4.35pm So, West Indies all out for 411, an innings underpinned by a massive 160 from Kraigg Brathwaite, spanning more than 700 minutes. Jermaine Blackwood made a hundred too, an eternity ago it seems, and Jack Leach ploughed through 69.5 overs for his 3 for 118... which is the same number of wicketless overs, incidentally, that Nilesh Kulkarni bowled in 1997 after claiming a first-ball scalp on debut! It must have felt that barren at times, but England stuck at their task admirably. And now, might we see a bit of a push for a declaration tomorrow? Here's Alan to find out.

Leach to Da Silva, OUT, gets in a tangle this time! Stabbing onto the front foot, kneeling into a block, the ball slides on into his pad, and this looks very adjacent. No inside-edge... and thumping leg stump! It's all over. Repeat. The innings is all over! Leach gets his third, a valiant effort, and reward for immense discipline. England have a not-insignificant lead of 96

Rich: "So far this and the Pakistan vs Australia series are really not promoting test cricket in this time of T20 obsession." It's ... suboptimal
