    6.4 bowled 'im with a jaffa! Salt finally crumbles... Motie the man for West Indies, as he drifts one in from round the wicket and then rips it back down the line of middle stump. The bails go pop and off pops Salt, there'll be no back-to-back-to-back ton today. Top of middle knocked back and Motie celebrates with understandable glee 60/3
    3.2 full and scooped... straight to short fine leg! Holder is off and running, arm pointed skyward like Alan Shearer in his pomp. That's a big wicket, especially given the run of form England's openers have been on. Just the second powerplay wicket West Indies have taken in the series. Buttler got a reasonable connection but not enough height to clear the man on the edge of the circle, Thomas taking a tumbling catch 24/1
    4.6 bowled him! Jacks put back in his box! Hosein fires a 98kph arm ball through the batter as he attempts to thrash it away off the back foot. Stumps exposed, the ball skidding on at 98kph to flick the leg bail, and bring Hosein his first success of the day 39/2
    16.3 plopped back to the bowler! Livingstone rocks back, looking to get forceful on the tight line from round the wicket. He can't get any power through the stroke as the ball sticks in the pitch again, and it's as simple a return catch as you can hope for! England take another big hit 121/6
    8.1 Brook attempts to lap-sweep, and gone! Balloons up into the grateful hands of Pooran. It was full and straightening, looked initially like it might have been an appeal for lbw... but the ball clearly popped straight up off the bat glove for a simple catch to the keeper coming around the stumps 70/4
    14.3 steps down the track for a slap to long-on, doesn't get to the pitch but goes through the shot anyway... and it's a stunning bit of boundary relaying! Andre Russell, back on the rope at long-on, grabs the chance rushing back towards the rope, he unleashes the ball before his momentum takes him over the rope, but Rovman Powell has to fling himself forward to mop up the chance, and scoops it up inches from the turf! 110/5
    19.3 back of a length, panned to wide long-on! Curran has a swipe through the wide line, gets a toe-end on it, Rutherford tracks round with cow corner converging too, and England make less than half their total of two days ago! 132/10
    18.1 Yorker from round the wicket! Straight through Woakes' defences, into the base of the stumps, and England will do well to reach 140 now! 125/7
    18.2 two in two! Full toss from Russell, round the wicket, belted back with venom at the bowler's midriff. God knows how he clings on... and he's in pain after grabbing it close to his right thigh... but he doesn't let the chance slip, and this innings is sinking fast! 125/8
    19.2 full and wide, hacked through the full length, clothed to long-on, and the shy catches Rashid short! Holder grabs the pick-up on the bounce at the bowler's end, whips off the bails, and England are in danger of being bowled out! 132/9

    2.1 full length, big hack to leg... and taken! Completely mistimed as he tried to heave the ball over midwicket and it barely went off the square. Buttler the man to steady himself under the steepler at midwicket. Topley makes the breakthrough for England 20/1
    7.6 full toss, slapped straight to cover! Rashid motions almost in apology to the batter, he knows he's burgled one there! Lobbed up wide of the stumps and Charles was stretching for it, ended up flubbing his drive low and to the left of Buttler, who holds on as he tumbles to the ground 54/3
    3.4 bowled 'im, Pooran drags on! Rising from back of a length and he tries to ride it, but only manages to divert the ball down on to his stumps. Woakes makes another inroad for England in this attempt to make a mountain out of a molehill 33/2

    14.2 inside-out slap and gobbled up at extra cover! Round the wicket, googly on a full length, Rutherford timed the pants off that but Curran reached to his left and swallowed the offering! The timing of Rashid's return works in the short-term, as a very handy innings is sawn off in its prime 95/4
    16.3 tumbling take from Rashid at short third! England aren't dead quite yet! Full length from Topley, outside off, Powell opened the face but couldn't control his stroke, Topley's height extracting extra bounce to scuff the splice and just about reach Rashid as he dived forward 113/5
    18.5 full toss, but Russell hasn't connected! Livingstone steadies himself at long-on, there's huge height through the blow, but not enough distance. Calmly gathered in the deep and suddenly England have a real glimmer! 123/6
