The covers are back on. I canā€™t see any drizzle but clearly there is. We might not start after lunch.

24

Restart at 13:55

Play will resume at 13:55 BST.

So when Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler do return to the middle, they may very well have to deal with Shannon Gabriel first up.

The West Indies paceman has been impressiveā€¦

Summary

  • England slip to 87-5
  • Gabriel three wickets, Holder two
  • Stokes dropped by Roach on 14
  • Denly 18, Burns 30
  • Crawley 10, Pope 12

Bess to Hope, OUT

Got him at first slip! Hasnā€™t landed too many in troublesome areas, but this will do nicely from Bess - a loopy, enticing full ball that curves deliciously away from Hope after starting outside off. Hope has the front foot out but the ball goes on and on, away from him, and he has a big flap at it away from the body. Goes straight on off the pitch and itā€™s a thick edge that floats up gently for Stokes. Just as a cloud comes onā€¦

SD Hope c Stokes b Bess 16 (64b 1x4 0x6) SR: 25.00

102-2

Brathwaite give out LBW and heā€™s reviewing, againā€¦looks high to me but itā€™s clipping the bails, just

Given out on Umpireā€™s call

BTW both Impact and Wickets were Umpireā€™s decision on that review, it was that close
