1.06pm So, a tremendous effort from West Indies this morning. They recovered their poise after a traumatic start, with Anderson claiming two in two, including Shai Hope for 147 first-ball. Jermaine Blackwood and Jason Holder counterattacked gamely, before Roach and Gabriel tonked merrily into overtime. Gnasher will be back after the break, in 30 minutes or so.

Stokes to Gabriel, OUT, huge appeal, and up goes the finger again! Another review, perhaps more optimistic this time ... might as well use it... no bat involved, and clipping leg. That is the end of that

Stokes to Gabriel, no run, sharp bouncer, lobs to gully, and is that the end of the innings? Gabriel reviews straightaway. And he's got good reason to do so, that missed the bat and clipped his shoulder!

Huzefa: "Gabriel and Roach not scoring runs but just spending time in the middle is adding up to England's frustration. Such a critical facet of Test cricket!!" Quite right

Patrick: "@Rod: I'm sorry but despite Australia's Asian troubles, to suggest that England who are in their home conditions getting carted around by a sub-standard West Indies side, who also possess two fast bowlers with 800 + test wickets between them I may add, is hardly evidence to suggest that England are the stronger side ahead of the Ashes #ridiculous" Save these ones for facebook, lads.
