Dot. Dot. Dot.

No sign of any extra intent yet.

Full and wide from Kemar Roach and Dom Sibley eases it through the covers for a couple.

Kemar Roach will continue for West Indies after tea.

There are still 39 overs left in the day.

We've gone off for bad light in the first two days so it seems inevitable that we will at some stage today too.

How many overs will we get in? 30? At four runs an over? Another 120 and England's lead will be almost 380.

A match-winning total surely?

England head coach Chris Silverwood is talking to Dom Sibley on the team balcony.

Something along the lines of 'hit out or get out, please Dom', perhaps?

It was slow progress in that afternoon session - England only added 76 runs - but they now have a platform for a lot of fun and putting the day out of West Indies reach in whatever cricket we see for the rest of the day.

In all seriousness though, that knock from Stuart Broad yesterday morning was crucial for England.

Their lead would still be under 200 now if it wasn't for that.

With a lead of 258 with a session to go on day three England are in a very strong position, regardless of any weather that may or may not hit Old Trafford.

We might have to call for Broady to star with the bat too...

In case you're just joining us, Stuart Broad was superb for England this morning.

They had a poor first hour before Broad went on one of his famous roles and rattled through the Windies tail.

Andrew Tomlinson: We spent the past few years asking why we can't find a couple of openers who can dig in and play for their wicket... then want to know why they can't get a move on.

Thanks Jack.

Well, that session was slightly chaotic but not in the way I expected it to be.

Maybe England are looking at a different forecast to the rest of us.

I'll leave you with those Stuart Broad highlights and in the hands of Callum Matthews to guide you through the final session of day three.

Will West Indies be batting again today?

Here's something to enjoy during the tea break - Today at the Test's Michael Vaughan reflecting on Stuart Broad's sensational performance this morning. You can watch the whole show on BBC Two at 19:00 BST.

Will be interesting to see what England do if Rory Burns or Dom Sibley fall soon after the resumption.

Could we see Ben Stokes or Jos Buttler promoted to three?

Sibley and Burns have ground West Indies down and laid a platform for an assault after tea.

Steven Anderson: England could do with West Indies getting a wicket!

John Campbell makes a fine stop at point.

Rahkeem Cornwall then gets a bit of bite out of the foot marks to beat Rory Burns' bat.

Burns stoically defends the last ball of the session and that's a maiden.

England go to tea 86-0, leading by 258.

GC: I agree with everyone saying that these two need to score a bit faster, but I must say I didn't think that a problem we faced this series would be our openers *not* getting out!

Rahkeem Cornwall switches ends to replace Roston Chase.

This will be the final over before tea.
