This lunch break is dragging. Just me who only wants to see the Stokes Show restart?

Pope, Robinson, Parkinson and Wood are out on the outfield doing some running drills during lunch.

Pope was the quickest one over a long distance, and is the only one still out there.

Ben Stokes scored his 5,000th Test run in that session.

He got to the landmark with an extraordinary six, almost hit on one leg off Alzzari Joseph.

Stokes joins an exclusive club of players to have scored 5,000 runs and taken 150 wickets in Tests.

Garry Sobers, Jacques Kallis, Ian Botham and Kapil Dev are the other members.

Simeon: You'd have to say, England have probably just about edged that morning session.

England played that absolutely right. Joe Root plays his usual way, and Ben Stokes will now be looking to take West Indies to the cleaners after lunch. They picked up the scoring rate as the game went on - the travelling England fans could be in for an entertaining afternoon session.

Not often does a player play second fiddle while reaching 150 in a Test.

That's what happened to Joe Root in that session.

England added 125 runs - 89 from Stokes and 32 from Root.

Some of the six-hitting was brutal.

He's back.

Boy, is he back...

Thanks Tim!

Well, I hope Matthew Henry can bring you something quite as thrilling as that in the afternoon session. He'll pick things up from this point.

Dukkhaboy: Ben stokes batting like this on day 2 is why we should be applauding Alex Lees 30 off 138 balls on day one.

A little bit irritated by the bowling. West Indies have unraveled in the past hour. That over from Alzarri Joseph where they tried to counter attack against Ben Stokes with the ball shows where they went wrong. England's batters have put themselves in a really good position.

Well, that was fun wasn't it?

Ben Stokes unbeaten on 89 while Joe Root is 151 not out.

Kraigg Brathwaite has decided to take some of the heat off his bowling attack with his part-time off-spin before lunch.

However, Joe Root takes the majority of the strike and Stokes is denied the chance at bagging himself a century before the lunch break.

My colleague Jack Skelton informs me Stokes has scored 100+ runs in the first session before (against South Africa in Cape Town) in 2016. Brian Lara is the only men's cricketer to have done it twice.

Meanwhile Joe Root has brought up his 150 with a poke down the ground to long-on off Jason Holder.

Jason Holder is the answer to Kraigg Brathwaite's request for someone to attempt to put the brakes on this brutal and brilliant innings from Ben Stokes.

All-rounder to all-rounder.

Respect from Stokes to his counterpart as he puts the flamboyant strokeplay away for a moment, and is content to punch Holder for a single through the covers.

Incredible from Ben Stokes. He draws his willow back and pummels Alzarri Joseph for a straight six back over his head.

That takes him past 5,000 Test runs for England.

Poor Kraigg Brathwaite doesn't know where to turn next.

More fireworks from Ben Stokes who might have a glimmer of a hundred before lunch against a flagging West Indies attack if he continues at this rate.

Three consecutive boundaries off Alzarri Joseph. First he pings it through cover, then hoicks it through long on and a club through mid-wicket.

Been some finesse from Stokes, but that was pure power. He's absolutely dominating here.

Stokes is up to 81 off 88 balls.
