Heavy roller for West Indies during the innings break to try and flatten the pitch out.
Matthew: "Bess didn't *quite* get as many runs off boundaries as Sibley, but it was close." 20 out of 120 for Sibley, 18 out of 31 for Bess!
Here's one for you - that was England's highest total at home since... their 481 for 6 against Australia in an ODI two years ago
5.54pm: And Root has seen enough. England have declared. 469 for 9, a total underpinned by centuries for Dom Sibley and Ben Stokes. Roston Chase will take the plaudits with the ball for his 5 for 172, but Roach was the pick for me, steaming in relentlessly to return 2 for 58 from his 33 overs. There are legitimate questions to be asked about Holder's decision to bowl first, but before we get into those, there's an hour or so for West Indies to see out before the close.
Chase, into his 28th consecutive over
