Kraigg Brathwaitec Joe Root b Ben Stokes 40 130 3 1 30.77
46.4
Ben Stokes to K Brathwaite, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Stokes provides the breakthrough England needed so desperately. End of the 73-run stand and Brathwaite's gritty knock has been cut short. A well-deserved wicket this for Stokes, he has looked threatening throughout and finally gets one. Alters his length this time, he has been slightly short but bowls it just ahead of a length he was bowling. It is around off, pitches and straightens just a touch. Kraigg ends up defending inside the line. The ball takes the outside edge and goes into the hands of first slip. Root makes no mistake. Stokes is ecstatic. England would hope this opens the floodgates.
John Campbelllbw b Moeen Ali 44 53 8 0 83.02
18.1
M Ali to Campbell, OUT! Plumb in front! The debutant goes 6 shy of a fifty. He was going for his shots and eventually that brings about his downfall as he went for one too many. A full and flighted ball on middle, Campbell goes for the sweep but misses it and gets rapped bang in front of middle. The umpire has no hesitation and raises his finger immediately. The debutant started walking away immediately and with good reason too. It would have been a waste of a review had it been taken as replays show us that it would have hit middle of middle stump. The first one down for the Windies and spin was the reason.
Shai Hopec Ben Foakes b James Anderson 57 148 6 0 38.51
65.2
J Anderson to Hope, OUT! Anderson gets Windies' talisman. From 126 for 1, Windies are now 174 for 4. Hope fails to convert and he trudges off slowly, disgusted with himself is the no. 3 batsman. He probably takes along with him the hopes of the Windies getting to a big first innings score. Anderson on the other hand is a delighted man. He is finally rewarded for continuously bowling in the avenue of apprehension. It is once again bowled there, this one comes back in a little. Hope looks to punch it away from his body but does not account for the movement. He ends up playing it outside the line. The ball takes the inside edge and goes into the mitts of the keeper.
Darren Bravolbw b Ben Stokes 2 5 0 0 40
48.2
Ben Stokes to Bravo, OUT! One brings two! That is exactly the case here for Stokes. What a top delivery this is. It has been pace, pace, pace all this while. This time though he rolls his fingers across the delivery and the length is extremely full, a yorker almost. Bravo is foxed completely. He plays down the wrong line, the ball hits him on the pads. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Bravo walks back without even thinking of reviewing it as he knew he was a dead duck. He does not trouble the scorers a lot and a poor return to the team for him.
Roston Chasec Joe Root b James Anderson 54 118 5 1 45.76
82.5
J Anderson to R Chase, OUT! Chase is out of here! Anderson strikes in his second over with the second new ball. He is a class act this guy. The last one came back in sharply, this one goes away and Chase had no answers to it. The length and line is also immaculate. Around off and just behind the driving length. Chase is half forward as he tries to defend. The ball takes the outside edge and goes at a comfortable height to Joe Root at first slip. He takes it with ease. Chase starts walking back but the umpire ask him to wait as they want to check for the no ball. It is just about fine and Chase has to continue his walk back. Another promising stand has been cut short. A good innings from Roston comes to an end. The Windies though would have loved more. Half the side back in the hut for the hosts. Can England pick a couple more before Stumps? 7 overs more to go after this one.
Shimron Hetmyerc Ben Foakes b Ben Stokes 81 109 9 2 74.31
101.3
Ben Stokes to Hetmyer, OUT! Gone! No hundred for Hetmyer. Caught behind acrobatically by Foakes diving to his left. A fuller length ball on leg and moving away from the lefty, he goes for the full throttle and gives a wild slog. The ball takes the outside edge and it flies to the left of Foakes who takes a lovely catch. Stokes ends with four wickets of his own. WINDIES END ON 289. The last 5 batsmen together have contributed exactly 5 runs from their willows. 3 ducks and the number 11 remained not out on 0. Only Holder got off the mark. An innings that began with a lot of promise ends quite less than what it should have actually gone on to be.
