Jason Holder has got to realise England are playing for Rory Burns to reach his ton quickly and reset his field accordingly.
Lead by 392
It might not take long for Rory Burns to get there based on that shot!
He gets down on one knee and wallops Roston Chase back down the ground, through mid-on, for four.

How much do England want to give Rory Burns the opportunity to make a third Test century? It can be really important for a player relatively new to a side.
I personally would give him the chance to get it.
Joe Root has a chat with Richard Kettleborough in between overs too.
It feels like we're building towards a declaration, very soon.

That is the 100 partnership up in just 16.1 overs.
Lead by 388
This is the best Joe Root has looked in ages.
He stands there, beautifully balanced, and flicks over mid-wicket for another boundary.
Root has a look at the scoreboard and the changing room, but it looks like Ben Stokes said 'hold on, for now'.

That is Joe Root's 66th half-century for England in Tests.
Lead by 382
Joe Root shouts two but he's absolutely crunched a pull shot to the fence.
There was plenty of criticism for England in the afternoon session but as a team they have been superb in this innings.

Joe Root is showing he can play those Ben Stokes shots as well. What a way to bring up a fine 50.
Wow! That is glorious from Joe Root.
He comes down the pitch again and slaps Kemar Roach for another boundary back down the ground.
That is Root's 49th Test half-century to add to his 17 centuries. It's come up off just 49 balls.
A superb innings from the captain.

England are playing quickly enough now to give themselves the opportunity of bowling at West Indies tonight.
Lead by 374
Offt that spun! Joe Root is cut in half by a great delivery from Rahkeem Cornwall.
Dom Bess has just jumped out of his seat in the England changing room and shouted 'let's get in the field, boys'.
That's 11 from the over. Joe Root has a look at the scoreboard. Is a declaration coming?
Text 81111
All the talk of Root being unable to convert to centuries but this knock here just proves his class and how vital he is to this team, scoring at a strike-rate of 100 without taking any risks. World-class player.

Great shot!
Joe Root skips down and just plonks Rahkeem Cornwall back over his head for six.
Joe Root has been really, really good so far.
Lead by 363
Five more singles.
England are racking up the runs here.
It feels like the conversation has moved on from England and their openers which is a huge compliment to the way Rory Burns and Dom Sibley have performed.
The conversation is now around who makes their best bowling attack?
Andy Zaltzman
Test Match Special statistician
Rory Burns is the first England opener to score 50 or more in both innings of a Test since Alastair Cook's farewell match at The Oval in 2018.
Cook achieved that feat on 14 occasions.
Lead by 358
Tighter from Rahkeem Cornwall with just three singles coming off his latest over.
England's reserve wicketkeeper Ben Foakes runs out with some drinks and new gloves for Joe Root and Rory Burns. Is there a message from Chris Silverwood as well?

Andrew Parker: Declare now! Get 15 overs in tonight and ask Archer to bowl at full pace. Could have them five down by the end of play.
