The ball nips away enough to catch the outside edge and the keeper, Jamie Smith gobbles it, diving away to his right. Mikyle Louis when he looks back at the dismissal will think that he was better off leaving the ball. End of a 61-run opening stand as Louis falls for 17.

Drinks! It has certainly been an engrossing hour of play in this final session of the day. England's pacers have consistently hit that hard length and line, but despite beating both edges of the bat consistently, they are yet to secure the breakthrough they’re seeking. Kraigg Brathwaite and Mikyle Louis have successfully navigated the challenging first half, where the ball exhibited variable bounce. The openers will aim to maintain their resilience and see off the remaining period without any casualties. Meanwhile, England will remain optimistic, sensing a breakthrough if they continue to persist with those tight lines and lengths. With 35 overs left in the day, it's unlikely we will get through all of them, but the remaining play promises to be intense.

With the lead now at 364, the upcoming hour of play promises to be exciting, with Root likely to unleash himself a bit more with the tail around. West Indies have displayed positive body language and bowled well thus far.

... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...

Right then, with five sessions left in the game, even with the loss of three wickets before Lunch, England are ahead but not by much. As for the West Indies, the second new ball is 4 overs away, and if they can get Root before that, they will have a real chance of bowling out the tail quickly. Normally, pitches do not deteriorate in England and if the pitch stays the way it is, the tourists will back themselves to chase anything upto 400. History says that West Indies' successful run chase in Tests in England has been 342, but records are meant to be broken. 65 overs are left in the day. Join us back at 6.10 pm IST (12.40 pm GMT) for the start of the second session.

Credit has to go to West Indies for not throwing in the towel and hanging in there. At the start of the day, West Indies bowled probing lines and lengths to keep the runs in check, giving a good account of themselves. However, except for the occasional ball beating the bat, there were no encouraging signs for them. Jayden Seales kept battling away in the face of resolute batting to strike twice in the session. Just when it felt that the visitors would have to be content with just two wickets, Kevin Sinclair nicked Jamie Smith off on the last ball before Lunch.

Starting the day with a lead of 207 runs, seeing out the first hour was a primary objective for the two English batters. The first hour saw Harry Brook reach his first Test hundred at home, while Joe Root notched up his fifty as the duo batted with a steady tempo for England. It was seemingly easy going for England until they lost 3 wickets for 19 runs. With Joe Root holding one end up, the hosts go to Lunch with a lead of 307 runs.

100/3 in 25 overs. End of an engrossing session of Test cricket. It was a tale of two halves - the first hour went England's way, as they scored 52 runs without any loss.

And here we go...

The visiting pacers’ best hope lies in making the most of the first hour of play, extracting every bit of assistance from the pitch to challenge England’s batting. If they can make early inroads, they may then leverage their spinners to try and keep the score to under 350. Will they rise to the occasion and pose challenges, or will England maintain their dominance and put one outcome of being handed a defeat to bed? Stick around as the answers will soon be revealed with the game set to resume shortly!

For the West Indies, the situation remains challenging. Their bowling has lacked sharpness and accuracy throughout the match, putting them in a difficult position as they struggle to find ways to dismantle England's batting lineup. Consistency has been their Achilles' heel, and despite having favourable conditions for bowling the previous day, they were unable to capitalize on it. With the pressure now mounting, the West Indies are fighting an uphill battle, struggling to find a way to reverse the tide.

With clear overhead conditions expected throughout the day, the pitch is likely to remain favourable for batters, rewarding well-executed cricketing shots, which bodes well for England. Given their current approach to Test cricket, don't be surprised if they adopt an aggressive strategy before declaring the innings later in the day. With seven wickets in hand and a deep batting lineup, the odds are certainly backing England to get over the line.

England have shown exceptional confidence in the third innings, with Harry Brook and Joe Root firmly in control raising the lead to 207. This duo's impressive stand presents a significant hurdle for the visiting team to overcome. Despite a few close calls on Day 3, where the ball whisked past edges or sailed beyond fielders, Brook and Root skillfully turned these near-misses to their advantage. Their solid, strategic play put England in a commanding position, with a strong sense of momentum which they would like to carry on today as well.

