    Sweet Caroline is playing after that wicket... the Barmy Army are singing along... do they believe?

  2. WI 89-4

    Minimum 28 overs left in the day

    Jason Holder the new man in. He opens the face of the bat and edges through that gully region again. This time along the turf.

    WICKET

    Blackwood c Bairstow b Leach 27 (WI 86-4)

    Edged and caught! This is exactly where Jack Leach wanted it to land. He reels Jermaine Blackwood forward. The batter is late in getting his bat down and edges it to Jonny Bairstow, who is on his knees at gully.

    This one isn't over yet!

  4. WI 86-3

    Better from Lawrence. Lots of revs and good bounce as Blackwood shoulders his and allows it go by. Nice leave.

    Blackwood is struck low on the pad, clearly outside the line of leg stump. Ben Foakes is hopping behind the stumps and screaming towards the umpire. We've seen some terrible reviews in this match, but this would have been on another level.,

  5. WI 86-3

    Full and wide from Lawrence. Jermaine Blackwood cannot refuse the invitation. Slapped for four.

    And again. This time it's drilled through cover.

    The match is drifting towards a stalemate.

  7. WI 75-3

    Minimum 29 overs remaining

    Blackwood latches onto some width from Mahmood. Not timed to perfection but enough for West Indies to take two.

    He does middle a drive down to long-on but the ball pulls up in the slow outfield. Three more.

    Runs seem pretty irrelevant , though.

    For those wondering what the pitch might be like in Grenada, my colleague Ali Martin has pointed out that the most recent first class match played there (last month) was over inside three days.

  9. WI 71-3

    For the second time in as many overs, Dan Lawrence comes mightily close to dismissing Kraigg Brathwaite. The opener drives outside off and an inside edge sends the ball darting into the leg side. Brathwaite looks left and right. He has no idea where the ball went.

    "Anything can happen here, lads," Bairstow says.

    Brathwaite meanwhile has faced the most balls in a Test (585) by any West Indies player ever. More than Brian Lara faced for his record 400 not out. Madness.

  10. WI 70-3

    Minimum 32 over remaining

    Saqib Mahmood's beard has been impeccably groomed on each day of this Test. Just an observation.

    Extra bounce from Mahmood but Blackwood is on his toes and stopping the ball dead in its tracks.

    Mahmood returns with one which shapes away from Blackwood who plays and misses. Whatever the outcome today, the seamer been very impressive on his Test debut.

  11. WI 69-3

    England persist with Dan Lawrence after tea. There's a wild swing from Kraigg Brathwaite and he's struck on the back pad. A huge shout from England is turned down. It was going down leg and would have been a pointless review.

    Nevertheless, a rare risky shot choice from Brathwaite. Not what his team need.

  12. Eng 66-3

    There is an air of inevitability about this game already. The pitch offers very little life to Mahmood. England need wickets and they need them soon.

  13. WI 65-3

    Minimum 34.5 overs remaining

    Brathwaite edges but plays with soft hands and into the surface.

  14. Here we go - the final session of the second Test.

    Saqib Mahmood - England's most threatening bowler today - will be bowling to Kraigg Brathwaite.

  15. But Kraigg Brathwaite, as one would expect, dug in. The West Indies skipper is unbeaten on 32 from 87 balls. Jermaine Blackwood is not out on 14 form 57.

    There are 34 overs left. But remember, these two shared a 183-run stand from 411 balls in the first innings.

  16. So what happened in that afternoon session?

    There was an early wicket for Jack Leach who dismissed opener John Campbell for 10.

    Then it was over to debutant Saqib Mahmood who bowled a terrific spell.

    Shamarh Brooks edged the seamer to slip, with Joe Root taking the catch after Zak Crawley juggled it.

    Mahmood then struck again with a cracking delivery to Nkrumah Bonner.

    West Indies were 39-3 and England believed.

  17. Thank you, Matthew.

    Shake hands now? I'm messing. I'll be honest, at the lunch interval I didn't think England would still hold a slim chance of victory by tea. But here we are.

    This could be a loooonng session.

  18. There are 35 overs left in the day, light permitting.

    Whether it turns out to be thrilling or thrill-less Kal Sajad will take you through it.

    Enjoy.

  19. I don't know what sort of omen this is but 65-3 is the exact same score West Indies reached at tea on day five of the first Test.

    That one ended in a draw, obviously. What about this?

    That last delivery from Lawrence was reminiscent of Carl Hooper's delivery to Nasser Hussain in Trinidad. Look it up on YouTube.
