10.57am: It took the best part of an hour, but West Indies have mopped up the tail and need 28 to complete a 1-0 series win in the inaugural Richards-Botham Trophy. Some good fight from England's tailenders, but they only managed to add 17 runs to the overnight score. The restart will be at 11.06am, with Brathwaite and Campbell looking to seal a 10-wicket victory in the decider. Valkerie will be here shortly to talk you through it.

Mahmood's Test batting average is 52. And that's the real quiz.

Roach to Leach, OUT, edges a low catch through to the keeper! But Wilson is unmoved. Da Silva is so convinced that he reviews without asking Brathwaite first. They have three left, so no reason not too. Full outside off, but Leach was expecting the short one and hanging back. Clear spike on UltraEdge as it passes the outside edge, low on the bat, and yet another decision in this series is overturned!

Gully, short leg and silly point in place. Roach is around the wicket

Danny: "English tailenders are to be lauded for their effort." -- Leach has shown a lot more resolve than most of the middle order.

Joseph to Mahmood, no run, appeal for caught behind as Joseph digs it in short. There's some discussion about the review... but they opt against, even with three left. Looks like it flicked Mahmood on the arm guard or the elbow as he took evasive action

Leach asking for some running repairs on his glove. Seales fails to pull out the loose thread but umpire Brathwaite does the job with a small pair of scissors.

Joseph to Mahmood, 1 wide, banged in short from around the wicket, sails harmlessly over him. Short enough to be given as a wide

Reichs: "Wondercatch? You need to watch more cricket" -- I work for ESPNcricinfo mate, I watch a lot of cricket. And that was a screamer.

Roach to Leach, no run, chipped just short of point diving forwards. Back of a length, outside off stump. Leach hung back, looking to back-foot punch through the off side. His weight was going back and it looped up to Joseph, but he only managed to scoop it up on the half-volley

Rawffe: "Enough talk of Root's 50 average, let's see if Saqib can do it here today." -- He's there, so long as he remains not out.

Roach to Leach, no run, full and straight, clipped to square leg

Around the wicket to the left-handed Leach. A wide slip and a gully, plus a man catching at short midwicket.
