The teams are taking early tea. We'll be back with you shortly. Still puh-lenty of fun to be had. Anderson. Archer. Wood. Hope. Brathwaite and considering how well he's done already, do you really want to be the one ruling out Jason Holder getting a match-defining hundred? Stick around!

3.50pm Jason Holder, fittingly, holds the ball aloft and leads his WI side off the field. Six wickets and some excellent reviews to boot. Both Holder and Gabriel were injury concerns for the visitors ahead of this Test, but they've stepped up brilliantly to share the ten wickets between them. Having said that, Bess' cameo has hauled England past 200. The pitch still has something for the bowlers, and England's quicks will fancy bowling on this. Plus, WI's batting isn't in great shape either. Be back shortly for WI's response.

Richard Demarch: "I need to go back and find everyone who said England wouldn't get 200 and point out how silly they were. Although worried about how many WI might get on here watching Bess and Jimmy play quite nicely..."
