Andy Mac: That decision was genuinely terrible. I wouldn't like to rely on this version as a camera to reverse onto my driveway with. There'd be no walls left.

Chris Woakes still getting a hint of movement through the air, but not quite enough swing to trouble these two West Indies batters as the precious lacquer on the ball starts to disintegrate on this abrasive pitch.

A huge appeal from England for lbw after Joshua Da Silva is struck on the pad by Waokes's penultimate ball. A conflab between Joe Root, Ben Foakes and Woakes but the England skipper declines to eview.

Be interesting to see that one again...

Junaid Saleem: Get Matthew Fisher in the team for the second test. I work with his girlfriend and she reckons he will play.

Mark Wood back into the attack but his first delivery of this spell is quickly seized upon by Nkrumah Bonner, who picks up the length and swivels on his back foot to hook it for six over fine leg.

There was a big hint of top edge on that but Bonner was largely in control of the shot.

The musical clanging of steel drums inside the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium goes up a few notches.

The hirsute Chris Woakes is toiling away, still nibbling it about in dangerous areas, but without much reward.

He has Joshua Da Silva back in his crease with a few balls back of a length but the West Indies wicketkeeper does well to get himself in line.

Still just the one wicket to fall for England today after Ben Stokes had fellow all-rounder Jason Holder caught behind.

Rachel T: Stokes, Woakes, Foakes and eight Blokes. Eleven then!

Craig Overton, incidentally, has always reminded me of the James Bond villain 'Jaws' played by Richard Kiel.

That steely blanking of Joshua Da Silva has simply enhanced this.

Rick Harris: In answer to Chris Rousell's challenge of most number of players with rhyming surnames in a Test XI together, I'd suggest this one has quite a few - Crawley, Rooty, Stokesy, Woakesy, Woody, Leachy, Foakesy!

That looked good on initial viewing, but Craig Overton's confidence was misplaced. DRS shows the ball was just sliding down leg.

Da Silva stepped across but the ball was missing by a couple of centimetres. The West Indies wicketkeeper is almost apologetic to Overton, who cold shoulders him.

Joshua Da Silva is struck on the pad by Craig Overton.

He's been given out on the field but the West Indies wicketkeeper has reviewed it.

"Looks good" Overton tells England's players in the huddle.

Chris Woakes with a hint of swing in that over, and he's dangling the ball in the right areas against the watchful Nkrumah Bonner.

His penultimate delivery is a scrambled seam which Bonner gets behind and fends off with the shoulder of his bat before a Steve Smith-esque lightsaber leave to his final ball.

The lines and lengths Craig Overton initially bowled yesterday were not what they needed to be for Test cricket. He needs to learn from that and improve his game.

Craig Overton has a kind of medical tape on his bowling arm which is curiously patterned. Reminds me of a doily my grandma used to have in her living room.

The tall Somerset semer drops his final ball in a little short and Joshua Da Silva gets over the top of it to pull. He's unable to time it, though, so picks up a couple of runs.

Six runs off that over all told.

Iz: For some perspective, when James Anderson had played 42 Test matches (the number Woakes has played) he averaged 48.11 away from home. It wasn’t until Anderson had played 56 Test matches that his average away from home dropped below 40.

Again, I'm not condoning any ill treatment of hedgehogs.

Back to the cricket and that's been a measured innings from Nkrumah Bonner who has looked patient and composed at the crease in reaching his fourth Test half-century.

He's 33 and only made his Test debut against Bangladesh last year but looks like a long-form player. He sees off a maiden from Chris Woakes.

Someone, somewhere, must have (humanely) used hedgehog spikes to rough up a cricket ball in the hope it swings more...

Craig Overton shares the new ball with Chris Woakes and his fifth delivery is nudged into the covers by Nkrumah Bonner who brings up his half-century off 147 balls.

Tom Ashley-Maguire: Our hedgehog's home looks a bit like a sauna, complete with heater (he's currently hiding in the foxy fleece pocket no doubt worried about how long it is before Ben Stokes breaks down). Not sure my other half will agree to his name being changed to Mark Wood though.

The gasps from the England fans at the Sir Vivian Richards stadium are audible as Chris Woakes draws an edge from the edge of Joshua Da Silva's bat as he prods at one.

It beats the dive of Zak Crawley at second slip.

Woakes put his hands on his head and grins. Da Silva played that with soft-ish hands it probably would not have carried even if England had another slip in place.

Joe Root takes the new cherry and brings Chris Woakes back into the attack.

Not much movement for the England seamers yesterday.
