Buttler given LBW, reviewing…
Going down leg side, overturned…260-5
No doubts about that one, Butler absolutely castled by Joseph for 9. The familiar England middle order collapse.

He looks SO out of touch at the moment
Can we take some hope from the fact that the new ball on this pitch is starting to look unplayable?
Or are we really just shit?
Bess gone for 3 bowled Gabriel
278-7
164 lead
Only 6 bowlers in the history of the game have hit the wickets (bowled) than Shannon Gabriel
And another one for Gabriel, Pope cut in two by Gabriel and bowled for 9. England 279-8.

Close of play, England 284-8,lead by 170. Lost their last 5 wickets for 35. If the tail enders can get us a 200 plus lead could be an interesting last day.

Just switched the cricket on to see Archer castle Brathwaite for 4

He “broke through” 1st ball. Looks like he bust Campbell’s toe with a screaming Yorker.
Windies technically 7-2
He lasted a few overs b4 hobbling off
Brooks gone LBW for 0 runs.
Archer has got his dander up.
7-2
Wood castles Hope for 9, inside edge onto thigh then the wickets
