Samuels to J Anderson, FOUR, another cracking back foot shot from Anderson, the length is short and Anderson cuts hard through cover, that should please Anderson
109.1 -
Jerome Taylor to J Anderson, FOUR, hello! What is that Jimmy? He charges Jerome Taylor and drags the big hit wide of mid-wicket, mistimed but beats the chasing fielder
108.5 -
J Holder to Jordan, FOUR, good looking square drive, Holder gave the width and Jordan latched on. Got forward and drove it wide of the diving point
107.5 -
Roach to J Anderson, FOUR, Anderson has flayed that. It wasn't a bad ball at all. On a good length and outside off, Anderson rocked back and made room to crack that past point. Superb timing and the Englishmen in the crowd clap
106.0 -
Roach to Jordan, FOUR, Roach hides his face with his hands after the ball runs away to the deep square leg fence. Overpitched on the pads, Jordan flicks over mid-wicket and that will be a eye-catching boundary
105.2 -

105.0 -

91.4 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, FOUR, delicately played by Stokes. Waits on the length ball and then steers it to the left of gully, who dived but couldn't get there, raced away
88.1 -
Roach to Bell, FOUR, I have lost count of the number of short and wide deliveries outside off from West Indies in this session. Also the number of late-cuts Bell has played. Another one of those and he gets four to deep point. Really shambolic stuff from the tiring West Indian bowlers
87.1 -
J Holder to Stokes, no ball, FOUR, this is very poor bowling. Holder oversteps and what's worse bowls it wide outside off, gives Stokes a chance to dab that with an open face and the Durham man does just that, getting it down to the vacant third man fence
86.0 -
J Holder to Bell, FOUR, runs are flowing like a river now. Short and wide outside off, Bell went after it and toe-ended the cut into the gap wide of the slip cordon. It races away and leaves Holder a disappointed man
85.5 -
J Holder to Bell, FOUR, beautiful cover drive. Holder knew that he bowled a bad delivery, he grunted in disappointment after bowling too full, a eased cover drive, into the gap at cover, Chanders give a spirited chase from mid-off, but fails to rein it in
85.0 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, FOUR, that's the best of the lot. Hat-trick of boundaries. Jerome Taylor guilty of overpitching and Stokes presents a lovely full face to punch the on-drive past the left-hand of the bowler. All timing and quickly Stokes races onto 64
84.5 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, FOUR, but still the result is the same. Dug in short and sits up nicely for Stokes to pull. The batsman was waiting for it, I guess and leathers the pull over mid-wicket. Held the pose after swivelling
84.4 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, FOUR, flashed away. Plenty of width for Stokes as he crouches low and flays a flat-batted cut past point. The width given from Jerome Taylor there made Stokes' job easier
83.0 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, FOUR, smashed by Stokes. This lad can bat and bat really well. Overpitched and wide outside off, Stokes leans into the cover drive, bends his knee and hammers it through the covers
82.4 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, FOUR, short on the hips and Stokes puts it away, swivels on the shot and pulls it down to the deep backward square fence
81.4 -
Roach to Bell, FOUR, 'two' was the call from Bell but he has got four for it. This short ball rose high outside off, Bell swivelled and just rolled his wrists on the pull, tapped it down and it beat the chasing fielder. Timing was excellent and that's why the fielder had no chance
81.1 -
Roach to Bell, FOUR, new ball has gone for four first ball. It was poorly delivered by Roach, short and outside off, Bell dismissed it with a hard pull over mid-wicket. Emphatic blow
76.5 -
Benn to Stokes, FOUR, down leg and Stokes is on the sweep, kneels down and gets it down to deep backward square leg, no-one there and Stokes helped himself
71.2 -
Samuels to Bell, FOUR, 100 for Bell! But he should've been out there. Risky stroke as he dabbed the widish delivery past slip, who was moving to his right and the ball eluded his grasp. Went the wrong way and it was Devon Smith. He anticipated the shot and went to his right, was wrong-footed. Races away and the England camp are up to applaud Bell who raises his bat to them
67.2 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, FOUR, fabulous shot. Even Jerome Taylor knows that it was a fine stroke. It was on a length and outside off, Stokes opened the face of the bat and guided that past point. Pure timing and the ball raced away
67.2 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, no ball, FOUR, Jerome Taylor oversteps. Dug in short and outside off, Stokes was quick to latch on and pulls powerfully over mid-wicket. Stokes is a good player of the pull/hook and it is not advisable to bowl short to him
66.1 -
Benn to Bell, FOUR, Bell is into the nineties with a beautiful late cut. The room wasn't there, but he rcoked back and tapped that past backward point. The chasing fielder slid and did an awkward job, failed to pull it back
