Joe Root, sat with a wide-legged stance and glugging from a bottle of water, watches on from the balcony. He won't want to move from there.
Tight and tidy over from Jayden Seales. Maiden.

Number 41: Bat for 120 overs, get a lead of 300, bowl WI out in 60 overs. Simple.

Eng 1-0
England fans, you can breathe a sigh of relief! Too much movement from Roach as replays show it was going down leg side.
England reviewpublished at 14:23 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2022
Oh dear. Crawley trapped in front. Huge appeal from Roach and it's given.
Lees and Crawley confer and opt to review. They don't look overly confident but could it be going down leg?
What a blow to England will this be.

Trail by 63 runs
Lavvvverly bowling from Roach! A length ball which reels the debutant into a swing and a miss. Misses the outside edge by a whisker.
Lees and England off the mark with a single.
Eng 0-0published at 0.1 overs
Roach finds some away movement but too wide outside off to trouble Lees.

Correction - it's Alex Lees on strike.
Slight delay as a fella pushes the light roller up and down the pitch as if it's a rolling pin working on some shop-bought puff pastry.
Right, here we go.

West Indies hover by the boundary rope in a huddle before making their way to the middle. We saw Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales bowl brilliantly at the start of day one. They will be hoping for more of the same today.
It will be Roach to open the bowling. Crawley on strike.

BBC cricket correspondent in AntiguaI don't expect the pitch to be any worse than it has been over the last couple of days - it's all a question now of whether England can overcome their batting frailties.

Having had days two and three off, where not all that much happened, I sit back into the live text hot-seat and deliver you a wicket within three balls. You're welcome.
Debutant Alex Lees scored just four in the first innings. He'll have another stab at proving his skill when he and Zak Crawley trudge out for England shortly.

BBC cricket correspondent in AntiguaEngland have got an awful lot of batting to do today and into tomorrow.

Seales lbw b Leach 0 (WI 375 all out)
First job of the day done for England.
It was drifted in from Jack Leach. Didn't turn all that much and Seales played it like a solid number 11.
West Indies lead by 64. How important will that be?
West Indies reviewpublished at 14:02 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2022
WI 375 all out
Well, that didn't take long! An lbw shout from Leach and the finger goes up.
Jayden Seales reviews straight away.
WI 375-9published at 157.1 overs
Well wide of the off stump. Beats batter and 'keeper as Windies take two byes.

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BT SportThe way the top-order England batters were dismissed in the first innings will be exactly how the West Indies bowlers will try to dismiss them in the second innings.
The pitch won't matter for them until after they get the first three wickets. They then have to think how they get the rest of them out quickly enough for a low enough total to chase down in time.
Postpublished at 14:00 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2022
Looks like it will be Jack Leach first up for England today. The sun is piercing through the Antigua clouds. How quickly can they wrap up this innings?

Former England batter on BT SportEngland's players have got to look at how Bonner batted yesterday and ask themselves if they can learn from him.
He left brilliantly and was really disciplined. The balls Bonner has been leaving are ones that Crawley has been playing at.
Postpublished at 13:53 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2022
So what happened yesterday?
Nkrumah Bonner set his stall with 123 from 355 balls and the West Indies tail wagged as the hosts ended on 373-9.
To make matters worse, England lost fast bowler Mark Wood to injury.
I'll say it as it is - it's been a very slow paced (some may say dull) Test at times. But the good news is that all results are still possible. I have a feeling today will be a good one!
