How good is he?
Coming in while England were in the middle of a potential collapse, he started cautiously - taking 53 balls to hit his first boundary.
Now, he looks unstoppable.

Former England spinnerBack-to-back sixes for Ben Stokes! Jadeja dropped short and Ben Stokes just rocked back and smacked it for six.

Former England spinnerBOOM! That is a superb shot.
England are playing their shots trying to get to some sort of total.
Ben Stokes is playing his best fashion for my mind on a turning pitch.

Ben Stokes reaches his half-century from 69 balls with an almighty six down the ground.
The captain is in the mood.

Former England spinnerMark Wood is playing like Don Bradman! He gives himself room and smokes it through extra cover. He is providing good support.
If England can get up to near 260 they will be a really good position on a turning pitch.

And Mark Wood adds a little insult to injury. He swipes the last ball of the over through the covers for four.
The tail is wagging. What a bonus for England.

An eventful resumption!
Stokes swings at Ashwin, gets a thick edge that just bursts out of the keeper's gloves before looping up past Rohit Sharma at slip, who can't get the rebound effort.
A tough, in-or-out chance for KS Bharat, who has had a very good day behind the stumps before that.

Cheers, Matt.
Ben Stokes resumes on 43. He's pretty good at batting with the tail, isn't he?

The players are heading back out for what will be another crucial little period.
250 will now be the target. That would be about par, I reckon.
Ffion Wynne will take you through the final session.

An absolute seed.
Bairstow had played nicely.

West Indies dig in against Australiapublished at 08:50 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January
Image source, Getty ImagesWest Indies are putting up a fight in Brisbane too.
Kavem Hodge and Joshua da Silva, who came together at 64-5, have shared a partnership of 81 throughout the second session to halt Australia's charge on day one.
They're now at the dinner break in that day-nighter with darkness starting to fall.
Listen to ABC commentary over here if you want to double up on the two Tests at once.

I think against this bowling attack on these pitches anything above 200 will often be an ok score, anything more is a bonus. This series will come down to how well our spinners go.

Given England were 121-3 they could be disappointed with that session.
But since they were also 137-6 they will be delighted to have made it to 215-8.

Well what to make of that?
England have made it to tea on a dicey pitch.

One ball to go in the session....

This over from Jadeja will be the last before tea unless there's a wicket.
