    I was surprised Lees reviewed it so quickly. Usually that suggests the batter knows he’s hit the ball. He must have hoped that the angle was sending the ball down the leg side. It's too early to make any worthwhile comment about Lees at this level.

  2. Not outpublished at 11 overs

    Eng 25-1

    Impact outside line and sailing over the stumps. Not out. A second poor review in the over. This time by the hosts.

  3. West Indies reviewpublished at 10.6 overs

    Eng 25-1

    Eh?! Crawley struck on the pads by Roach. It's a very muted appeal then, all of a sudden, West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite decides to go for the review.

  4. Eng 25-1published at 10.4 overs

    Out in the same manner in both innings - it's unfair to judge a man in just one Test, but are signs of vulnerability in Lees' game being shown on his debut?

    Joe Root is the new man in and off the mark with a single.

    Lees very confidently reviewed that, knowing that there have been seven decisions overturned already this Test match.

    Lees lbw b Roach 6 (Eng 24-1)

    Three reds. A terrible review from Alex Lees. I can only suspect he thought he hit it.

    It was brilliantly set up by Kemar Roach. Having bowled several outswingers to the openers this morning, Roach - just like he did in the first innings - has one swinging in and thudding the pads.

    Lees' England Test debut hasn't gone to plan.

    Eng 24-1

    Ah! Lees looks to be heading back to the dressing room with another single figure score and out lbw to Roach.

    He reviews straight away. I'm not sure why.

    Lees is struck low on the pads, but Holder and his team-mates' appeals are very short lived. The seamer had the ball talking a little too much there - going way down leg.

    Roach with another beauty which shapes away from Crawley and nearly finds the outside edge.

    Jason Holder comes on and bowls a maiden. Eleven of his 21 overs in the first innings didn't concede a run either.

    I'll kick you off with the Get Involved. Many years ago, I took six wickets for Rainham Under-13s. I was given my first (and only) mention in the local paper. They called me Kevin Sajad. Robbed.

    Jamie Haigh: Talking about cricket to the Midwife, as you do.. She says " I used to date a cricketer" We were expecting someone from Downend 2nd XI. She continues , "His name was Shannon Gabriel". She was hanging round the Caribbean as was surprised that "Everyone knew him".

    For any of you who follow boxing, you'll know there has been public outcry over Jack Catterall's loss to Josh Taylor a couple of weeks ago. Boxing fans have called it a robbery. Even the speaker of the House of Commons got involved.

    So it got me thinking... what is the biggest robbery or injustice to occur in cricket? It could be Duckworth-Lewis-Stern related? Michael Kasprowicz's glove? Maybe someone being dropped for an important game? Or it could even be an injustice in a school, local club or garden cricket game!

    This match has largely slumbered for three days, but everyone is watching on the edge of their seats now.

    Trail by 46 runs

    Anything on middle and leg is duly despatched by Crawley this afternoon as he whips another delivery to the mid-wicket boundary.

    Apart from that one play and a miss from Lees earlier, the openers have looked pretty solid.

    There's an England flag with the 'Rob Key Fan Club' etched on it. How do I join?

    A single to Lees who equals his first-innings score of four. England reduce the deficit to 50.

  18. Eng 13-0published at 4 overs

    Lees takes three off Roach courtesy of a back-foot punch to point and Crawley clips into the leg side for three more.

    So, my girlfriend's grandad was best friends with Sir Garfield Sobers. In fact, Sir Sobers is a godparent to her mum.

    I was telling this to someone the other day. His response was "the most shocking thing about this is that you've managed to get a girlfriend." Harsh. But fair.

    Trail by 57 runs.

    Just where Crawley wants it. Full and straight from Roach and the opener leans in and flicks through mid-wicket for four. Easy pickings.

    Crawley helps himself to two more with a push into the off side.