65.2 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Stokes rides the bounce and taps the ball on its head, beats the diving point to his left, is off the mark with a four

Benn to Bell, FOUR, another short ball from Benn, Bell rocks back and cuts well, puts it in the gap between point and cover and it races away to the fence

56.2 -
Samuels to J Root, FOUR, flicked from outside off stump, the ball goes to the right of mid-on and the timing was very good on that. Both batsmen are showing positive intent
56.0 -
J Holder to Bell, FOUR, again the ball jags back off the surface but Bell adjusted well to get on top of the bounce and cut this back of a length ball past gully
55.0 -
Samuels to J Root, FOUR, flighted delivery from Samuels, Root flicks it wide of mid-on and straightaway he starts to hurt West Indies
52.0 -
J Holder to J Root, FOUR, too short from Holder and Root is quick to latch on. Rocks back and pulls through mid-wicket. Played it down too
50.0 -
J Holder to J Root, FOUR, fabulous shot to get to fifty. He is happy and has a smile on his face. Laps up all the applause and raises his bat to acknowledge the cheers. It was a length ball and Root got forward and punched that on the rise, past the diving mid-on. Superb execution and deserved way to get to a landmark
49.3 -
J Holder to J Root, FOUR, fine cut shot. Root gets on top of the bounce and controls the cut square of the wicket, point runs and dives to his right but can't get to the ball. Root moves to 47 with that fine boundary
46.5 -
Benn to J Root, FOUR, Root tried that shot in the last over and missed. But this time he has nailed the shot. Takes it from outside off and sweeps powerfully past mid-wicket. Handsome boundary
44.3 -
Benn to J Root, byes, FOUR, well down leg and Root missed the sweep, Ramdin missed too and it beats the anticipating slip who was going to cover for the sweep, the ball goes to his right as he dives to his left
43.5 -
Roach to Bell, FOUR, that is dismissive from Bell. It was on a back of a length and outside off, Bell was in position though and murdered the pull wide of mid-on. Authoritative from Bell as he eyes a big hundred
41.2 -
Roach to Bell, FOUR, misfield at mid-wicket and that will be four to Bell. Brathwaite the man, who dives to his right and went down too early, the ball eludes him and runs away. That should've been stopped. Nicely flicked though by Bell from middle and leg
40.1 -
Benn to Bell, FOUR, Bell gets to fifty. Peter Moores claps. Root shakes Bell's hand. It was dragged down short, Bell rocks back and pulls wide of mid-wicket. Nice innings from Bell who has looked the best England batsman on view
38.0 -
Roach to J Root, FOUR, cut and over the leaping Bravo at slip. Short and wide outside off, Root flashed hard and that enabled the thick edge to fly past the man at first slip. Bravo went airborne but the ball was always winning the race. Didn't even get a finger on it
37.1 -
Roach to Bell, FOUR, Roach has his hands on his head. Bell gets forward and opens the face of the bat on the square drive, in the air, but in the gap at point, wide of Benn at gully. Races away. False stroke but Bell gets away
36.0 -
Roach to Bell, FOUR, now drifts onto middle and leg, Bell gets inside the line and clips it to fine leg. Easy pickings and Roach is a disappointed man. Kicks the turf in disgust. Knew that he bowled a bad delivery
34.5 -
Jerome Taylor to Bell, FOUR, beautiful from Bell. Even Jerome Taylor looks impressed. It was close to his body to be playing that, had no room, but somehow Bell has steered that into the gap at fourth slip, well in control and left the fielders motionless
33.0 -
Jerome Taylor to Bell, FOUR, that is Bell at his very best. It was a floaty outswinger, Bell reached out and drove it with an open face past cover. The ball scooted away. Classy from Bell as he asks for a change in his helmet after getting the boundary. Was on the walk as he played that, but was always in control
32.1 -
Jerome Taylor to Bell, FOUR, no third slip and that will be a boundary to Bell. Jerome Taylor produced the outside edge as Bell drove at a full delivery outside off, not sure whether it would've carried though. Runs away to the boundary. Bell opened the face on that but still it took the edge
29.4 -
Benn to J Root, FOUR, poor bowling from Benn, drags another down short outside off, Root rocks back and cuts in the gap between point and cover-point. The ball races away beating the two fielders
29.1 -
Benn to J Root, FOUR, square leg hasn't picked it up at all. The man in the deep didn't sight the ball and when he did it had gone to the boundary. Low full toss outside off, Root swept it through mid-wicket and got a four
28.5 -
Jerome Taylor to Bell, FOUR, dug in short and Bell won't miss out. Swivels on the pull and gets it behind square, down to the deep backward square leg fence. Controlled it well and rolled his wrists on it to keep the shot down
26.5 -
Jerome Taylor to Bell, FOUR, wrong line from Jerome Taylor, Bell gets inside the line and tickles it down to fine leg, just had to get bat on the down leg delivery and did just that
