2.35pm: West Indies will bat again, say the outriders from Kensington Oval. "Grind them into the dust..." Meantime, we've pulled together comms of that Roach rout, an exhilarating burst that England were unable to come back from. Shades of Jerome Taylor and Sabina Park 2009, though there really was no coming back from that... Right, time for a brew. Miller will be back for more fun in a mo!

2.30pm: That will be tea, with West Indies mulling what to do with their 212-run lead... would they dare to enforce the follow-on? That'd be a brutal move, with England on their knees, picking the smithereens from their hair; but batting again would allow West Indies to drive this game right where they want to, before asking England to chase on what will likely be a fairly dicey deck, come day four. For stats trivia fans, this is fourth time England have been dismissed for 77, but the first time by a team other than Australia. It's their joint-17th lowest total in Tests. Make of that what you will.

Joseph to Rashid, OUT, short ball, in the channel... and Rashid steers it tamely to slip! England have been rumbled, blown away between lunch and tea for their fourth-lowest total against West Indies; Rashid far from the most culpable but a soft dismissal nevertheless, Holder reaching across with those bucket hands to nab the edge this time

AU Rashid c Holder b Joseph 12 (32m 18b 3x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

"BTW, Jennings is still the highest-scorer with most balls-faced!!!" Not sure he'll be putting that on his CV, Vijay Thummar

Gabriel to Anderson, no run, back of a length, Anderson hops tentatively into line and rides the bounce

In comes last man, Jimmy Anderson. Time for an exhibition from the Burnley Lara?

Gabriel to Curran, OUT, chin music (although on Curran it's up around the ears), balloons off the glove to be caught at gully! There'll be no rescue act from Big Sam today! Gabriel gets among the wickets with a bonce-bothering short ball, and England are in all sorts of strife

SM Curran c Hope b Gabriel 14 (44m 27b 3x4 0x6) SR: 51.85

"A good song for any collapse would be 'In the End' by Linkin Park," chirps Aman. It doesn't even matter? Try telling West Indies that
