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

Turn that on its head. It's exactly what the West Indies were saying about England before, during and after the back-to-back series 5-0 Blackwash drubbings.

I guess the difference is that we were picking our strongest test team against a far superior opposition, this isn't the strongest team that the WIndies could have selected.

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

Bairstow perishes too... dragged a little dab cut onto the stumps... gone for 18... WIndies hardly celebrate... have they given up already?

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!

Alastair Cook chasing wide ones outside off... trying to keep the scoreboard ticking... no point in occupation now.

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

Alastair Cook lbw Chase 242 (407 balls, 33 fours)
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'.

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

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

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

Not that much of a surprise, little batting to come and would 534 ao been realistically any more challenging than the 514 already on the board ? .... Anderson STRIKES ! WI 1-0

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

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