Maybe they do think they’re playing a JAMODI...

RESTORE - COOK - NOW !!!

A better day so far for England although the worrisome top order still failed.

Frommie, can you please change the title to 9-13 Feb. This is the 2nd time Dickinfo gave me a bum steer about Test dates.

Yeah, good effort from Stokes and Buttler, with able support from Extras...

Stokes seemingly benefited from a recent law change, recalled from the pavilion having been caught and bowled off a Joseph noey.

Aye, beams. At 4-107 England were staring down the barrel of another batting debacle.

Bring back Vince and the Belfard.

Good recovery by England.

Not for long... but does seem the lower order were genuinely blown away by the quality of bowling on this occasion.

And as predicted, WI batsmen seemingly making this pitch look like the M25. The whitewash is on...

Seemingly fairly evenly balanced atm. Another wicket here to England will tip the scales to them.

Windies struggling in the absence of their talisman skipper.

Wood gets Shitmon Hitmon to put the game right in England's court.

Aye Skulls. Fair old spell RD2.

Dickinfo says Wood is bowling seriously quick.

Ganjas in serious poo poo at 7-fer not-even-halfway.

Dowager and Cocky digging in. The 7 wickets have been shared by Ali and RD2

So Wood blows the Ganjas away in under 50 overs. Where has he been all series?

England lead by 123. What can WI do to get back in this? It will need something remarkable.

I have to say I thought Wood was a busted flush before this, made of glass as well as the fact he just never really seemed to get any wickets, as his 40+ average showed.

Just goes to prove there is value in picking bowlers to suit the pitches, even if such policies have backfired in the past (in Australia 13-14...)

Gosh if Jennings batted any slower in this match, he would be in reverse.

It's a pity that Denly didn't get a ton but it was a decent enough knock.

Root will get a ton in a dead rubber with no pressure

FFS England are 330 ahead and still won't play shots.
