Tea : England146-1, lead by 82. Crawley 79, Root 55.
Decent go by England, and they're upping the scoring rate but ultimately time will run out and this will be a draw.

Cometh the hour, cometh the Leach, or maybe not. lol

Crawley out for 121. A relieved Root just completed his century, Lawrence 26 (off 26 balls). Now lead by 208.
Lawrence batted the situation well there. Stokes needs to let fly now, and everyone else as well just attack from the off, and let Root bat through. Be nice to see an aggressive declaration by England and get the Windies batting before lunch.

And I think it's extended play today because of the rain yesterday - you just never know, the Windies tail is pretty weak.

Root and Stokes out, 314-6, 250 ahead, another 30-40 runs should do.

Tea : pleased by the bold decision by Root to declare at 349-6. Windies 4-0, need a further 282 to win. Mark Wood injured still and won't bowl.

And another, 65-3, Leach with his second, now Tea.
Couple of wickets.

Big ask to take 7 wickets in a session. England looked laboured with the new ball, and this pitch is dead... No pace, and no day 5 crumbling for the spinners.
