Gus Atkinson to Alzarri Joseph, no run, looked like a warm up delivery that from Gus Atkinson. Short and sliding down leg, Joseph doesn't bother with it
Right! It's game time in London. Murky skies and Atkinson will resume proceedings. 3 slips and a gully. Off we go...

10:30 local, 09:30 GMT, 15:00 IST - start of day 3:
West Indies' inexperience again showed in their batting today even as they fought well with the ball not to give England a huge first innings score. Motie with a couple of crackers to get Stokes and Root. It's their batting which should be a big concern going ahead for the rest of the series. Tomorrow should be the last day of this game. We will be there to bring all of it to you. Do join us then, for now it's bye bye.
18:32 Local Time, 17:32 GMT, 23:02 IST: That Holder wicket means England will hope to finish it off early on day 3. Once again it's been all England today. Brook and Root missed out on hundreds but Jamie Smith on debut showed what a fine prospect he is as he batted superbly. He was rock-solid and then opened out when he had the tail for company. The six over deep mid-wicket off Seales was the highlight of his innings as it flew out of the ground and on to St John's Wood Road. He was unlucky not to get a debut hundred as he holed out looking for quick runs. Then West Indies in their reply once again struggled as they lost four wickets in quick succession. Athanaze and Holder tried to rebuild before Anderson worked over the former and got him out. Holder was not happy with something behind the bowler in the last over from Gus Atkinson and he perished to a short ball - the ploy set up by Stokes for the last over and it worked beautifully.

Gus Atkinson to Holder, out Caught by Ollie Pope!! The short ball does it. Holder is gutted. He is chuntering away not happy with something behind the bowler's arm. That will be stumps as well. The short ball rises to provide uncomfortable questions to Holder who fails to ride the bounce, pops it up and Pope at deepish short-leg takes a simple catch diving forward. Holder looked good till he fell to what was the last ball of the day. Stokes and Co are thrilled as they celebrate. Holder c Ollie Pope b Gus Atkinson 20(59) [4s-2]

Holder walks down to have a chat with Joshua Da Silva. Will be the final over of the day. Deepish short-leg in.
