- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR47.4 edged and gone, brilliant slip catch by the big man Cornwall in the slips! Chase gets Burns again. Slightly full of a length, Burns rocked back to cut and slashed it hard at Cornwall, who stuck out his bucket hands and it nestled in his right mitt! Massive breakthrough for West Indies 122/40.6 big appeal, slanting in from wide of the crease, and it's given! No review from Sibley either, and Kemar Roach has struck in the first over of this Test match. Lovely delivery, angling into the stumps, hitting a good length, and straightening just a touch maybe. Sibley defends after shuffling across his stumps, not having gotten any sort of stride in at all. He faces up with his shoulders open, and perhaps as a result his attempted defensive push slices across the line of the ball, which beats his outside edge and thuds into his pads. Plumb as plumb can be. 1/121.3 got 'im, surely! West Indies are celebrating, it looks like a run-out to me. Burns got back to steer towards third man, Root wanted a quick single that wasn't on, Chase threw at the keeper's end, and his throw just flicked the bail out of its groove. Root would have been safe if it hadn't been a direct hit, but Chase got round brilliantly and Root has to go! 47/234.6 what a delivery, and what a spell this has been from Roach. Most of the swing he's derived in these last few overs has been away from the left-hander, and he'd just seen Stokes leave one not too far outside off. Then he produces the perfect inswinger, out of the blue, and Stokes leaves a big hole in his forward defence for the ball to burst through. Stunning. Replays suggest it's seam movement rather than swing, and that's even harder to deal with 92/389.1 cleaned up this time! Pope got a life from Cornwall on 91 but is dismissed by the next ball he faces. Keeps his foot behind the line this time. Slightly full of a length, Pope played a loose shot, looking to whip a straight ball into the leg side, and it burst past his bat and crashed into the off stump, flicking the pad on the way through. Big breakthrough for West Indies! 262/591.4 Length ball on fifth stump, edged to second slip where Holder takes a sharp low catch! Both him and Gabriel roar in celebration, and West Indies are on a roll. Good length, nipped in slightly off the seam to force Buttler to play at it, struck the outside edge and Holder got down to his left to scoop it up and hold the chance 272/790.6 chops on! Roach has 200 Test wickets! Woakes' poor run with the bat continues, but it's a moment to savour for Roach, the first West Indian to reach the landmark since Sir Curtly Ambrose back in 1994. Crooked bat, back-of-a-length ball outside off which he strikes the bottom edge and hits off stump halfway up 267/692.4 edged, and Holder takes it at slip again! West Indies are flying this morning with the second new ball. Another good low catch, down in front of him this time, and another loud celebration from him. Tight line from Roach in the off-stump channel, on fourth or fifth stump, and it takes the edge of Archer's defensive push with just a hint of movement in off the seam 280/8107.2 low full toss, Broad has another wipe, but it's straight to deep midwicket! He connected superbly, but almost too well given the bear-trap that had been set in the outfield. The end of a rollicking, momentum-changing knock 356/9111.5 edged and straight into Cornwall's bread-basket! A firm drive, off the back foot, feet stuck as Holder unleashed a subtle outswinger, straight to first slip, and well, that was a lively session! 369/10Extras22 (b 12, lb 4, nb 6)TOTAL369 all out (111.5 Overs, RR: 3.29)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Dom Sibley, 0.6 ov), 2-47 (Joe Root, 21.3 ov), 3-92 (Ben Stokes, 34.6 ov), 4-122 (Rory Burns, 47.4 ov), 5-262 (Ollie Pope, 89.1 ov), 6-267 (Chris Woakes, 90.6 ov), 7-272 (Jos Buttler, 91.4 ov), 8-280 (Jofra Archer, 92.4 ov), 9-356 (Stuart Broad, 107.2 ov), 10-369 (James Anderson, 111.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 edged, and gobbled up at slip by Root! Early wicket, and it's Brathwaite, who has been by some way the most reliable of West Indies' top three to date in this series. Good length ball which might have clipped the top of off stump. Brathwaite pushed at it defensively, and it flew at a comfortable height to first slip. Root made it look harder than it was, clasping it between his wrists almost 1/116.6 banged in short, and that's perfection from Archer! Campbell's weight was premeditated to be on the front foot, but that's a mistake when you're facing a bowler who can slip in the bouncer with barely a tell in the action. Right into the rib-cage, leaping off the splice as Campbell got in a tangle, and swallowed in the gully! 44/223.2 unplayable from Anderson! That's the one he's been working towards since his return to the attack. Nipping away once again, but this time from a merciless full length and middle-and-off line, angling in. No option but to stick the bat in the way, but the movement and bounce licked the edge through to Buttler! 58/325.3 cut in half, little inside edge on it? Big shout and given! And no review from Brooks, so England have their man. Nipped in off the seam, skimming Brooks' inside edge, onto his back thigh and through to Buttler. Nightmare start to the evening session for West Indies 59/434.2 trapped on the pad, celebrappeal from Broad and the finger goes up! Chase drags himself off, doesn't bother with a review. Nips in appreciably off the seam, traps him on the knee roll as he jams the bat down late, and Broad has his second. Might have been worth sending upstairs with three reviews left, but it looked dead to the naked eye 73/542.3 splat! Blackwood stays too leg-side of the full-length ball, climbs into another hard-handed thump through the line, but there's enough nip off the deck to burst through a vast gate, and fell the middle stump! A combative but insubstantial effort is rudely ended, and now Windies are in a pickle 110/658.3 beautifully bowled, and it's given. Holder's reviewed, but I don't think he's surviving this. Masterful follow-up to being driven through the covers. Length ball, seams in and strikes him around the knee-roll as he looks to work it into the leg side. His weight is falling over slightly to the off side, possibly influenced by the shot he played off the previous ball, and it's crashing into a good chunk of leg stump according to Hawkeye 178/764.6 back-of-a-length ball, Dowrich backs away and has a wild slash. It flies up in the air, looping up past the stumps at the bowler's end, and Woakes gets round from mid-on to take a simple catch. Broad has six, England lead by 172 197/1062.2 full, straight, struck dead in front on the pad and Kettleborough raises the finger. Cornwall reviews, but this looked plumb. Struck on the knee roll, looking to work a full-of-a-length ball into the leg side. No bat, and hitting the top of middle-and-leg. The Rahk Attack is short-lived. 