What a performance from James Anderson. His 500th wicket then a best innings return. He leads the team off, with another ball in hand, to a standing ovation in the autumn sunshine. England will need 107 to win the series. Can West Indies cause a few nerves? Will be back in a few minutes to find out

Hypocaust: "Anderson is the oldest pace bowler to take a Test 7-fer since Imran Khan took 7-80 vs West Indies at Georgetown in 1988." Second oldest in last 100+ years

Les: "Another ball in hand? Isn't it the same ball? We've only had 65 overs with it! Or do the umpires now change the ball to provide mementos for bowlers. Great stuff, Jimmy, by the way. And a good job no-one else got a five-for in that innings lest we have a fight over the ball." His 500th wicket damaged the first one when hitting the stumps, it was replaced shortly after and Jimmy claimed it

Anderson to Roach, OUT, he's done it! That's his career best. A full delivery, moves back to beat Roach's inside edge and crashes into middle stump. A display of masterful deliveries ends with another

KAJ Roach b Anderson 3 (28m 11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 27.27

Anderson has 6 for 42. Career-best is 7 for 43

Broad to Gabriel, no run, given caught behind! Gabriel has called the review. Did this take the inside edge. Good length ball which nips back. Not sure he's hit this. Seems to have clipped the back pad. He survives the king pair

The captain played well, but was up against it. Just Gabriel left now. He's on a king pair

W
Broad to Holder, OUT, he's gone now. Tries to take a short ball over the leg side, gets underneath it, the ball comes off the splice - perhaps a touch quicker than he expected - and lobs a simple catch to Anderson coming round from mid-on. The great pair combine

JO Holder c Anderson b Broad 23 (73m 53b 4x4 0x6) SR: 43.39

Kevin: "@Danish. Drop blackwood, move Holder and Chase up one. Add Bishoo and I think we got it." Personally think it's worth sticking with Blackwood, maybe trying to refine the rough edges a touch
