I think the best way to follow the Test from now is through here.

Well actually it’s not to follow the Test, but...

200/4 is so much better than 60/3

Saw a stat the other day that England have only gone past 400 once or twice recently. Not surprising when the top 3 contribute sfa. Couple of wickets here and we'll be lucky to make 325.

On the one hand, yay I suppose; bit late, but yay nonetheless. On the other hand, I can’t help but wonder if Buttler’s relative success yesterday slams the door on Foakes for a while. That would be wrong and bad.

Before this match I felt that if one of the three was to drop out, it should be Jonny. I feel that even more keenly now.

I still think the line up should be Burns, someone, Bairstow, Root, Buttler, Stokes, Foakes.

People go on about Foakes coming in at 8 being the problem - it isn't a problem because he could easily (and should IMO) come in ahead of Moeen.

Perhaps Jonny had tantrum and demanded to bat at 7 if they wanted him to keep.

Anyways, it'd be a nice way to end the tour if one (or both?!) of these could get a ton.

My two favourite England players are taking all of the wickets. This is the best day of cricket ever, only spoiled slightly (well, a fair bit (well, a lot)) by it being a dead rubber.

Mark chuffing Wood. And if Cricbuzz is to be believed he's bowling faster than ever!

Couple of 95mph deliveries.

So Root gave him a seven-over spell. :roll: There was tea in the middle, but still.

If it’d been a longer series England might have fought back through West Indian bowler injuries.

Or, more likely, Mark Wood would have done himself a nasty.

With Gabriel carrying a knock, Paul out for the match, Holder suspended... surely this lot can make some runs. There's only Roach and Joseph operating at 100%.

You just wait Drumstick, this is the knock that will make Denly England’s number wun three for the next five years.
