At halfway mark, the hosts England require 110 runs in 60 balls with eight wickets in hand. Jos Buttler again at the crux of the English innings, batting on 44 runs.

Huge wicket for West Indies as England lose Jos Buttler on 47 in pursuit of 197. Buttler fell to the reverse-sweep as he holes out to Johnson Charles, who makes no mistake.

ENG captain Harry Brook (34) walks back to the pavilion as the visitors fightback in the second innings. Few more wickets in the innings and England could find themselves in a spot of bother.
