00:00I mean they've got a huge job to do this morning. If the West Indies get that ball swinging like
00:13they did last night, it'll be a challenge. But both Root and Pope are in terrific form.
00:18It'll be interesting to see what happens when Moti comes into the attack actually,
00:21because I think he might get a little bit of traction on the deck today,
00:24having looked at it this morning.
00:30Two straight and the first boundary.
00:49Joseph's two straight as well, like Baez this time.
01:00Back-to-back boundaries this time. The credit goes to Pope off the outside edge.
01:12And Shemar Joseph strikes.
01:17An important breakthrough. All things considered, very good from the West Indies.
01:23Skiddy is Shemar Joseph. Not the tallest. Ball hurries on. Pope looking to cut and drags it
01:33onto his stumps. Duckett did that yesterday off the front foot. Pope has done it looking
01:39to cut now off the back foot.
01:57That's the line. That's the line again. And Jaden Seals once again continues to build
02:04his reputation and legacy. Not too dissimilar line from the way he got Brook out at Trent Bridge.
02:15Two straight and four. He just continues nudging and in a sense going along serenely.
02:22Terrific, more expansive.
02:38And halfway back at a point there from Ben Stokes.
02:46And that's all through patience. He's had a couple of those deliveries
02:50earlier this morning and he just checked drove them. Now he's really starting to get a sense
02:54of the occasion. It just gets better and better off the blade of Ben Stokes this morning.
03:11Strangle to teal.
03:12So just go back to the the frame when it's next to the bat. Confirming there's no bat involved.
03:19One more frame forward. Thank you. Flat line. Thank you. Go back to on on field.
03:23Nitton stay with your original decision of not out.
03:29Voice of the third umpire Rod Tucker. Pretty simple decision with the use of technology.
03:34That is typical Joe Root. Nice line and length delivery. Probing on off stump.
03:39Knocks it into the offside one. 115 for five.
03:50Hallmark of class and that and tremendous power from Stokes.
03:55Very compact half century by England's premier batter.
04:01And following his 100th up a trend bridge. He's on the march again Joe Root.
04:13And following his 100th up a trend bridge. He's on the march again Joe Root.
04:25A bit of fortune.
04:30For Stokes. Buys given.
04:39He's looked in command from the moment that he's walked to the wicket today Ben Stokes.
04:46Again not a good delivery. Expertly done by Shemar Joseph.
05:06Into the hollies for Ben Stokes. Another stroke of authority from him.
05:13150 comes up. 150 for five.
05:21And as easy as you like with the first ball after lunch.
05:25Ben Stokes goes to his 50. It was a real loosener from Alzari Joseph.
05:32And Stokes punished it really. Swiveled away. Put it to the fence. He moves to 52.
05:43And again. 12,000 test runs now for one of England's very best.
05:54Oh got him. The short ball ploy has worked. Stokes going for the pull.
05:59High on the bat. On the splice. And straight to square leg. A big moment.
06:06Yeah. Beautifully played. Beautifully played by Joe Root.
06:15Oh glove. Just past Josh da Silva. He's going to get four.
06:19But it could so very easily have been the end.
06:27Well there's a roar from the hollies.
06:31And that roar was emitted just a
06:34micro second after the ball went off Jamie Smith's bat. It went with a right crack.
06:44Not the best from Mosey. But the best from Joe Root.
06:53That's another gift. It was a gift to Root with a delivery that was short and wide.
06:58The sunnies hit the boundary but not the ball. So I think he's done pretty well there. Miquel Lui.
07:08Hammered. He hits the ball with such power. It was a slow loopy one from Motey. Which sort of
07:15got stuck in the pitch and has just been crashed through extra cover.
07:20That's it. Swept away and swept away for four. The change of line and angle for Motey.
07:28And has allowed Smith to take that away for four.
07:35This time a fine sweep. And that ball is racing away to the boundary.
07:41Excellent from Jamie Smith.
07:47That's hit low. That's hit the front pad. And Motey for the second time in this series has Joe Root.
07:59Yeah. Waits for it beautifully. Had a
08:06fully warped at one earlier. And now gets into a much better position.
08:17Warm at home. Very strong with both ball and bat.