188/862.5 edged, and gone! Broad has a five-for. Good low catch by Root at first slip. Slightly full of a length, nipping away off the seam as Roach was drawn forward, and Root did the rest 188/9Extras15 (b 4, lb 5, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL197 all out (65 Overs, RR: 3.03)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Kraigg Brathwaite, 1.4 ov), 2-44 (John Campbell, 16.6 ov), 3-58 (Shai Hope, 23.2 ov), 4-59 (Shamarh Brooks, 25.3 ov), 5-73 (Roston Chase, 34.2 ov), 6-110 (Jermaine Blackwood, 42.3 ov), 7-178 (Jason Holder, 58.3 ov), 8-188 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 62.2 ov), 9-188 (Kemar Roach, 62.5 ov), 10-197 (Shane Dowrich, 64.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR57.6 tossed up outside off, looks to slog-sweep and it flies up into the leg side. Da Silva takes a catch, and celebrates like he's won the World Cup. Good moment for him. And England declare immediately 226/240.5 fuller, another lbw appeal, and this time it's given! Sibley wasn't too far forward, and was looking to work it leg side once again. He's reviewed it, and I think he can only be saved if this is missing leg stump. Was actually looking to punch this through mid-on, I think, but got his front leg too far across and had to play slightly around it. A bit of inward movement, and the ball is hitting a big chunk of leg stump according to Hawkeye.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 big shout for lbw, and it's given! That's Broad's 500th! No review, and why would he? That kept very low, and snuck under his attempted defensive shot from the crease, and struck him on his back pad. Unfortunate for Brathwaite. Probably struck him in line with off stump and would probably have crashed into middle. Brathwaite is now Broad's 500th victim as well as Anderson's 45/31.3 draws the edge, simple catch for Root at slip! Broad, round the wicket to the left-handers. It's almost too easy for him. Tight line, angling in then nipping away, draws the outside edge high on the bat as Campbell comes forward to defend, and Root takes a comfortable slip catch to leave West Indies 0 for 1! 0/13.1 edged through to the keeper! 86mph/138kph, thin edge through to Buttler and England have a second. Length ball, no foot movement from Roach who reached at a ball on fourth stump. It flicked his bat on the way through and Buttler completed the formalities. Broad moves to 499, West Indies are deep in the mire 6/218.3 slightly back of a length outside off, Hope pulls and skews it straight up in the air off the toe. Guess who's under it? Broad of course, running in from mid-on and taking a fairly simple catch running in. He had to steady himself as it swirled in the breeze, but did the job. Hope throws away another start and his dire run in Tests continues. Wonder if this will prove to be his last Test innings for a while? 71/420.6 inside edge on the way through and Brooks is gone! Loose waft outside off, just a hint of nibble in off the seam, a fraction back of a length as Brooks rocked onto the back foot, jumping slightly as he pushed at it, and it flicked the inside edge on its way through to Buttler 79/526.2 do you really need to run quick singles in this situation, West Indies!?!?!? back of a length close to off stump, pushed into the cover point region and they set off, with a moment's hesitation. And that's enough for Bess, who sprints quickly to his right from backward point, picks up, turns smoothly, and throws down the stumps at the striker's end, with Chase well out 87/637.1 strangled down the leg side, 10 for Broad! His first since 2013, would you believe? England win by 269 runs and take the series 2-1. This was dug in halfway down the pitch. Blackwood shapes to pull, got a fair bit of bat on it - or maybe some glove - and Buttler took a sharp catch down the leg side to finish things off 129/1028.6 length ball, off-stumpish, and Holder looks to work it leg side and Woakes has a huge lbw appeal upheld. Holder's reviewed immediately, though. Is there an inside edge? Nope. Nothing on UltraEdge. Nice length, nips in from just outside off, and that's hitting leg stump according to Hawkeye. Holder's front pad slightly got in the way of his bat there - he wasn't looking to play across the line, but to punch towards mid-on, but he ended up having to play a little around that pad 99/734.1 struck on the pad, dead-straight, and the finger goes up! Woakes has four, England have eight. Doesn't bother reviewing, since this was about as plumb as it gets. Dowrich is only a small man and was struck on the knee roll right in front. A bit of nibble in off the seam, Dowrich went back instead of forward, looked to jam the bat down but got nowhere near it 117/834.5 and Woakes has five! Another plumb lbw, slightly full of a length. Pitching off, hitting leg. No foot movement from Cornwall who looked to work into the leg side, and he doesn't bother reviewing. Slightly bizarre decision not to, with two left, but it looked as out as it gets 119/9Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL129 all out (37.1 Overs, RR: 3.47)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (John Campbell, 1.3 ov), 2-6 (Kemar Roach, 3.1 ov), 3-45 (Kraigg Brathwaite, 13.3 ov), 4-71 (Shai Hope, 18.3 ov), 5-79 (Shamarh Brooks, 20.6 ov), 6-87 (Roston Chase, 26.2 ov), 7-99 (Jason Holder, 28.6 ov), 8-117 (Shane Dowrich, 34.1 ov), 9-119 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 34.5 ov), 10-129 (Jermaine Blackwood, 37.1 ov)