Hello and welcome to Day 4 of this thrilling second Test match between England and the West Indies at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. The game is finely poised, and today's play will undoubtedly shape the direction this Test match takes. So, grab a hot coffee and settle in for what promises to be another fascinating day of cricket.

... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, with the game nicely set up and all four outcomes still possible with two days remaining, rest assured this match promises to be even more entertaining and could potentially go down to the wire. England have their noses ahead at the end of Day 3, but they will know they need to post a lead of at least 350 plus to give themselves a strong chance. The visitors, pleased with their performance so far, will be looking to capitalize on the early morning conditions on Day 4 to keep down the potent English batting lineup to a chaseable total. Do join us on Sunday, the 21st of July, for all the Day 4 action. The first ball will be bowled at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT), but you can definitely tune in earlier for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye.

A change of ball due to the original losing its shape turned the tide significantly. The replacement ball proved to be far more effective, and Alzarri Joseph struck gold on the very first delivery, dismissing Ollie Pope and reigniting the West Indies attack. Joseph found his rhythm and nailed a yorker in his next over to dismiss Ben Duckett. Harry Brook and Joe Root then weathered the storm during this challenging phase, as the ball bounced steeply and the surface offered some assistance to the bowlers. The pair managed to stabilize the innings, ensuring no further casualties and steadily advanced the score with calculated risks to put on an unbeaten 108-run stand and take England to a commanding lead of 207 at the close of day's play.

In the afternoon session, England regained total control, shaking off their earlier struggles to start strong. Although they lost Zak Crawley to an unfortunate run out, Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett launched a fierce attack, scoring at 5.27 runs per over in the session, putting the West Indies pacers on the back foot. The West Indies had a poor start with the ball, appearing stranded with ordinary bowling and no answers to the challenges posed by the set batters. Pope and Duckett navigated the session comfortably, erasing the deficit and establishing a lead of 75 runs by the Tea break. With their morale dipping, the West Indies needed something special to shift the momentum and break the partnership.

Despite England's excellent bowling in the first session, where they took 5 wickets, one can say that the session ultimately belonged to West Indies. They battled tenaciously to surpass England's first innings total, securing a commendable lead of 41 runs. Joshua Da Silva weathered the difficult bowling phase under overcast conditions, with Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes delivering tight lines. He found a steadfast partner in Shamar Joseph, and together they frustrated the English bowlers with a resilient last-wicket stand. Their 71-run partnership gave the visitors a fighting chance, setting up momentum for the next innings after Lunch. Chris Woakes was the standout bowler for England, taking three wickets in the session and four in the innings overall.

SESSION SUMMARY - 29 Overs, 132 Runs, 2 Wickets - With the conclusion of Day 3, this game remains wide open with two more days to go.

UPDATE - 8.34 pm IST (3.04 pm GMT) - Uh-oh, unfortunately, we are not going to start the final session just yet. It is drizzling and it is concerning enough for the umpires to ask the ground staff to put the hover cover to cover the strip. While Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope have gone back to the dressing room, the West Indies players are still out there. Stick around as it should not be a long delay.

... DAY 3, SESSION 3 ...

Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope were largely untroubled in the second session and will look to continue in the same fashion with conditions expected to stay the same. As for the West Indies, they are left scratching their heads, searching for a way to find a breakthrough. With 40 overs left in the day, the extra half hour will certainly be used. Join us back in a bit for the third and final session of Day 3.

Having ended their batting effort on a high, the West Indies had the momentum going into their bowling effort. However, Jayden Seales was particularly guilty of bowling either too full or too short, resulting in the West Indies failing to capitalize on that momentum. With not much help from the pitch, the focus shifted to run-saving for the West Indies, and their struggles were such that they even failed to create half a chance. Moreover, the move to introduce spin did not yield them any success with Kevin Sinclair going for 21 runs from his 3 overs.

116/1 in 22 overs. End of a dominant session for England, scoring at an impressive rate of 5.27 runs per over. They started the session under a bit of pressure, considering what panned out towards the back end of the first session. Zak Crawley, dismissed for a duck in the first innings, had another short stay at the crease, getting run out backing up too far. Undeterred by that early loss, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope didn't shy away from playing their shots and quickly erased the 41-run deficit. Duckett has not been as explosive as he was in the first inning but ticked along nicely as did Pope to take England to a lead of 75 runs going into the Tea break.