08:21Playing average and batting.
08:25But abroad it's a little different a story.
08:28Because this time Jamie Smith leans on a back of a length ball from Shemar Joseph.
08:37That's right on the pads. Really full. And again Jason Holder faltering in terms of length and line.
08:45And punished very casually and easily by Jamie Smith.
08:51Short it was. And dealt with beautifully.
09:02He's strong there. He's really strong there.
09:07Dismissive from Jamie Smith.
09:14Well controlled again. Sure abroad can't believe the fine leg is as wide as he is again.
09:22Oh wow.
09:29And it's not a great ball. It has to be said.
09:37Short it was. But it's four more.
09:42Yet more runs from the bowling of Alzari Joseph. 17 from that over.
09:48Oh spot. Chris Wokes.
10:04Smith had to wait for that delivery. Just stayed in front of him forever.
10:08That shot that he plays so well with full extension of the arms. The pull is really wide of mid-on.
10:20Don't bowl there to Jamie Smith. It's a beautifully timed stroke through mid-wicket. And he's into the 90s.
10:29Oh he's bowled him. That has kept low. It was a short ball.
10:34Smith as he has done throughout this innings will take on that short ball.
10:46Lovely from Gus Atkinson. We can bat actually. I know West Indies were trying to.
10:50Good moment for Chris Wokes. On his home ground. Going through to a half century. An important one.
11:04Wonderful shot. On the up. Not a half volley by any of the players.
11:10Wonderful shot. On the up. Not a half volley by any stretch of the imagination.
11:16But he's a really free-flowing player through the offside.
11:22Wokes is going to take it on. It's a top edge. And it's flown away towards the boundary. Reaches the boundary.
11:28Not been great from West Indies.
11:32Gone. Backs away to the leg side. Tries to open up.
11:36Gone. Backs away to the leg side. Tries to open up the offside.
11:40He's found extra cover. But he's played exceptionally well Chris Wokes.
11:49Has pulled away. He's got hold of it. He's got all of it. That's a way for six.
11:52That's why they've not declared. Excellent from Atkinson.
11:57We're going to have a repeat.
12:00He's got hold of that. No one's moved.
12:02No one's moved.
12:04Back-to-back sixes from Gus Atkinson.
12:09Goes again. Leg side. Doesn't get it out.
12:14Moti takes the catch. England's innings is over.
12:18Nazari Joseph picks up his fourth.
12:223.76 all out. England's lead 94 on first inning.
12:27Not so long ago you wouldn't see
12:31numbers 10 and 11 being able to play shots like that. This one he doesn't get
12:36rushed him a little. Hit the top of the bat. Moti took a good catch in the end.
12:42And that is that. England lead by 94.
12:47Bowling. Beauty. Absolutely spot on from the local boy.
12:52And England have the first breakthrough. And it has come in the first over.
12:55The inside edge misses. Leg stumped.
13:00That could have gone anywhere. Ricocheted off the pads. Back on.
13:04In the end.
13:10He just rides that ball through the gap.
13:16Comfortable three.
13:17Does not move after striking that ball so nicely.
13:2316 for one.
13:27In the air.
13:29And it through hands. Would you believe it?
13:32It stokes. And he's put it down.
13:34He can hear it.
13:36And all it took was the catch behind the wicket.
13:43And so comes the end to a disappointing series for McKenzie.
13:48Push it a little wider. Or indeed whether he's saying what Stewart was saying.
13:52And he's got it.
13:54And he's got it.
13:56And he's got it.
13:58And he's got it.
14:00And he's got it.
14:01Push it a little wider. Or indeed whether he's saying what Stewart was saying.
14:08If he's not hit that, it is very close.
14:12The bat is no longer in Mikhail Lui's hands.
14:15The bat is elsewhere.
14:17England will have a conversation.
14:19And Ben Stokes will send it upstairs.
14:28Adrian, you're staying with your original not-out call.
14:31Let you know when you're on screen
14:35It is a game of very fine margins the margin in this instance is in the Kyle Lewis fade
14:49Kyle Lewis survives he was given a life by Ben Stokes at mid-off, but he's done well
14:56That apart to get through that session. He finishes on 18 athenaeus is five
15:01You
