99 | (wicket maiden) | WI: 287/10

6.19pm: Dom Sibley is sat in the dressing room having a coffee, so it doesn't look like it'll be him. "Stokes and Buttler, I think," suggests George Dobell at the ground. Heavy roller being used in the innings break.

Peter: "Tinkering with batting order this evening is not the way to go. If England are 3 down by the close it makes it all v unpleasant. Bat sensibly tonight, have a go in the morning if it looks good."

Timo: "You are all mad if you think it will be anyone but Sibley and Burns to open here...."

Andy: "Controversially, I reckon Sibley is NOT the man to open here... Crawley?"

Appu Ponnusamy: "England should send Buttler and Stokes to open"

6.16pm: The big question now is who will open the batting for England? 11 overs left in the day. Could be anyone really: Sibley, Burns, Crawley, Stokes, Buttler... even Bess, as a nightwatchman of sorts who can have a whack in the morning.

Sancasm: "So Gabriel came out for batting, just to be struck on the unmentionables and without troubling the scorers.... Ouch, it hurts !!!"

6.13pm: So England lead by 182, and will surely have a bit of a dart in this third innings. Brathwaite, Brooks and Chase underpinned that total and helped West Indies pass the follow-on target thanks to fighting fifties, but Broad's new-ball burst and Woakes mopping up at the end has given them a healthy lead.

Woakes to Gabriel, OUT, bowled 'im! Slower ball does for Gabriel, offcutter down at 72mph/116kph, and pings into off stump. 287 all out

ST Gabriel b Woakes 0 (8m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

He's still not moving fluently, but it's hard to tell whether that's because of his blow or the fact he's... well, pretty useless with the bat

98.5
0
Woakes to Gabriel, no run, short ball, no sympathy from Woakes, and Gabriel lurches under it
98.4
0
Woakes to Gabriel, no run, length again, strikes Gabriel on the thigh who looks completely bemused as it dribbles away. Ah, might have got him in the unmentionables. Roach can't help himself, cackling away, and even the PPE-clad medic is grinning as he runs on to offer some support. Yep, that's definitely box not thigh pad. Gabriel is smiling at least, at looks alright to continue
98.3

Woakes to Gabriel, no run, beaten! Not sure how that didn't get him, really. Length ball, nips away past Gabriel's flaccid prod, and flies just over the top of off
98.2
0
Woakes to Gabriel, no run, fullish on fifth stump, wafty drive out to cover point

Couple of slips

Bharath: "R Chase lbw b George G. Well bowled George G"

There's something you don't see every day - Michael Gough having a decision overturned by the DRS. Chase departs after a crucial knock, leaving Shannon Gabriel to stride in. He's usually one for a good time, not a long time

98.1
W
Woakes to Chase, OUT, trapped in front, Gough says no! England review... Looked pretty adjacent at first glance, nipped in a fair way from outside off and slammed Chase just below the knee roll. Don't think there was bat involved... a tiny shimmer on UltraEdge, but surely not conclusive? No bat involved, says Kettleborough. Impact in-line, and smashing into leg stump two-thirds of the way up!

RL Chase lbw b Woakes 51 (137m 85b 7x4 0x6) SR: 60.00

Curran to Roach, no run, scuttling in from round the wicket, defended back down the pitch

George G: "Joining the (rightful) Chase praise bandwagon: He's been a great example of an allrounder doing both jobs well. Some thought Cornwall would take his place due to superior spin, but Chase has got wickets, and his batting has been so consistent that he would be in the side on that alone right now"

97.5
1
Curran to Chase, 1 run, angling in, prodded down to long leg via the inside edge
97.4
2
Curran to Chase, 2 runs, clipped off the pads down to long leg and they hurry back for two which brings up Roston Chase's half-century. Gutsy knock, standing firm as wickets fell around him
97.3

Curran to Roach, 1 run, angling in from wide on the crease, clipped behind square via the inside edge
97.2

Curran to Roach, no run, speared down the leg side

Curran to Roach, no run, hung outside off, left alone

Curran moves round the wicket to Roach. Three slips, a short midwicket, and a big gap in the covers

  • Roston Chase48 (82b)
  • Kemar Roach4 (20b)
  • Chris Woakes20-9-42-1
  • Sam Curran19-4-66-2

Dangerous over from Woakes, making things happen in a way that Curran hasn't been

Woakes to Chase, no run, outswinger on a length, steered out to gully on the bounce

Woakes to Chase, no run, left alone outside off
96.2
0
Woakes to Chase, no run, beauty outside the off stump, nibbles away off the seam with good bounce and past Chase's fending push

Cricfanalways: "Should the follow one score be 150 or more instead of 200 as one day was fully washed out?" Only if the washed out day is day one, per Law 14.3

96.1
0
Woakes to Chase, no run, outswinger, back of a length, has a slash outside off but can't make contact

"Stokes and Chase are the only players to have crossed 30 in each of the 3 innings of this series so far," notes ESPNcricinfo's Bharath Seervi

Curran to Roach, no run, pushed solidly to cover

Root is the latest man off the field, possibly to talk tactics with the coaching staff

Curran to Roach, FOUR, full outside off, driven down to third man with an open face. Useful runs in this partnership!
