  1. Player reviewpublished at 20.4 overs

    Jack Leach strikes Kraigg Brathwaite low on the pad with a full delivery and it's given out on the field.

    The West Indies skipper immediately reviews.

    A hint of bat?

  2. WI 54-1published at 20.3 overs

    A chance of ends for Jack Leach with two slips and a short leg in place.

    He gets some good revs on the ball and there is a flicker of turn off the pitch to Kraigg Brathwaite.

    Mahmood is a skiddy quick bowler. Like Fisher, not genuinely fast, but the type of bowler who might find some reverse swing later.

  4. WI 54-1published at 20.0 overs

    Matt Fisher has a big grin on his face as he turns to the stands at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown to see the England supporters in full flow behind him.

    A no-ball and a wide from Saqib Mahmood blot his copybook before he finishes the over with a delivery which takes off and Ben Foakes has take at shoulder height.

  5. WI 53-1published at 19.0 overs

    The Barmy Army are in good voice as we meander through to the final half hour or so of play on day two.

    Ben Stokes persists with a full length to Shamarh Brooks who has not had his defences breached yet. One run off the over.

    Leach bowled five overs tidily, but didn't beat the bat - no signs yet of the occasional spin that Permaul found. Think it'll be a case of England having to chisel them out.

  7. WI 52-1published at 18.0

    If Saqib Mahmood has any nerves they are not showing. He bounds in with confidence and starts with four dots.

    Ben Stokes nods approvingly in the slip cordon.

    His fifth ball is short and Kraigg Brathwaite is able to jab it back into the ground, before Mahmood strikes the West Indies skipper on the thigh pad with his final delivery of the over.

    A maiden.

    Saqib Mahmood has a brief chat with Joe Root to set his field before going through some more final warm-ups.

    His first over in Test cricket.

    Is Saqib Mahmood injured or something? Third change is very odd for the fastest bowler in the ground.

  10. WI 52-1published at 17.0 overs

    The shadows are starting to lengthen at the Kensington Oval now as Ben Stokes begins another over.

    The England all-rounder concedes a no-ball but that is the only blemish otherwise in a tight over to Shamarh Brooks.

    Saqib Mahmood, wearing red-rimmed wrap around shades, is going through some loosening exercises down on the boundary.

  11. WI 51-1published at 16.0 overs

    Jack Leach gets one to climb into the shoulder of Shamarh Brooks' bat but he's able to prod it into the ground.

    Next ball is a freebie down the leg side from Leach which Brooks whips round the corner for four.

    11 overs left in the day.

    Leach is on nice and early - he should be able to do more than Permaul on this wicket who doesn't turn the ball as much.

  13. WI 46-1published at 15.0 overs

    No Saqib Mahmood yet, as Joe Root turns to all-rounder Ben Stokes after the drinks break.

    Ian Bishop and Steven Harmison, who know a thing or two about bowling, saying some nice things on commentary about Matt Fisher's first spell in Test cricket.

    Fisher, like Stokes when he scored his hundred, pointed to the sky in tribute to his late father.

    Just one run off that Stokes over.

  14. drinks break

    England will want to winkle another one out before the close.

  15. WI 45-1published at 13.0 overs

    Jack Leach, number 77 on his shirt, has a silly point and two slips in place.

    "Love it Leachy" exclaims Ben Foakes after he turns one away from Kraigg Brathwaite's middle stump past off.

    A probing maiden.

  16. Not outpublished at 20:28 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2022

    Shamarh Brooks survives. The replays suggested Zak Crawley had kind of scooped it up off the turf with the tips of his fingers.

    He knows himself that did not quite carry.

    Brooks does not seem affected at all, and pings Matt Fisher's next ball straight down the ground for four.

  17. Umpire reviewpublished at 12.5 overs

    Four dot balls from Matt Fisher and the a flash of excitement as Shamarh Brooks edges on into the hands of Zak Crawley in the slips.

    England celebrate but Crawley's face seems to suggest this did not carry.

    Soft signal is not out.

  18. WI 41-1published at 12.0 overs

    Not sure if David Merson's knighthood is a real one or not.

    Left it on. Just in case.

    Anyway, Jack Leach has motored through another over of left-arm spin which Kraigg Brathwaite defends stoically. A couple of leg byes from it.

    Sir David Merson: Who are these impostors? What have they done with the real England cricket team?

  20. WI 39-1published at 11.0 overs

    Stifled appeal from Matt Fisher after this third delivery to Shamarh Brooks catches his bat on the way through to striking the pad.

    Fisher, not one who seems to hide his emotions, pulls the kind of face you'd expect of someone who has just got a soaking on the log flume.

    His final delivery hangs outside off stump and a square drive from Brooks is is aerial just out of reach of gully. Gasps of encouragement from England's cordon.
