  1. WI 72-4

    Target 286

    Nkrumah Bonner gets himself off the mark from his 34th ball. There's not much in the pitch for the seamers - time for Joe Root to try a couple more?

  2. WI 68-4

    Minimum 34 overs remaining

    Just the single from Leach's over. Every ball has the fielders round the bat jumping around like overexcited schoolchildren - although reality is Jason Holder navigated the over pretty easily.

    Alphonse Rawlinson: Jack Leach on fire, your forward defence is terrified!

  4. WI 67-4

    Nkrumah Bonner is hanging in there, yet to get off the mark from 30 balls.

    Another Craig Overton maiden drifts by, like the warm up act to the main event that is Jack Leach at the other end.

  5. WI 67-4

    Minimum 36 overs remaining

    Jason Holder is a man used to pressure and responsibility - just the man West Indies need at the crease to bring a little calm and clear thinking.

    Joe Root has five fielders around the bat to Leach now. Great viewing.

    What an appalling shot by Blackwood. West Indies aren’t going to capitulate, surely?

    WICKET

    Blackwood lbw b Leach 2 (WI 67-4)

    Leach has another, but is helped out by some rather diabolical shot selection.

    The ball has been spinning and bouncing awkwardly, but this was just a standard straight one that Blackwood swings across the line at, and replays show the ball crashing into leg stump.

    Bizarre.

  8. There's no bat ...

  9. West Indies review

    Jack Leach is causing all sorts of problems.

    Blackwood takes a HUGE swipe across the line at a straight one, is pinned in front and the finger goes up ... but he reviews immediately.

    We go upstairs, again.

  10. WI 65-3

    An uneventful over passes by. Are West Indies going to go into full-on defensive mode now?

  11. Right then. Food talk aside (that never lasts long with me) - let's get back to the cricket.

    Craig Overton has the ball and has Nkrumah Bonner in his sights.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Antigua

    It feels as if West Indies are out of the hunt now. It’s simply impossible to score at a rate on this mattress of a pitch. If England can take seven wickets to win it would be a remarkable effort and also, I suggest, a serious collapse by Windies.

  13. Thanks, Harry. Let's hope we're in for a cracking finish.

    I highly doubt my tea (or dinner, depending on where you live) was as exciting as what will be on offer for the teams in Antigua right now.

  14. With all this excitement I may need a lie down, Ffion Wynne has finished her tea and is chomping at the bit to tell a tale of England winning in the West Indies.

    Stay with us. 'Root's reset' could be a tale to tell your grandchildren. I'll leave you in a stream of positivity and optimism!

  15. After days of drab, dull, docile cricket on a pitch pushing towards Rawalpindi in the recent 'cricket pitches playing like motorways' category, we could have a sensational finish at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.

    The declaration came as a surprise 20 minutes before lunch and the 10 minutes before the break were fruitless.

    But since Brathwaite's unfortunate lbw to Stokes, England have been superb and are sniffing their first Test win at this venue now.

  16. The Windian wall, their answer to Rahul Dravid, Nkrumah Bonner is still there though, he is England's major concern here.

    Blackwood and Holder we know like to play their shots, though both have history of hundreds against England and can be mightily frustrating batters.

    Without Mark Wood (or Broad, Anderson, Robinson or Archer) that really was an impressive session of bowling from this England side.

  17. Mark Ramprakash
    Former England batter on BT Sport

    That wicket will give England some impetus going into the final session.

  18. After all the troubles Jack Leach has had with Crohn's disease, sepsis and bubble fatigue in recent years it really is great to see him jumping jubilantly celebrating wickets again.

    The England side clearly have a lot of love for their spinner too - great to see.

    He's bowling better and better the longer this game goes on, he could be key here. England on top at tea.

  19. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BT Sport

    I'm very happy for Jack Leach. His patience and perseverance has been rewarded.

  20. Ian Bishop
    Former West Indies pace bowler on BT Sport

    That is a timely blow for the West Indies, on the stroke of tea. A wonderful catch from Zak Crawley.
