OUT! Bowled. Ben Stokes to Shannon Gabriel. In-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. Hooping in ducker from Stokes, Gabriel looking to hit the ball as far as he and gets castled. Stokes finishes with 6 for 22. Anderson is going to have to wait for his 500th Test wicket.
West Indies will be disappointed that their middle order could not add to a decent start made by S Hope and Powell but will be looking to take advantage of the favourable bowling conditions this evening. England will look to build up a huge lead. All eyes on their top order, though, as they have been a little wobbly of late.
OUT! Caught. Ben Stokes to Kemar Roach. Seaming away length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to slips, by Anderson.

Stokes has five wickets and gets his name on the bowling honours board, he's already on the batting one.

England's session, Stokes has bowled 13 overs on the trot and has done fantastically well, he should've had four wickets but Joe Root dropped Holder in the last over. West Indies have managed to scrape to tea only seven down. England will have one eye on batting tonight.

FOUR! Ben Stokes to Jason Holder. Out-swinging half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, thick edge past deep backward point for 4 runs. Dropped catch and the next ball goes for four, how many times does that happen? Fuller from Stokes and Holder gets a thick edge. The ball hangs in the air but goes between point and the slips.
Ben Stokes to Jason Holder. Out-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, outside edge to slips for no runs, dropped catch by Root.

OUT! Caught. Jason Holder to Stuart Broad. Short, to leg on the back foot pulling, bottom edge to wicketkeeper, by Dowrich. Not a massive celebration from the West Indies there. Broad gfor a wilkd swipe and a very fine edge just carries through to the 'keeper.
Some very valuable runs from the lower order for England there and gets them a very useful lead as well as a solid knock from Ben Stokes.
Kemar Roach was pick of the bowlers with his 5-fer, closely followed by Holder who, again, kept things tight at one end. Only the three seamers used by the West Indies.
Now we wait until after tea to see if Jimmy Anderson can pick up his 500th Test wicket. With conditions still possibly favouring the bowlers, will the odd bit of sunshine that keeps peeping through make batting easier?

How good is this man? Nips it back between bat and pad and smashes the leg stump to finish with figures of 7-42, which is a career best. Phenomenal bowling from England's number one. Cook and Stoneman jog off needing 107 runs to win the game and the series with time not an issue. Shai Hope tried to put up a fight with a classy 62 but in the end the bowlers were too good. Windies will be hoping for some overcast conditions and a hooping ball to get a win out of this.

APPEAL! OUT changed by umpire to NOT OUT after REFERRAL. Stuart Broad to Shannon Gabriel. Seaming in length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to wicketkeeper for no runs, by Bairstow, appeal made for Caught. Very nearly a king pair for Gabriel. The finger goes up after a sound was heard but there is a big gap between the bat and ball . What made the noise was the ball brushing the back leg on the way through to Bairstow.
OUT! Caught. Stuart Broad to Jason Holder. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket, by Anderson. Short ball does the trick for Broad.

Devendra Bishoo to Mark Stoneman. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot sweeping, to fine leg for 2 runs.
Stoneman scampers through for the second and England win the match by nine wickets, taking the series 2-1 in the process. It has been a very low scoring match but it has not been without it's drama. Both sets of batsmen were put under the pump with bowler friendly conditions around on the first two days but the one difference was a certain James Anderson. He was outstanding taking nine wickets in the game including 7-42 in the second innings and not forgetting his 500th scalp.
West Indies can take a lot of postives from this series with Shai Hope brilliant with the bat and Kemar Roach having a good comeback with the ball. They now have to carry on this form in their next Test series and try to push up the rankings.
