Root out to a snorter 34-3.

6 down, pitch sounds tough. We’ll see when the Windies bat I guess.

Really tough looking pitch, there's a fair bit of green on it. Bowling with aggression on this will bag plenty of wickets. It's one of those where you can't just defend and get set because you're never truly safe but if you try to play shots they're always a risk. That said there's been a few ropey shots as well.
I think Jimmy, Stokes and Broad will all enjoy this because the ball is doing plenty in the air and on the bounce.

Foakes is in front of Buttler in this side for me, if you had to choose. He is a much calmer batsman than most of ours and balances the side better. Plus he’s the best keeper of the three options available, by a distance.

Yep. Looks more comfortable down the order for me and has had some good knocks down there in recent years. This partnership might be a real game changer if they can carry it on.

Bloody hellfire. Our batsmen finding all sorts of ways of getting out. Moeen, Foakes play terrible shots. We need to get past the 200 mark to make it competitive but it doesn't look like we will. I just hope Broad's height and pace can be as difficult to play against. Same Curran? What's the point of him being in the side?

Pretty weak stuff. We’ll see how the Windies go, but that’s three dismal batting efforts on this tour so far.

Bairstow behind the stumps, presumably Foakes got injured when he got out?

Broad looks up for it. Bowling well but the Windies standing firm at the moment.

Another terrific day for the Windies. Getting through that final session is a massive plus for them.

Dread to think what Holding, Marshall, Garner, Roberts, Ambrose, Walsh et al would have done to a batting lineup on that wicket.
That ball to Root was completely unplayable

It's only a a difficult wicket if we get them out cheaply.
