    Pope out to a loose shot, and Root should have been out LBW...

    Brook gone.

    Going to be following on at this rate!

    Brook follows. We should avoid the follow on hopefully.

    Baz ball without a brain

    see ball smack ball. Doesn’t matter that we are over 200 runs behind and now into the lower order

    edit, I forgot about stokes and thought smith was in next

    Early into the morning session we were 54-5. Didnt think at tea we would be virtually at parity with 3 wickets in hand.

    Hopefully get past 300.

    Bazball giveth and Bazball taketh away.

    Smith bowled for 95 to a ball that shot through very low.
    Superb innings
    337-8

    Horrible way to get out on 95 😔

    Going better than I"d hoped at tea. A lead of 80+ is more than useful.

    Also a very good bit of bowling.

    I worry that this West Indies second innings could get very messy, very quickly, especially without their rock.

    surely it's time now to regard Chris Woakes as a proper all rounder

    Woody five fer and stokes opening batting for 2nd innings. (Crawley gone for a scan from when he dropped a catch before lunch)

    So what’s the bets Crawley’s first out either for a duck or single figures!

    36 minutes, 44 balls, 87 runs. Yes the WI capitulated spectacularly in the last 75 minutes but take nothing away from Wood and Stokes. Absolutely ruthless.

    You'll never win Test series with Bazball

    Replaced as he's having his finger x-rayed I believe.

    Haha not demoted. Left the ground before lunch for a scan following hurting finger whilst attempting a catch whilst stokes bowled.

    Stokes beaten Bothams fastest 50 record. Great to watch.

    Love watching Wood bowl, at last had a bit of luck today but he has so deserved that, fantastic spell of proper fast accurate bowling. Wrap him in cotton wool.

    Stokes very much back to his best. Clocked bowling at 85mph in what was his quickest spell for England in 4 years. Fielding very sharply and batting like that. Long may it last!

    Great to see the stumps flying about - Mark Wood made a proper job of it.

    Another three day Test. The amount of revenue the ECB must be losing on ticket and hospitality income must be considerable. Surely they must be wishing for the days of Boycott and Tavare?

    Or decent opposition... 

    That West Indies batting lineup is desperately weak and inexperienced, and with the poor state of domestic cricket over there, you can hardly blame West Indian cricketers for concentrating on white ball cricket and the T20 leagues.

    What happened to Shai Hope? He scored centuries in both innings in the 2017 Headingley Test, and instead of going on to be a top Test batsman, hasn't scored a Test ton since, finishing in 2021 with an average of 25.
