5.47pm Well, I thought they might get five overs, actually it'll be six. Anderson, on 497 Test wickets, and Broad, set to give it their all against a demoralised oppposition. The nominal target is 322 ... don't go far!

Holder to Woakes, no run, wide of off stump, and blow me down, England have declared!

Ramble: "Those 1948 Aussies must have been really something to so easily beat such a strong England side. Some giants of English cricket in the line-up. Didn't they (Australia) go unbeaten the whole tour?" They call them the Invincibles, so there's something in that rumour

Holder to Woakes, 2 runs, clipped on the up to long-on, and they hurtle back for the second run

Six fielders on the boundary now for Woakes

Holder to Broad, 1 leg bye, round the wicket, Broad does enough to escape the strike
140.3

Holder to Woakes, 1 run, too wide, and Woakes frees his wrists to flash this one out through point

Holder to Woakes, FOUR, crashed on the up and through the covers! Not a terrible ball from Holder, just a touch too full, and mullahed to the rope

Eric: "When was the last time a team lost despite scoring the only two centuries in a test?" Dunno, but it ain't going to happen in this match

Holder to Woakes, FOUR, Short and wide, flogged gleefully through the leg side. 76mph, Holder's fight is draining before our eyes...

Bishoo to Broad, no run, big turn from outside off, Broad is surprised by that one, but survives

This is the highest score England have ever made without a hundred (so far...)

139.5

Bishoo to Woakes, 1 run, firmly driven, through the gap in the covers, and that is a brilliantly worked fifty. Woakes once again showing his value at No.9.

Marcel Schouten: "As a born South African and a historic West Indies fan, I have to mention that I love to see how England approaches test cricket. I am a wee bit little jealous. What a test!" I'd have preferred a quick clatter of wickets after Moeen's cameo, to be greedy. I fear this is very nearly over as a contest...

Holder to Broad, no run, round the wicket, banged in short. Broad isn't sure he wants to stay in line, but just about does so to defend
