    West Indies must feel pretty pleased with themselves that they can bring out a man who scored 202 not out last time England played here.

  2. WI 340-5

    Jack Leach races through another over. The spinner tends to bowl a ripper every couple of overs or so. But there's little happening in-between.

    Had Joseph's wicket fallen early in the day, England could have latched onto the momentum. But Windies are in control here.

    It may only be the nightwatchman, but at least it's a wicket for England. Joseph has done his job to last 75 balls for his 19 - though he was possibly a bit ambitious trying to force a short ball through the off-side. England really need to hustle out these last five wickets - remember they still have a big lead.

  4. WI 340-5

    Jason Holder finally strides out to the middle. He is off the mark with a streaky boundary through the slip cordon.

    Stokes looks up at the skies in frustration.

    WICKET

    Joseph c Lawrence b Stokes 19 (WI 336-5)

    This is not a drill. I repeat - this is not a drill.

    Ben Stokes has found the breakthrough and it's a smart grab from Dan Lawrence.

    Alzarri Joseph slices to backward point. The ball is travelling at some pace. Lawrence shows quick reflexes to take a catch at throat height.

  6. WI 336-4

    On this very pitch in 2009... England declared on 600-6. West Indies replied with 749-9. England scored 279-2 in their second innings.

    Here's the scorecard if you want a ganders.

    That's 1,628 runs scored in five days. Tells you everything you need to know.

    Last time England were here, they had one day without any wickets. In this Test, they've taken one wicket in the last 90 overs, the equivalent of a day's play.

  8. WI 335-4

    Sigh. This pitch is offering Ben Stokes nothing. Absolute zilch.

    Shall we address the elephant in the room? There is no way this won't be a draw, right?

  9. How's stat?!

    I continue to be puzzled by the field set for Jack Leach. The left-arm spinner has been given an identical field to the off-spinner Dan Lawrence.

  11. WI 333-4

    Leach could be criticised for his lengths yesterday but he's been bowling a tad fuller today and has found sharp turn.

    The spinner completes another maiden. Not much happening out there but at least the triple Nelson score is pleasing on the eyes.

  12. WI 333-4

    On comes Ben Stokes. Brathwaite greets him with a delightful boundary. The opener softens his hands and guides a shin-height delivery down to the third-man boundary.

    The partnership reaches 49.

  13. 6 runs

    WI 329-4

    I was just about to write that Dan Lawrence bowls a wholly uneventful maiden. And then Alzarri Joseph pulls an ugly short ball. It sails over the head of Matt Fisher at deep square-leg and clears the rope. It's Windies' first six of the innings.

    We say this so often in England Tests, but Joe Root could and maybe should have bowled himself a bit more this innings. He has three overs to his name.

  14. WI 323-4

    Dot balls. Six of 'em.

    You have to feel for Ben Foakes' vocal chords. The wicketkeeper has been chirping away all morning.

  15. WI 323-4

    Trail by 184 runs

    Loose delivery from Lawrence. Loopy, full and wide as Brathwaite drives to mid-off for three.

    Jason Holder is still padded up, by the way. He cuts a relaxed figure while watching on from the boundary.

  16. WI 320-4

    Leach continues. England had an opportunity to take the nightwatchman's wicket early in the session and gain some momentum. But Joseph has been very watchful. One from the over.

    This is Matt Fisher's girlfriend, Tasha, and his brother Mark. You can hear from them in yesterday's Test Match Special podcast, talking about Matt growing up, the influence their late father Phil had on them, and the famous bet placed nearly ten years ago that one day Fisher would play for England.

  18. WI 319-4

    Joseph throws the kitchen sink at a full delivery. It goes looping down to third man and Windies take two.

  19. The short rain delay is over! We're back on and Dan Lawrence has one delivery remaining.

    This is an interesting approach from Alzarri Joseph. Last night when he should have been blocking, he played shots. This morning when he can play shots, he's blocking.