Shane Dowrich (W)c Jos Buttler b James Anderson 0 7 0 0 0
84.6
J Anderson to Dowrich, OUT! In the air... gone! Another one bites the dust and once again, England manage to take two in quick succession. The decision of taking the second new ball is proving to be a master stroke here. The leg cutter from Anderson, it is on middle, it takes off after pitching. Dowrich initially thinks of pulling but then seeing the extra bounce, takes his eyes off the ball. It hits the upper part of the bat and lobs towards the slip cordon. Buttler from third slip runs in and takes a dolly. England ending the day on a good note here.
Jason Holder (C)c & b James Anderson 5 8 1 0 62.5
86.6
Anderson to Holder, OUT! Anderson is on fire here! The Windies batsman are now falling like nine pins. Four-fer for Jimmy and it is his third with the second new ball. He goes full again around off, Holder looks to drive but then checks his shot, maybe because he wasn't to the pitch of the delivery. Ends up chipping it to the right of Anderson who takes a sharp catch in his followthrough. The Windies have completely lost their way here. England now into the tail.
Kemar Roachc Joe Root b Ben Stokes 0 8 0 0 0
89.2
Ben Stokes to K Roach, OUT! Stokes strikes now in the last over of the day! A brute of a delivery this one. It is banged in slightly short, takes off after pitching. Roach looks to defend but can't get on top of the bounce. It hits the handle and goes straight into the hands of Root at first slip. His third catch. Roach walks back and with him so do the other players and the umpires as IT IS STUMPS ON DAY 1!
Alzarri Josephc Jos Buttler b James Anderson 0 22 0 0 0
100.4
J Anderson to A Joseph, OUT! There it is. That is the breakthrough and also the fifth wicket for Anderson. The 27th time he has done in Tests. A typical Jimmy wicket, bowls this one on a good length outside off and makes it tail away very slightly. Too good for the number 10 batsman who pokes at the ball. The ball goes to Buttler at third slip in a good height. He pouches it easily and England after a frustrating 10 overs have finally broken through. The stand worth 25 has ended.

England innings

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Rory Burnsb Kemar Roach 2 26 0 0 7.69
11.5
K Roach to Burns, OUT! Soft, soft dismissal. Rory Burns has played it on here and Windies have a wicket just after Lunch. Around the wicket to the lefty, Roach delivers this one on a length outside off stump and angles it in slightly. Burns was looking to defend it with soft hands but does not present a full straight bat. The ball bounces a bit more as well and hits the top of the willow before bouncing on to go and hit the top of off stump. Looks gutted, it was the first ball he was facing after the break and he has to depart. This should lift Roach as well as his team. Can they snap up a few more quickly?
Keaton Jenningsc Shai Hope b Jason Holder 17 34 3 0 50
8.6
J Holder to Jennings, OUT! The skipper strikes, he draws first blood here. Jennings who looked nice till now perishes. Very good by Holder, he continues to bowl it on a fuller length, this one is slightly outside off. Keaton once again goes for the drive but with no foot movement. The ball takes a fat outside edge and goes into the hands of Hope at gully. Holder is ecstatic as he provides Windies the breakthrough they desperately wanted before the break. Still a few minutes to go, can they take another?
Jonny Bairstowb Kemar Roach 12 17 1 0 70.59
13.5
K Roach to J Bairstow, OUT! Played on again! In fact, elbowed on by Bairstow! Roach is on fire here, what ever he ate at Lunch has helped a lot certainly. A scrambled seam delivery from him once more and it moves in a bit after landing. The ball bounces more as well and beats the inside edge and goes on to hit the elbow. Then, it deflects on the bottom of off stump and the bails are off. Brilliant start for Windies whereas Jonny is standing wondering what has happened there! England like so often recently, find themselves three down early on in their innings. The hosts' fans are also elated and they're dancing in the aisles.
