    14.6 that's another loose stroke and England are three-down! Full length from Roach, just a hint of movement back into the left-hander, there's a yawning gap between bat and pad, and he's only gone and grazed an inside-edge to the keeper! 37/3

    47.2 another hard-handed drive, another edge! Bairstow isn't convinced, it was claimed very low at second slip, but the soft signal is out as they are sent upstairs for the verdict... it's very tight, one of those ones that might have been overruled in the old days, but there is "nothing conclusive" to overturn it today, as Holder's fingers envelop the ball, so off he goes! 152/6

Playing the initial line of the ball, but this one turns and skids through, and it's the end of a fighting innings. But golly, back come West Indies! 312/6

Even so, it looked as though it was six all the way, but Brathwaite balanced on the edge of the rope, pocketed the chance as it plopped from the heavens, and managed to avoid over-stepping. Top effort! 303/5
