Follow live text, in-play video clips and radio commentary as England host West Indies in the second Test at Trent Bridge.
Classic straight drive from Harry Brook, sending the ball past Jayden Seales, to the right of mid-off, straight to the ropes.I think the pitch might be getting lower. No bounce at there hardly from back of a length and Root got well forward and rode it and knocked it down.West Indies are taking a slip out already. They're just going to try and make it hard for England to score at the rate they want to and hope that brings the odd rash shot.
“I never like to say we’re in front in a Test, because half an hour can go against us and we’re behind the game again. “The fourth morning will be huge. If that partnership is extended to 150 or 200 then we’re taking the game away. If West Indies take quick wickets they will feel ahead again.” England got themselves out of a bit of a situation yesterday. Joshua Da Silva and Shamar Joseph had put on 71 for the final West Indies wicket, lifting their side to a 41-run first innings lead.
But the hosts dug in, in admittedly benign conditions - Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook all made half-centuries, the latter resumes today alongside Joe Root with England's lead at 207.
