lead is already 172. What will the plan be from here?

    Bat these three-four overs before lunch, the whole of the afternoon session and evening session, scoring 200 runs, before having 30 minutes at the Windies tonight?

    Why wasn't the Broad plan put into practice from ball one?

    Dowrich had a go - he didn't have much faith in Gabriel - and he ended up shovelling the ball to Woakes.