Joe Root (C)lbw b Jason Holder 4 14 1 0 28.57
16.2
J Holder to Root, OUT! The big fish is gone too! What a passage of play this is for the hosts. The fast bowlers are turning this game on its head. Joe Root has been caught in front here by his counter-part. A slightly fuller length ball on off and coming in quite a bit, Root is beaten as he plays outside the line and gets rapped on the pads in front of the stumps. A loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger almost immediately. Root goes up to his partner and consults him but then together they decide that it would be a waste of a review so he walks off. Good decision that as the Hawk Eye later shows us that the ball would have gone on to have 3 reds. Windies on fire here and picking 4 seamers doesn't seem such a bad decision now. The visitors still trail by 245 runs and look in a little trouble here.
Ben Stokeslbw b Kemar Roach 0 17 0 0 0
19.4
K Roach to Stokes, OUT! Umpire's call on the Hawk Eye and Stokes will have to walk back. Half of England is back in the dressing room now. Is this even real? Roach has his third and Windies are right on top here. Bowls the previous three balls on a short length and pushes this one to a good length. Stokes is beaten by pace and swing and gets rapped on the back foot. A loud appeal beckons and the umpire thinks a bit before raising his finger. Stokes will review it. The ball goes on to clip the top of leg stump. Hence, could have gone both ways but it is umpire's call and England are in dire straits here. The English supporters have gone quiet.
Jos Buttlerc Shane Dowrich b Kemar Roach 4 14 1 0 28.57
21.1
K Roach to Buttler, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Another one bites the dust. This time it is the man who has most of the times bailed England out of trouble, Jos Buttler. Fifer for Roach, his 9th in Tests and he is on cloud nine at the moment. Another brute of a delivery this, shortish and on off, it keeps climbing on the batsman. Buttler pokes at it and gets an outside edge to the keeper. Into the bowling all-rounders now. The visitors still need another 41 runs to avoid the follow-on. The way the wickets are falling, even that looks farfetched. Never thought I would be writing this.
Moeen Alic Alzarri Joseph b Kemar Roach 0 1 0 0 0
19.5
Roach to M Ali, OUT! In the air... taken! My colleague did mention, bowl short to Moeen Ali on this pacey wicket and he won't last for long and that is exactly what happened. None of us thought he would depart on the very first ball though. Kemar Roach is amidst a brilliant spell. He has four to his name now and England from 35 for 1 have slipped to 48 for 6. They are in tatters at the moment. Coming to the ball now - it is a fast short delivery, right on the body of Ali. He tries to pull it on the leg side by hopping but the ball takes the top edge and flies down towards fine leg. Joseph in the deep does really well to judge it. He keeps his one eye on where the rope is and takes an excellent catch. A golden duck for Ali and Roach is now on a hat-trick.
Ben Foakes (W)c Shane Dowrich b Alzarri Joseph 2 13 0 0 15.38
24.2
A Joseph to Foakes, OUT! Joseph now has a wicket to his name! Another top, top nut this one and the last recognized batsman for England is out of here. This is in the corridor of uncertainty. Shapes away a touch. Foakes lunges and tries to block but is done in by the movement. It takes the outside edge and Dowrich behind takes a neat catch diving to his right. 29 more needed to avoid the follow-on, 2 wickets in hand.
Sam Curranc Shai Hope b Shannon Gabriel 14 27 3 0 51.85
29.5
Gabriel to Sam Curran, OUT! No. 9 goes down! An absolute snorter that one. Just too much for Curran. Right on the body of the batsman. Curran takes his eyes off the ball and looks to duck awkwardly, the ball though is too quick and before he gets down, it hits his gloves and lobs towards gully. Hope there runs in and takes it easily. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Curran starts walking back but he is asked to wait. The umpires want to check if Gabriel is cutting the side crease. He isn't and Curran has to continue his long walk back. No heroics from him and another 17 needed to avoid the follow-on.
