The rain has almost stopped but that will be tea.
West Indies were 83-0, England bowling terribly, but the tourists have fought back well.

Just as Jason Holder makes his way to the middle a rain shower blows in off the sea.
The players are running for cover.

Blackwood c Overton b Woakes 11 (WI 127-4)
Gone! Jermaine Blackwood was trying to turn the ball to leg but got a little inside edge onto his thigh pad. The ball ballooned up and was easily taken at gully.
Chris Woakes' day gets better. So does England's.

There's a spike!

"There doesn't look to be any bat involved," says the umpire but England are celebrating after seeing the replay.
They think there is. Blackwood is the batter.

Now then. Has Woakes got a wicket?
England are going up for everything here. The catch looks more likely than lbw.

Craig Overton does what Woakes was attempting. He bowls a maiden on his return.

Bonner 3, Blackwood 11
Colander Woakes leaks another couple of boundaries on his return. He looks fed up at the end of the over. The first was a bit streaky, the second a full toss from the seamer.
Not his day.

Piemontemio: It's a funny old game - I've been berating the decision to leave out Broad and Anderson, but another wicket before tea and it's very much advantage England: 190-odd more to parity would look a very long way off...

Chris Woakes is back for another spell. He's got... errrmm... room for improvement, shall we say.

Foakes also seems to be leading the chatter from behind the stumps. Ben Stokes is getting plenty of encouragement.
Jermaine Blackwood loves batting against England. His average against them is 47, compared his overall stat of 30.39.

There are 20 minutes or so to go until tea. Mark Wood is starting to tire a little, I feel, with Ben Foakes having to scramble down the leg side to take a few wayward deliveries.
Foakes is obviously a very good keeper. He'll be disappointed with that drop a couple of overs ago.

Mark Wood has got this ball reverse swinging by the looks of things. England have taken three wickets for 28 runs.

Blackwood dropped on 0published at 30 overs
Almost another - I think!
New man Jermaine Blackwood has a wild swing at a Wood full ball and it looks like he gets an inside edge. Ben Foakes has to react quick, diving and falling low with one hand, but can't quite cling on to a screamer.

Brooks c Root b Stokes 18 (WI 111-3)
Ben Stokes gets his reward! After a very slow start England have come right back into this innings. It's another ropey shot, however - Brooks driving at a wide ball and edging to Joe Root at first slip. Root gives his vice-captain a big pat on the back.

Aggers is referencing the side strain Ben Stokes suffered in the Ashes and he was still recovering from going into this match. A week ago he wasn't expected to bowl at all.
He's into his fourth over and is bowling pretty well. He's certainly been one of the better seamers.
