    Ben Foakes and Chris Woakes back out in the middle. Kemar Roach has the ball in hand. We're ready to get back under way in Bridgetown.

    Great to see Jofra Archer having a net at the Kensington Oval at little earlier. Hopefully he's not too far away from a return.

    Incidentally, his fellow Barbadian Roland Butcher became England's first black Test cricketer 41 years ago this week when he played against West Indies at Bridgetown.

    Here's a great archive photo of Roland in action on his debut. "Our boy, your bat" ran the headline in the newspaper that day.

    It’s started raining and the covers are coming on. But it’s a very brief shower of little more than thirty seconds.

    Phil Watson: This pitch is so much of a road I've driven from my house in Leamington Spa to Calais to pick up some red wine today and England are still batting.

    Kemar Roach, speaking to BT Sport in a flash interview at tea, about moving up to seventh on the all-time list of West Indies wicket takers.

    He said: "It feels good. To pass a legend like Sir Garfield Sobers is a great achievement. We have a lot of work to do on this pitch.

    "I think the change of ends brought a bit of luck. Joe Root missed a straight one and he hasn't done that all innings. The plan to Jonny Bairstow was to bowl straight and that worked. Will it spin? It doesn't usually here, but with the footmarks it might do a bit later on."

    Thanks Matthew. England will want a few overs at West Indies this evening you feel. But with such a short turnaround between Tests they'll want to put a few more overs in the legs of the hosts' bowling attack.

    England's session again - no doubt that.

    What approach will they take this evening? Timothy Abraham will guide you through the rest of the day.

    Turn and bounce from Permaul in the last delivery before tea - a very encouraging sign for England with all these runs on the board, as he's not a big spinner of the ball. Leach will have been very pleased to see that...

    Foakes and Woakes have ensured England will almost certainly reach 500 which was not totally certain at 424-6.

    Coach Paul Collingwood and captain Joe Root are sat side-by-side in the dugout, looking totally relaxed. The session ends with a couple of beauties from Permaul to boost their mood further.

    Cricbae: Brathwaite moon balls are the space programme the Caribbean didn’t know it had.

    Big fan of an outdoor shower at a cricket ground.

    Woakes adds a second boundary in as many overs - this one a edgy cut. I think there was definitely a nudge to get on with it from Wood a few overs ago.

    The boundary also brings up the fifty partnership in a decent enough 83 balls. One more over?

    For the overheating Barmy Army, there's even a shower area at the Kensington Oval to cool off in.

    A reckon Veerasammy Permaul has just turned his second ball of the innings. Jack Leach will like that.

    Six! Maybe there was a message along with that drink delivered by Mark Wood.

    Chris Woakes gets down on one knee and pumps Permaul into the stands.

    At the end of another quiet over Mark Wood wanders on with a drink for the batters. There are 12 minutes to go until tea. I think they would have survived.

    Ben Foakes is wearing a chest guard with two spinners in the attack. He's got a long-sleeve shirt on in Barbados too.

    England are playing positively - I'd have thought they'll want to get 500 before thinking of declaring.

    I don't want to sound too ungrateful but I feel as though my colleague Timothy Abraham stole all the fun today. This session has not been a thriller in comparison to the first.

    There are 20 minutes to go until tea.

  19. Eng 457-6published at 139 overs

    He's not exactly Warnie is Veerasammy Permaul. One may have turned but not too many others. Foakes and Woakes are still happy to just knock the ball around with little aggressive intent.

    Significantly, one ball from Veerasammy Permaul just turned, which might make Joe Root think about batting on a little longer...
