These pitches have been marvellous. Each one has been different. It's quite extraordinary that in a five-match series played at the same venue, we've had such different matches and pitches throughout.
Left-arm Sheldon Cottrell, with his windmill action, clips the pad of Moeen Ali and wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran appeals thinking there was some bat involved. But it's given short shrift by the umpires.
Jeers from the England supporters three balls later when Cottrell's third ball is signalled a wide.

That's a great spell from Pollard. How that last ball wasn't a wide I don't know, but he has been superb.
Liam Livingstone in on the act, striking Kieron Pollard for the first boundary of his spell with a six over the longest boundary at the ground. England need more of this in what remains of their innings.
Pollard is, though, lucky not to be called for a wide off the final ball his over.

Patrick Brennan: James Vince c [name] b [name] 3[0-9] will have to be on his gravestone...
Moeen Ali has had enough.
The final ball of Akeal Hosein's over and he sweeps him for six. More than a hint of top edge in that shot, but the Worcestershire man will not care a jot.
Liam Livingstone a little unhappy the first ball of Akeal Hosein's next over is not called a wide. Next ball he attempts to heave a reverse pull, but is unable to make contact and just about regains his balance.
England struggling a little again here.
This is a masterclass in bowling to the conditions from Kieron Pollard, who has plenty of swagger as he walks back to his mark.
England stand-in skipper Moeen Ali punches it down the ground for a single to get Liam Livingstone on strike.

James Gulleford: How many times does Vince have to hit it straight to the fielder in the circle before England accept he’s not good enough? He just gifts his wicket away time and again!
Andrew Bevan: Vince should have left that wicket ball but after some questionable non-wide calls by that umpire, he probably felt he had to go for it.
Vince c Mayers b Hosein 34 (Eng 97-3)

The tall languid figure of Akeal Hosein wheels away around the wicket with his crafty left-arm spin.
However, the third ball of his over he hangs it out wide to James Vince who fishes at it and tamely sends it into the hands of Kyle Mayers who is stationed in a catching position at short third man.

England's seamers need to be watching what Pollard is doing here, and replicate it as much as possible.
Roy c Pooran b Pollard 52 (Eng 93-2)
Superb set-up from Kieron Pollard to capture the key wicket of Jason Roy, capitalising on the frustration of the England opener.
Roy had attempted to reverse pull the West Indies skipper in the previous ball having struggled to get him away in his previous over.
Next ball Roy skips down the pitch, attempting to whack it to cow corner, but instead it's a thick edge it into the gloves of wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran.
Image source, Getty ImagesA carbon copy shot from James Vince to finish the over, but this time he's not quite timed it so well and the sweeper is able to cut the ball off.
James Vince opens his stance up and then square drives Romario Shepherd to the boundary for four, pulling a hand off the bat as he completes the shot.

Jason Roy fiddles with the grille on his helmet before Romario Shepherd bounds in, but the West Indies seamer sends down a wide.
Then another.
Useful freebies for England.

Kieron Pollard seems like the absolute perfect bowler for these conditions.
