    Joe Root said before the Test started that he had an idea of how many overs Ben Stokes could bowl at a time. It's clearly not a high number, and he definitely wouldn't have wanted to call on him this early in an innings.

    Ha. Bonner is comfortably back but there's confusion all around the ground as 'Out' is flashed up on the big screen.

    Someone has pressed the wrong button and will be getting a stern talking to.

  3. Umpire reviewpublished at 18:06 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2022

    Bonner is 33 and is playing his 10th Test, having made his debut last year. He looks the part with his long-sleeved shirt and orthodox technique.

    Has he run himself out? We're going upstairs. England don't look too interested.

    Joe Root is looking a lot happier now. He's smiling his way through some exaggerated shadow batting at slip as Stokes responds well to being chopped for four.

    The new batter is right-hander Nkrumah Bonner. He'll be on strike to Wood next.

  5. drinks break

    WI 101-2published at 17:58 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2022

    That's drinks too. West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite will be gutted with that dismissal. A good innings wasted.

    Brathwaite c Overton b Wood 55 (WI 101-2)

    Right on cue! Craig Overton takes a smart catch in the gully as Kraigg Brathwaite chases a quick, wide ball from Wood. England have their second wicket courtesy of the Durham quick.

  7. WI 101-1published at 17:54 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2022

    Wood has a field set for some of his rockets rather than line and length. There's one slip and a couple of other fielders lurking in unusual edges for catches skewed up in the air.

    Wood took 6-93 in his last innings in West Indies.

    Dan Parker: Can we reset the red ball reset? Feel like we've turned the team off and on again at the wall but that's not worked. Now let's fully unplug from the wall and try again. Failing that, we can turn off the mains and leave it like that

  9. Not outpublished at 17:49 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2022

    As expected the ball is going comfortably over the stumps.

    England lose a review.

    It has hit Brooks' pad at the top of the flap. He's a tall man...

  11. England reviewpublished at 17:48 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2022

    England are going for an lbw review off Ben Stokes' bowling which I think is as ambitious as they come.

    England haven't bowled a consistent line and length. Jason Holder showed yesterday how to make it hard to score on this dead strip. England have bowled too many boundary balls.

  13. WI 96-1published at 24 overs

    Mark Wood returns to the attack and some England fans who are starting to look in need of the bottle of suncream burst into their song for the Durham quick which goes to the tune of Twist and Shout.

    Plenty of pace from Wood but no threat as yet.

    When you're making Kraigg Brathwaite look like a quick-scoring opener you must know you've bowled poorly. He's usually more Geoffrey than Jayasuriya.

    It's an accurate start from Stokes in fairness.

  16. 50 runs

    50 for Brathwaitepublished at 22.1 overs

    Stokes begins on Brathwaite's pads. The right-hander knocks him down to fine leg which takes the West Indies captain to his fifty in 62 balls - his fastest in Tests.

    Time for a bit of Ben Stokes...

  18. WI 94-1published at 22 overs

    Brathwaite 49, Brooks 8

    England are doing their best to ensure we don't get too excited by a wicket.

    It's short and wide from Craig Overton, providing Brooks the easiest possible opportunity way to get off the mark. The next one is full - floaty and too full - and Brooks drives perfectly for four.

    "Fancy a few freebies, Shamarh? Here you go."

  19. WI 86-1published at 21 overs

    Trail by 225

    Root persists with Leach despite the wicket. I'm really not sure this plan is the one.

  20. WI 84-1published at 20 overs

    The stylish Shamarh Brooks is West Indies number three.

    He averages 28.13 from eight Tests.
