    Andy C: Ah, I know we can't say a lot until both teams have had a bat and collapses can always happen but its not looking great for England.

    There's still movement. Craig Overton was rather rooted to the crease, but the ball did come back at him. Nice bowling again from Kemar Roach.

    That man Kemar Roach. You can't keep him out of the game. That one came back a long way to breach the defence of Craig Overton. England have slumped into more trouble. They are struggling badly.

    You're a step closer to seeing West Indies bat, Andy.

    It is more good bowling from Kemar Roach as he gets one to nip back sharply and crash into the top of Craig Overton's middle stump.

    Overton is so late on the shot - it is practically through him before he's even moved.

    Andy Harley: You never know what a truly good score is until both teams have batted. Desperate but true.

    I love Jason Holder. How can you not?

    He's up in appeal, arms up, screaming for a strangle down the leg side from Chris Woakes, but he can't interest anyone in a review.

    It's a good job too. It's nowhere near the bat.

    West Indies have bowled well, but England's batting is so fragile. The techniques and mindsets we see from the players you are not surprised to see this happening when the ball is moving around.

    It's an important distinction to make that the conditions are very different here compared to the previous two Tests. They are very bowler-friendly conditions, but the West Indies have used them very well.

  9. Eng 89-7published at 41 overs

    Four more.

    Chris Woakes climbs into some width from Kemar Roach and drives away to the boundary.

    It does feel like the momentum has slightly swung in the last few minutes. It's just a shame England lost four wickets while it was swinging the other way.

    The run rate is looking a bit better! Unfortunately the Ben Stokes dismissal started things and there's been some good bowling since. West Indies deserve credit.

    Not going to lie, I missed that over, because somebody came up to me in the office to ask how the game was going.

    "The game is definitely going," was my response. Wow.

    It's another good over for England though with another eight added. That century mark isn't too far off.

    The delivery to Ben Foakes nipped back off the seam a good amount, but Foakes should have been forward to it.

  14. Eng 77-7published at 39 overs

    Woakes 8, Overton 9

    A productive over for England with eight runs coming off it.

    Chris Woakes slashed down to third man and that resulted in Windies bringing that man into the slip cordon, and Craig Overton took advantage by slapping over the waiting catchers and to the boundary.

    We've just said "let's hope they get to 100, it's not as bad then". We've got low expectations.

    England have now lost seven wickets for 44 runs in good bowling conditions which the West Indies have used very well.

    Just in case you're just joining us for the first time today - I know a lot of you may have just clocked off work.

    England lost the toss today and were put into bat by West Indies.

    They managed to get to 23-0 and they are now 67-7. No, this isn't a nostalgic live from days gone by- It's happening again.

    They were 46-3 at lunch too, so they've lost 4-21 in the 50 minutes since the interval.

    The wickets continue to fall. That was a beautiful ball from Jayden Seales and had just enough to beat the tentative defence of Ben Foakes. It angled back in at him. England's batters are coming and going thick and fast. They need some sort of resilience and fightback now.

    I told you, don't take your eyes off this.

    To be fair to Ben Foakes - he's got a good one.

    Jayden Seales finds movement back in and it crashes through Foakes - in between bat and pad - and it clips the top of middle stump. Good luck playing that.

    Jord Gurr: England players laughing and joking on the bench is shocking after their unacceptable performances

  20. Eng 67-6published at 37 overs

    You can't take your eyes off this for a single ball at the moment.

    Chris Woakes has a massive waft at a wide ball before Alzarri Joseph gets one to keep a little bit low and beat the England all-rounder on the outside edge.

    Don't go anywhere. Just have the cushion ready so you can hide!
