5.35pm Well, it's been a spirited but error-strewn showing from West Indies. Four spirit-crushing drops, including Root once and Ben Stokes twice. But they've battled back to bowl England out for 258, which is only ten runs more than Root and Alastair Cook added for England's third wicket at Edgbaston last week. Back shortly to see if they can carry that fight into their batting ...

taz: "Mike Atherton has pretty much the same number of ducks as Broad in about the same number of matches. Doesn't seem like Broad is much worse than Atherton then... " That'll be stats for you. They can be devious little so-and-sos

Roach to Woakes, OUT, edged and gone! England's tail goes meekly, as Roach picks up one of the hardest-earned four-wicket hauls of all time. Good carry outside off, a loose flash from a batsman keen to keep the scoreboard moving

Roach to Woakes, no run, wide on the crease, but defended with confidence on the off stump. What can Woakes do to reinflate England's innings?

David from Guya: "Getting ENG all out might not be such an awesome thing. I really don't think WI would want to bat tonight. " Valid ... A lot of play still scheduled tonight

Broad (23) has now leapfrogged Anderson (22) as the most ducked England batsman. It's a quack attack!

Gabriel to Anderson, no run, beats the edge, quite an over!

Geetha: "Broad has become so lily-livered as a batsman, he should bat at No. 12." He's not the man he used to be, as the Fine Young Cannibals once put it. And bowlers the world over are eating him alive these days. With a nice chiante, no doubt.

Gabriel to Broad, OUT, tremendous bowling! Hugely well deserved wicket, as Broad is completely cleaned up by a pinpoint yorker. Crashes into the middle stump, and England are nine-down!
