9/186. 72 run partnership, so far. The wicket looks to have dried out nicely for the WIndies innings (provided, of course, they can actually take the last English wicket inside the remaining 4 and a bit days).
Meanwhile, for those who like to reach for their record books, the number 10 and 11 are the top-scorers for England. That must be unusual. It says a fair bit about their dedication and application - and also, of course, about the incompetence of the rest of the batting.
Update - 9/200. This is getting silly, now.
Further update - All out for 204. Stumps on Day 1.
Further, further update - the Fox commentators reckon the only other time the number 10 and 11 were the top-scorers for their team in a Test innings was in 1885. |

Slept through this.... been a hectic few days.
Should have rolled them for 150 max! Still, a pretty strong position for the Windies here.
Windies $1.85
Poms $2.85
Draw $5.75
Can cash out both bets now for a small (10%) overall gain... an astute pro punter would probably take that after day 1... not me  , let it ride

Lovely start by these 2, 0/50 after 17 and looking comfortable.

Say that, one keeps low and they're 1/50... Braithwaite out.

Chris Woakes really enjoying his promotion to attack leader, albeit by default.

| Da Silva brings up his 50 with a 4. He's 52*, Roach is 16* and the West Indiesis 8/221. That's a lead of 17. The new ball was taken a couple of overs ago. It's a shame they didn't catch Leach on 10 yesterday (he was dropped in slip) - this could have been a substantial lead. |
