We are all set for Day 5 action! Kraigg Brathwaite leads his troops in the middle. Alex Lees and Zak Crawley stride out to the middle as well. Spin to begin with. Veerasammy Permaul to start the proceedings. Here we go...

PITCH REPORT - Sir Curtly Ambrose reckons that it's a very dry surface. There will be variable bounce from time to time and he expects the pitch to play the same way.

Jonny Bairstow is up for a chat. He says that the attitiude that the guys showed was great. Mentions that they need to dig deep again if they have to force a result today. Tells that the further they go, there's more pressure to accelerate or for them to bat out for a draw. Informs that some balls have kept low, the way Jack Leach bowled, he was unlucky. Tells that when they come to bowl today, it'll be interesting. Informs that they will bat normally in the first half an hour.

Veerasammy Permaul is up for a chat. He says that it's not a wicket where you can go and blast as a batsman, you need to be patient. Mentions that the faster you bowl, it becomes easier. Tells that one got to bowl slower. States that in T20 cricket, he has opened with the white ball so it's not a new role for him to open with the red cherry as well.

Windies on the other hand, need wickets and in a heap. That is the only slender hope they have of a win. We have seen this England batting fall apart before and the hosts will hope it is one of those days. The first session will probably give us an idea as to which way is this game heading to.

Hello and welcome to the coverage of the last day of the second Test between Windies and England. The draw seems the most likeliest result as of now but we have seen funny things in happen in cricket and something tells me, we could be in for a surprise here. England probably are the side with a bigger chance of a win if there’s a result. They’ll though need to score quickly int he first session, we may also see Root make a brave declaration to force a result. He would want his bowlers to get at least 2 sessions to take 10 Windies wickets. It will be interesting to see if the wicket has depreciated, it needs to if there’s going to be a result.

... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...

A maiden for Holder! A bit of swing, on off. Alex Lees keeps it out.

Now a draw seems the most likeliest result. Unless we witness something special. England will probably hope to score some quick runs and then give themselves at least two sessions to have a crack at the Windies batting line-up. Windies on the other hand, will hope they can trigger a collapse in the first session. Do join us for what could be an interesting one. The action begins at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But the build-up will begin in advance. Do join us for that. Until then, goodbye!

End of yet another dull day of cricket! The game needed to move on quickly if a result was needed but that was not the case. The Windies batted at their own pace and they batted for more than two sessions before being bundled out. England had around 15 overs to bat, they already had a lead of just under 100, they did play with a little intent but Root would have loved the two openers to go at a much better pace.

The umpires will be checking the light with the light metre. It has grown darker in the last few minutes. It is too dark for pace and Kraigg Brathwaite suggested to one of the umpires that they were going to bowl pace. So, the umpires have decided to call it STUMPS.

OUT! THAT WAS PLUMB! It was a review more in hope! Angled into middle, length ball, stays a touch low. Permaul goes back to defend but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal and the finger is raised. It is reviewed but to no avail. Permaul takes a review along with him. England just the one wicket away now from bowling Windies out.

... DAY 4, SESSION 3 ...

A good session for England and they have gotten themselves into a position of taking a good lead. It started with Saqib picking Holder early. Then there was some resistance shown by Joshua and Brathwaite. However the third new ball really worked well for the visitors as they got two wickets. Credit to the England bowlers who have bowled with a lot of energy despite the amount of time they have spent out there. Also, the wicket has also started to play tricks now. They would hope to take the remaining two quickly after the break. Windies on the other hand, will hope the lower order adds as many runs as possible. Do join us for the last session at 1.20 am IST (7.50 pm GMT).

A bumper, ducked under. THAT WILL BE TEA ON DAY 4!

Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside off, the impact is in line and it is umpire's call on wickets hitting.

OUT! TIMBER! There is the end of a marathon innings from Brathwaite. He falls after facing 11 balls less than 500. A standing ovation for him as he walks off and rightly so. He has led from the front for his side. Also, something special was needed to get rid of him and Leach has provided it. The third new ball does the trick. This starts on off, drifts in, it lands around middle and leg and then spins away sharply. Brathwaite looks to defend but the ball turns enough to go past the outside edge and hit the off pole. Can England make quick work of the lower-order now? Windies still trail by 122.

Drinks! Saqib Mahmood grabbed his maiden Test wicket by dismissing Jason Holder right after Lunch but since then, West Indies have batted well and the bowlers aren't getting any help from the pitch.

Not the best of news to start the new session. Let's hope it's another passing shower and we get the action soon. Fingers crossed.

... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...

England on the other hand, continued to toil hard! The wicket seemed to have flatten even more as there was absolutely nothing in it for the bowlers. They though did manage to keep it tight but wickets is what they were looking for and they got just the one on the bowling of Stokes who probably was the pick of the bowlers in this session. They will need to continue to be patient and hope there is some sort of a collapse. At present we really do not see that happening. Stay tuned for another important session which will begin at 10.40 pm IST (5.10 pm GMT).

That is a solid session for the Windies! We said the first session could well dictate as to which was this game is going and for now, it seems like it is heading towards a draw. The hosts lost just the one wicket and have got the deficit down to just around 150. Both Joseph and Brathwaite showed great resistance early on and added above 50 before Joseph fell. Holder then has showed good solidness to hang in there with Brathwaite. More of the same is what they would want after the break.
