- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 Stunner! Atkinson jags one through Athanaze which completely surprises the batter, cutting him in half. Buttler ends up taking a tumbling catch to his left and reckons the left-hander might have got something on that. The umpire doesn't think so, but there's a spike on UltraEdge! Good review and a big wicket for England given Athanaze's starring role in Sunday's century opening stand 15/16.2 Curran strikes again! Arguably his best ball of the day, length ball on middle stump that nips away and claims the edge of King. The allrounder celebrates with an almighty roar. What a difference a few days make... 23/34.5 Gone! Much-needed for Curran! Carty plays neither here nor there, attempting what looked like a cut off the front foot, scything an edge to Zak Crawley who takes a smart head-high catch at first slip 20/233.2 Livi does the trick! Sharp leggie, with enough dip to flummox Hope into some indecisive footwork. Ends up going back to a delivery he should have gone forward to and is bowled off stump through bat and pad! Quality bowling to get rid of the main man 163/76.6 Big appeal for LBW! Hetmyer walks down the crease, ends up wearing a full ball on the pads. Not out on the field, and Buttler doesn't look all that convinced but he's gone upstairs nonetheless... oh wow, it's out! Looked like it was odds on to slide down, but not even a Umpire's Call - HawkEye predicts it was hitting flush! 23/429.4 flashed into the covers! A fractional misjudgement from Rutherford, looking to hit on the up, but ends up scuffing his stroke straight to Salt. A fine innings ends, but it's the glimmer England needed 152/531.5 slower, loopier, straight through the gate! Cariah was through his tentative push too soon, and the ball just ghosted on into the off stump from round the wicket. Two wickets in as many overs and England have got their toe-hold back 160/636.2 Rehan gets the big man! Similar delivery to the previous one, though perhaps not as short. Shepherd rocks back and tries to clear Crawley at that long on position, but ends up going straight down his throat 189/839.4 That's it - West Indies all out for 202! Short again, this time cramping Joseph for room. He goes through with the shot, skying it but not all that far, allowing Atkinson to complete the dismissal. A chalk and cheese performance here compared to Sunday's capitulation, as England skittle West Indies with 10.2 overs to spare. 202/1038.1 And it begins with a wicket! A second, and an inevitable one as Motie gets a full delivery outside off, tries to heave it into the blue skies above but ends up scuffing it tamely to backward point 200/9Extras6 (lb 1, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL202 all out (39.4 Overs, RR: 5.09)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Alick Athanaze, 3.5 ov), 2-20 (Keacy Carty, 4.5 ov), 3-23 (Brandon King, 6.2 ov), 4-23 (Shimron Hetmyer, 6.6 ov), 5-152 (Sherfane Rutherford, 29.4 ov), 6-160 (Yannic Cariah, 31.5 ov), 7-163 (Shai Hope, 33.2 ov), 8-189 (Romario Shepherd, 36.2 ov), 9-200 (Gudakesh Motie, 38.1 ov), 10-202 (Alzarri Joseph, 39.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 bowled him! Super delivery and he's earned that, in spite of the rate of England's progress. Another heavy ball, just back of a good length, and barrelling on through a loose drive to flick off the bails, top of middle stump. Salt departs after another selflessly positive cameo 50/119.5 Rutherford strikes! That same good length, seam up, lacking the bounce Jacks expected. The Surrey man is hit comfortably under the knee roll of his front pad and walks off without even considering a review 116/410.5 wider line, and dragged onto the stumps! Tossed up from Motie, Crawley was drawn into a slap through the covers, but perhaps his ambitions were confounded by a hint of drift, taking the ball a touch wider. A bobbling under-edge, and off he goes! 75/212.5 gloved to the keeper! Whoops, Duckett stepped across his crease too far, looking for the very fine sweep through fine leg, but Motie finds more extra bounce to flick the glove, and it's a lobbed offering for Hope, trotting round to his right from behind the stumps. England lose their third... 85/3Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL206/4 (32.5 Overs, RR: 6.27)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Phil Salt, 5.5 ov), 2-75 (Zak Crawley, 10.5 ov), 3-85 (Ben Duckett, 12.5 ov), 4-116 (Will Jacks, 19.5 ov)
