Our two most aggressive batsmen in, 400 on the board already, this could become messy...

Stokes out after two sixes. 424-6
Presume the order from the dressing room is now shit or bust?

Who is the Albion fan in the crowd with a white hat on? Whoever it is you have just been on TV taking a photo of the dancing girls. Hope your wife didn’t see it!
That fizzled out a bit from 410 for 4...
England 507-9 declared (150.5 overs)

Fisher gets a wicket with his second ball. WI14-1
0.2 Woakes to Brathwaite, FOUR runs
Some gentle awayswing, 129kph/80mph in the channel, Brathwaite drops back and skelps four through backward point! Nice shot to get WI on the board
0.4 Woakes to Brathwaite, FOUR runs
Belted through mid-off, another confident stroke from Brathwaite. Woakes pitches the ball up and gets taken for runs again
1.1 Fisher to Campbell, FOUR runs
Pitched up and steered through backward point, slightly wide line and he's eased to the rope
1.2 Fisher to Campbell, OUT
Gottim, nicked off - Fisher strikes with his second ball in Tests!
John Campbell c †Foakes b Fisher 4 (2b 1x4 0x6) SR: 200

This session is going to be a grind, wonder how many overs Leach will bowl?
Windies 242-3. Brathwaite on 104, Blackwood on 70. Leach has bowled a lot of overs (35), occasionally threatened but personally I'm not convinced that he can take multiple wickets on a turning pitch. Pace attack has bowled OK but meh.
So a draw beckons. We have sorted out our batting, but now our bowlers can't take wickets. If only we had some experienced international bowlers to call on.
Oh..........

Oh..........
This mornings session has been slow and at times glacial. 6 maidens on the bounce at one point.
351 for 5, Joseph the nightwatchman being quite brilliantly caught by Lawrence off Stokes.
Not sure I'll watch much more.

Weak bowling attack on a terrible wicket. Have turned off. Pitches like this will do more to kill Test cricket than anything else

96 lead, add another 200 as fast as possible?

Rain saves the Windies, not a post I ever thought I would make... 
A bit (a lot) of 20/20 batting needed to give us a sniff. Probably already more on the board than they can chase on this pudding of a pitch.
EDIT: Here it comes from Johnny Bairstow!
