  1. WI 385-7published at 169 overs

    West Indies still trail by 122 runs with three wickets left. If England could just knock the tail over quickly...

    Brilliant piece of bowling. We've seen quite a few of those throughout the innings which didn't bring him any rewards. A magnificent effort from the West Indies captain comes to an end. A standing ovation from everyone here at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.

    Brathwaite b Leach 160 (WI 385-7)

    Bowled 'im! Kraigg Brathwaite's marathon knock is ended by a beauty from Jack Leach which spins to beat the bat and hit the top of off.

    Finally, after 489 balls and 11 hours, Brathwaite is out.

  4. WI 383-6published at 168 overs

    Ben Stokes walked off the field at the end of that over and booted something when entering the dressing room. It has been that kind of day.

    Fisher, who I am still maintaining could play a butler or Lance Corporal in a period drama, plugs away with no success.

    This Test... Brutal.

    We almost jinxed him! Kraigg Brathwaite edges his 484th delivery through the slips.

    Ben Stokes is furious. He almost bowls Brathwaite with the next ball too.

  6. WI 375-6published at 18:38 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2022

    Brathwaite 159, Da Silva 14

    Well Mike in The New Forest, I'm glad you asked.

    The slowest Test double hundred in Tests was by Brendon Kuruppu for Sri Lanka on debut against New Zealand in 1987.

    That came from 548 balls and in 777 minutes. Kraigg Brathwaite will smash that record if he gets there. He has faced 481 balls already.

    What is the longest time it's taken a player to score a double ton in a Test I wonder?

  8. WI 374-6published at 165 overs

    A good over from Ben Stokes after drinks ends with Joshua da Silva driving to Jack Leach in the covers. There was a bit of swing in that over and a delivery that beat the edge.

  9. drinks break

    Kraigg Brathwaite's innings will soon break the 12-hour mark. How far could I have travelled in the time I have been watching him? I could have got a lot of life admin done.

    Time for a drink.

    England are one wicket away from breaking through. They've still got a lead of well over 100, but they need their bowlers to do the business with this new ball.

  11. WI 369-6published at 163 overs

    Brathwaite 153, Da Silva 9

    You won't be surprised to learn the third new ball has not broken rank from its friends and hooped around corners.

    England have taken the third new ball. Ben Stokes is going to get first dibs with it.

  13. WI 368-6published at 162 overs

    Matthew Fisher and Joe Root both had their hands on their heads after the shout was turned down.

    Thankfully for England's mood the technology shows it would have missed leg stump anyway.

  14. WI 336-6published at 161.1 overs

    Oooo. Oooo. Ooooo!

    Matt Fisher pleads for an lbw of Kraigg Brathwaite after hitting pad with his first delivery of a new spell.

    England are out of reviews.

    There's a long way to go today it seems. I'm happy to offer relationship advice if required.

    Ben Stokes groans in utter dismay as Da Silva edges for four. The third new ball is available but England are yet to take it.

    The rain delay means that tea will be taken at 19:30 GMT, with play going possibly as late as 22:12 this evening (though light is likely to be an issue before then).

  17. WI 361-6published at 160 overs

    Looking further into the stats it is actually only the fifth time both captains have scored 150s in the first innings of a Test.

    I feel we've provided a service here.

    Any more questions? Maybe we should start a Dear Henry agony aunt/uncle chat.

  18. WI 360-6published at 159 overs

    Brathwaite 150, Da Silva 3

    So little is happening on the field - Ben Stokes returned and bowled a maiden - that we've looked that one up straight away.

    It was Dinesh Chandimal and Virat Kohli in a Test in Delhi in 2017. Kohli scored 243 and Chandimal 164.

    In unsurprising news, the match ended in a draw.

    One for the stats man. When was the last time both captains scored 150 in the first innings of a Test?

    I don't blame them. I know of two people who are in Barbados for this game. Neither of them like cricket. What a waste.

    Mahmood has Brathwaite in his sights now but can't trouble the West Indies captain like he has Da Silva.
