Chris Woakes 5-50(11 ov)
36.6
Woakes to Blackwood, 1 run, short of length around middle, Blackwood punches down the ground. Anderson jogs behind it hoping that it would cross the ropes, but it stops a few yards inside. So Blackwood will have his single to retain strike
36.5
Woakes to Blackwood, no run, defended to mid-on
36.4
Woakes to Blackwood, FOUR, there's the swagger from Blackwood as he crunches this through extra cover. Back of a length outside off, he stands tall and dismisses it off the back foot
36.3
Woakes to Blackwood, FOUR, short ball outside off, not a delivery Blackwood will hold himself back against. Flashes a top-edge over the keeper's head
36.2

36.1
Woakes to Blackwood, no run, back of a length delivery around the waist, tucked to deep square leg

Woakes to Gabriel, no run, is that it? Not quite. Just a touch too high as this nip-backer hits Gabriel on the back leg
34.5
Woakes to Cornwall, out Lbw!! That is five for Chris Woakes who bags another leg-before in his favour. What a lovely little spell this is turning into. Only into his 10th over yet and has ushered the slide for West Indies. Keeps it full, gets it nipping back in and has it crashing into the front pad in front of middle. Not too dissimilar to how Cornwall got out in the first gig, attempting an audacious pick-up shot. Cornwall lbw b Woakes 2(4)
34.4
Woakes to Cornwall, no run, speared in full, thuds into Cornwall's pad as he misses the flick. Would've gone down leg

Woakes to Cornwall, 2 runs, short of length delivery outside off, punched through extra cover. Finds the gap there and will help himself to a couple
34.1
Woakes to Dowrich, out Lbw!! That looked straight, Dowrich has been given OUT LBW and he's walking away. Fair to say, this was always coming - Dowrich was shuffling across in the crease and all it needed was for him to miss one ball, this one kept coming back with the angle, caught him bang in front of middle and off, was struck on the knee-roll, but he's a short man and the ball would have been crashing into the top of middle. Easy call for umpire Kettleborough and the end is nigh for the visitors. Dowrich lbw b Woakes 8(13) [4s-1]
32.6
Woakes to Dowrich, no run, on a good length and just outside off, Dowrich gets right behind the line as he defends it towards backward point

32.3
Woakes to Blackwood, 3 runs, lovely, back of a length and wide of off, Blackwood stands tall, high elbow as he punched it into the gap wide of cover, a long chase for Bess and they come back for the third

Woakes to Dowrich, no run, short of a length and well wide of off, Dowrich hangs back and finds cover with the cut
28.6
Woakes to Holder, out Lbw!! Loud shout for LBW and Kettleborough raises the finger in a flash. Holder will review though, has he got an inside edge? No, think he has missed - there were two sounds, but it's off both pads, UltraEdge confirms it - Hawk-Eye in and it's three reds. Holder is OUT. Terrific call from the on-field umpire - this was full and nipped back in late, Holder fell over as he looked to flick and missed, was trying to play too square and ended up falling across his stumps. The impact was in front of middle and it would have been crashing into the leg-stump. West Indies lose their captain and are in dire straits now. Holder lbw b Woakes 12(13) [4s-2]
28.5
Woakes to Holder, FOUR, nicely played, wrong line from Woakes once again, pitched up and drifting onto Holder's pads, he nonchalantly flicks it past square leg for a boundary

28.3
Woakes to Holder, FOUR, streaky and four, the swinging half-volley from Woakes, full and wide of off, Holder couldn' resist and went hard on the drive, squirted it off the thick outside edge and flew wide of gully for a boundary
28.2
Woakes to Holder, no run, nicely bowled, on a good length and shaping away from wide of off, lures Holder into playing at that and beat him on the outside edge
28.1
Woakes to Holder, no run, appeal for a caught behind - England didn't look all that confident but they have three reviews in hand. So, they decide to try their luck with one. Thinks it's a poor call - it's clearly missed the pad, brushed the pads on its way to the keeper. The third umpire checks for a possible LBW call, but it's going way down leg - a review wasted. On a good length and angling down leg, Holder was looking to flick and missed
26.6
Woakes to Holder, 1 run, long half-volley wide of off, Holder leans into an elegant drive and it's partly stopped at cover - they chance a single even as the man from mid-off has a shy at the bowler's end - Holder's long strides helps him make his ground easily

Woakes to Holder, no run, fuller length delivery outside off, Holder leans across and defends it to the off-side
26.2
Woakes to Blackwood, out Roston Chase Run Out!! England are celebrating and Roston Chase is walking back to the pavilion. That's a waste of a wicket for the visitors, they are slipping badly at OT. Dom Bess with the direct hit and Roston Chase had given up - short by a mile and West Indies have lost their sixth wicket. Daft cricket from the visitors - there wasn't a single there, Blackwood punched it off the back-foot and to the right of point, he set-off and Roston Chase had to respond, Bess moved across quickly, got a good bounce and threw on the move - smashed into the stumps with Roston Chase nowhere in the frame. OK - I have seen the replays and both batsmen seemed hesitant about the single, but they eventually decided to go. Roston Chase run out (Dom Bess) 7(20)
26.1

Woakes to Shamarh Brooks, out Caught by Buttler!! He's cut in half -- not before the inside-kiss though. It's a repeat of his first innings troubles, and now Woakes - a lesser Jimmy - gets the ball to cut back in big time off a back of a length. Brooks being Brooks has a flashy high-backlifted back-footed waft away from his body. Nah, the nibble's a little too good, inside-edging a tickle to the keeper. Shamarh Brooks c Buttler b Woakes 22(33) [4s-3]
20.5

18.4
Woakes to Shamarh Brooks, no run, length, around off, Brooks' rocking behind in defence
18.3
Woakes to Shai Hope, out Caught by Broad!! It was already a horrible tour, and he's made sure the end's uglier. A pretty short delivery, and Hope can't resist the pull on this. And he does with zero control. He's late, he's hurried, and ends up top-edging the toe-end. Broad - 500 - is at mid-on, and takes the reverse-cup rather comfortably with the rain spitting into his face. Nope, this ain't in his quota. Shai Hope c Broad b Woakes 31(38) [4s-6]
18.2