Adil Rashidc Jason Holder b Alzarri Joseph 12 18 3 0 66.67
30.2
A Joseph to A Rashid, OUT! ENGLAND HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 77. That is the lowest total by any team on this ground. Windies lead by 212 runs and have the option of making England come out to bat again. Coming to this ball, it was bowled just outside off on a good length and it shapes away at the last moment to take the outside edge and go to Holder in at second slip. Joseph picks up his second one to finish off the innings. That will also be TEA on Day 2. Incredible bowling, 9 wickets in the session.

Kraigg Brathwaitelbw b Moeen Ali 24 49 3 0 48.98
16.5
M Ali to Brathwaite, OUT! Once again Moeen Ali draws first blood! This was plumb in front! Quicker and flatter on off, it turns back in just a touch. Brathwaite goes back and tries to flick. He misses, it hits him on the pads. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Brathwaite once again walks back after getting a start. England need a few more quickly as the Windies are effectively 264 for 1.
John Campbellc Keaton Jennings b Ben Stokes 33 64 1 1 51.56
19.2
Ben Stokes to Campbell, OUT! The Drinks break does the trick for England. A very strange dismissal though and now both the openers are back in the hut. A short delivery by Stokes outside off, it pitches and it might have come slow off the surface. Campbell is way too early into his pull shot. It goes off the toe end towards covers where Jennings takes a dolly. Two wickets in quick succession, they need more here.
Shai Hopec Keaton Jennings b Ben Stokes 3 7 0 0 42.86
21.2
Ben Stokes to S Hope, OUT! Stokes has made up for him making his team lose a review here. Jennings has taken this at short leg. Hope is the one to go and that is the 17th wicket to fall today. Windies have slipped from 60/1 to 61/5. 4 wickets for 1 run. Unbelievable stuff this. A length ball on off stump, jags in a bit and Hope who was playing outside the line of the ball, tries to adjust but can only get an inside edge that goes onto the pads and then to Jennings at short leg. A very sharp catch that and England are right back in the game here surely!
Darren Bravoc Ben Stokes b Moeen Ali 1 4 0 0 25
20.2
M Ali to D Bravo, OUT! Bravo fails in the second innings as well. You just can't keep Stokes out of the game, pockets an easy catch at slip with his bucket hands. A good one with some drift bowled on off stump line, Darren is ahead to defend. Gets a slight edge that carries to Ben at slip. The nightmare return to Test cricket continues for Bravo. England have three quick ones. Can't have enough of saying this, they still need the wickets to keep coming.
Roston Chasec Ben Stokes b Moeen Ali 0 2 0 0 0
20.4
M Ali to Chase, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Two in the over for Ali and Chase bags a duck. This is tossed up outside off, it pitches and goes straight on. Chase defends for the non-existent turn. The ball takes the outside edge and goes into the big hands of Ben Stokes. A good passage of play for England this.
Shimron Hetmyerc Jos Buttler b Sam Curran 31 43 2 2 72.09
35.1
Sam Curran to S Hetmyer, OUT! They have got a wicket! England have broken the 59-run stand. Sam Curran picks up his first of the game. A length ball on middle and slightly shaping away. Hetmyer tries to drive on the up but gets an outside edge and the ball carries to Buttler who takes a good, low catch. This should lift the shoulders of England that were dropping a bit. Windies are effectively 332/6. Can they get one more before Stumps?

Rory Burnsb Roston Chase 84 133 15 0 63.16
43.5
R Chase to Burns, OUT! That's a massive wicket for Windies. Roston Chase has got the job done for his skipper. Big, big bonus. Chase switches the angle and comes from around the wicket, bowls it full and quicker through the air on off. It doesn't spin as Burns comes forward to play for the same. Goes right through the gate and takes the off stump. A wicket at the stroke of the break. LUNCH ON DAY 4!
Keaton Jenningsc Jason Holder b Alzarri Joseph 14 84 0 0 16.67
28.5
A Joseph to K Jennings, OUT! Edged and gone! Joseph provides the breakthrough. Seems like a wicket has fallen after ages in this Test. Bowls it full and around off, it moves away late and that does the trick. Jennings has no choice but to play at it and the edge in induced. It flies to the left of Jason Holder at second slip, who leaps to his left and takes a superb catch.
