Play abandoned for the day... West Indies 44-1, trailing by 470. Pity that the best bit of the day/night game was lost today... and they could have played this morning too :nono:

7.45pm Update from Miller at the ground: "The Hollies Stand are singing merrily in the rain, but the weather looks utterly minging. The covers are glistening to the hammer of raindrops - the lights really do let you see how wet it is out there" :nono:

Off for rain.. West Indies 44-1 (16 overs) Umpires out there under brollies as the extended covers go on. Not looking promising.

'Tea', Day Two West Indies 13-1 (9 overs), trailing by 502 A good wicket for Jimmy, pity about the drop by Stokes in the gully off Broad, a life for Powell on 2. Apparently there is a bit of rain on the radar, which would be a pity - the evening session under the lights should be a real tester.

They have started THAT song again :nono:

it was just clipping the leg bail... umpires call... so good decision not to review.

Huge shout for LBW... Erasmus doesn't give it... but he has had several shockers already... looked like it might be high/leg??

Anderson has his first victim :clap2: Perfect line and length... Brathwaite nibbles on the wrong line... edges through to YJB West Indies 0-1 (2.2 overs)

Here comes Jimmy... now we will find out what the pink ball can do. Tough time for Powell and Brathwaite. Should get the crowd going too :)

Good use of the review... but that was another absolute SHOCKER from Erasmus. :nono:

Alastair Cook lbw Chase 242 (407 balls, 33 fours) :clap2: and England declare 514-8 (135.5 overs) Slightly surprising but a good move from captain Root... Anderson and Broad can have a nice go at the openers before 'tea'.

LBW review against Cook... looked plumb to me, but not given.

Alastair Cook chasing wide ones outside off... trying to keep the scoreboard ticking... no point in occupation now. 512-7 (135 overs) 45 overs remaining in the day

Moeen Ali skies a wild straight drive off Chase... takes the edge and flies to point... and he has gone for a duck 506-7 (131.5 overs) 650 looking a long way off now... although 500+ is probably plenty!

Bairstow perishes too... dragged a little dab cut onto the stumps... gone for 18... WIndies hardly celebrate... have they given up already? 505-6 (130.4 overs)

Alastair Cook 239* (390 balls, 32 fours, SR 61.28), his third highest Test Match score :clap2: 294 v India 2011 Edgbaston 263 v Pakistan 2015 Abu Dhabi 239* v West Indies 2017 Edgbaston 235* v Australia 2010 Brisbane 190 v India 2012 Kolkata and England move on to 501-5 (129.3 overs) :clap2:

Alastair Cook gets a life... went for the pull, leading edge straight up in the air... dropped just out of reach... lucky boy!

Stokes gone for 10... reverse sweeping... top edge or maybe glove caught at slip :nono: England 466-5 (121.1 overs)

If we do declare, it will be well after 'tea'... 650 on the board at least.

England 450-4 (117.4 overs) :clap2: Cook 213* Stokes 1* Should be a fun 'afternoon' session with plenty of batting to come :)