18.3 -
J Holder to J Root, FOUR, in the air and just wide of Benn at gully. It was short and wide outside off, Root reached out and toe-ended the cut, Benn stuck his left-hand out but it was just wide and the ball was travelling too. Would've been a great grab had he managed to clasp that
14.4 -
J Holder to Bell, FOUR, Bell is off the mark off his 20th delivery. Slightly full and outside off, Bell was made to play away from his body, but he square drove that well and found the gap wide of point. Classy stroke from Bell
7.3 -
Roach to Cook, FOUR, first boundary for Cook and he has put that away nicely. Bends his knee, the back knee and gets forward well to drive that past cover. Full face of the bat shown and once he hit the gap, it raced away. That should give Cook a lot of confidence
110.4 -
Samuels to J Anderson, out Caught by J Holder!! Anderson has popped a catch to cover and that's a very soft dismissal. The departing Anderson chunters to himself and runs off. Rocked back to punch and tapped a dolly to cover. The ploy to bring on Samuels has worked. J Anderson c J Holder b Samuels 20(22) [4s-5]
103.3 -
Roach to Broad, out Caught by Blackwood!! Broad too goes for a duck as the West Indies chip away at the wickets. Full and wide outside off, Broad's weight was back and he leant back on the square drive, hit it powerfully but failed to keep the shot down, straight to the fielder at point, who takes a good catch. Roach is seen smiling again. Broad c Blackwood b Roach 0(3)
102.0 -
Roach to Buttler, out Caught by Ramdin!! Windies break through again. Full and outside off, Buttler goes for a square drive, but the bottom-hand takes over and the edge carries nicely to Ramdin's right. Roach is overjoyed and runs away in delight. Buttler is gone for a 22-ball duck. The pressure finally told on the free-stroking Buttler who couldn't resist the tempter. Buttler c Ramdin b Roach 0(22)
98.1 -
J Holder to Tredwell, out Caught by Darren Bravo!! Tredwell nicks off now. Curtly has a smile on his face. Pitched up outside off, in the channel and lures Tredwell into the cover drive, the outside edge carries low to Bravo at first slip who takes it easily. That's where to bowl on this wicket. Tredwell c Darren Bravo b J Holder 8(24)
95.2 -
Jerome Taylor to Stokes, out Caught by J Holder!! Straight to gully. That's a soft dismissal. Perhaps Stokes didn't spot that Holder had moved a bit to his left, steered it straight to the fielder. He walks off raising his bat, but he will be kicking himself for having missed out on a possible hundred - that was there for the taking. Stokes c J Holder b Jerome Taylor 79(95) [4s-11 6s-1]
89.0 -
Roach to Bell, out Caught by Ramdin!! From nowhere Roach produces a beaut to get Bell out. Bowden smiles and raises the crooked finger. Bell walks off to a tremendous standing ovation. Roach angled that in, hits the seam and bounces extra, Bell covered the line, did everything he could but the ball kissed the outside edge and flew to Ramdin. That is simply unplayable. Bell c Ramdin b Roach 143(256) [4s-20 6s-1]
63.2 -
Jerome Taylor to J Root, out Bowled!! The bowling change has worked for West Indies. Back of a length delivery outside off stump, the ball just tails back in at the last moment, Root plays at that away from the body, bit of a nothing shot that as he just put the bat out there with no real intent, because of the shape back into the right-hander, the ball took the inside edge and crashed into leg stump. Against the run of play, England have lost a wicket and Root is crossed with himself. End of a fantastic 177-run stand. Root walks off to a good round of applause. J Root b Jerome Taylor 83(133) [4s-11]
16.5 -
J Holder to Ballance, out Caught by Darren Bravo!! Holder strikes. Third wicket for the West Indies. After leaving so well, he has played a very poor stroke to get out. Nice ploy by the Windies to come round the wicket and test Ballance. Roach did all the hard work, softened him up and now Holder reaps the rewards. It was full and very wide of off, Ballance normally would've left that, but he chose to play a drive, the edge is found and straight to Bravo at first slip who clasps it at around chest height. Throws the ball away in delight. Ballance c Darren Bravo b J Holder 10(46)
8.0 -
Roach to Cook, out Bowled!! Bowled 'im! Roach pumps his fist. That is what West Indies were looking forward to. Roach and Taylor set him up for that dismissal. It was full and around off, Cook went for a big drive and got a thin inside edge that clattered back onto the stumps. Cook looks a bit puzzled as to how that has gotten through. Must say Cook was a bit extravagant there. Maybe the last cover drive must have injected a false sense of security. Cook b Roach 11(28) [4s-1]
0.5 -
Jerome Taylor to Trott, out Caught by Darren Bravo!! Trott falls third ball. Not a happy comeback for him. Trott is shuffling across and needn't have played at that, but in trying to defend after that shuffle he edges straight to first slip. Easy catch for Bravo and Jerome Taylor is jumping around in delight. Trott c Darren Bravo b Jerome Taylor 0(3)