Jonny Bairstowc Shai Hope b Shannon Gabriel 30 53 6 0 56.6
46.5
S Gabriel to Bairstow, OUT! Bairstow departs and Windies get the third wicket. Back of a length on middle and leg, the ball goes down with the angle. Bairstow tries to flick it but gloves it behind. Hope takes a regulation catch behind the stumps. He does not get Root but makes amends for it by getting rid of Johnny Bairstow. Gabriel gets his first wicket of the innings.
Joe Root (C)c Darren Bravo b Roston Chase 22 39 3 0 56.41
57.3
R Chase to Joe Root, OUT! Just what the doctor ordered for Windies. Massive wicket here. Shorter around off, Root tries to cut it but it goes past his outside edge and straight to first slip. Darren Bravo there takes a sharp catch. Root cannot make most of the life he got and he is gutted with himself. He looks up in the sky dejected and walks back. The Windies players are enjoying it and Jason Holder is a happy man. Shannon Gabriel will be the happier man though as his wicket off a no ball has not costed them much. Windies need just 6 wickets more to wrap this up.
Ben Stokeslbw b Roston Chase 34 82 3 1 41.46
68.5
Chase to Stokes, OUT! No bat involved and Stokes has to walk back. Tossed up on off, the ball spins in after pitching. Ben Stokes tries to defend it off his front foot but misreads the spins. It hits him low on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire raises the dreaded finger. Stokes thinks for a bit and goes for the review. The replays show there was no bat involved at it was plumb. Hawk Eye shows all three reds and England lose their review along with half the side. They still need 415 runs more.
Jos Buttlerc John Campbell b Roston Chase 26 32 4 0 81.25
72.1
R Chase to Buttler, OUT! What a catch! Blinder! Windies have just sprung to life post Lunch and victory is not far away from them. Also, a 5-wicket haul for Roston Chase! Floats this on off, Buttler looks to flick it away but gets it off the bottom half of the bat. John Campbell at short mid-wicket dives full length to his left and takes a stunner. Jos cannot believe it and Chase picks up the ball and acknowledges the crowd. How long more before we get a result?
Moeen Alic Jason Holder b Roston Chase 0 8 0 0 0
70.5
R Chase to M Ali, OUT! Moeen is a goner. Another duck for Ali. Gets a pair in this match. Short on off, the southpaw tries to cut it but gets an outside edge and the ball goes to Jason Holder at second slip. He holds on to it and Windies get another wicket just before the break just as they did before the Lunch break. Just 4 more required to wrap up this dominant performance.
Ben Foakes (W)c Shimron Hetmyer b Roston Chase 5 8 1 0 62.5
74.2
R Chase to Ben Foakes, OUT! Roston Chase, you beauty! He gets his 6th of the innings. Flighted on middle, Foakes gets on his front foot and goes for the flick. He is not in balance and the ball goes to short leg. Hetmyer there does extremely well to hold on to that one. It is one of the most difficult field positions to be at and the young man is doing a great job.
Sam Curranst Shai Hope b Roston Chase 17 25 3 0 68

R Chase to Curran, OUT! There it is! WINDIES WIN BY 381 RUNS AND LEAD THE SERIES 1-0! What a win, what a performance! They will be celebrating tonight. Spectacular effort from Jason Holder and his men. Seeing Curran come down the track, Chase bowls it flat and down the leg side, the batsman misses and Hope behind the stumps finishes the formalities.
Adil Rashidc Kraigg Brathwaite b Roston Chase 1 6 0 0 16.67
76.1
R Chase to Rashid, OUT! Bye bye, Adil. Tossed up on middle and off, Rashid gets on one knee and tries to slog it over the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Kraigg Brathwaite there judges the skier well. He grabs it and then realizes he is not in balance and will go over the rope, so he throws it in the air, gets back in position and takes the catch. Windies are just 1 wicket away from victory.
