Yep didn't seem that difficult  but with Broad bowling the way he is and the the uneven pitch creating doubt  it shouldn't be long before a wicket.

Looks to be pitching it up this morning. Can't believe it took a whole session for them to realise

Thoroughly enjoyed the "ARGH, (No Swearing Please) OFF" that was clearly audible!

Broad must be furious!

West Indies showing the benefit of playing off the new ball and cashing in now.

They should get a decent lead here - any lead on this wicket will be priceless

Oh get the spinner on for a couple of overs for chrissakes! This is just a meandering seam-party that isn't helping us at all!

So Curran's in the side basically for his slogging ability. His bowling is awful and Root clearly doesn't rate it at all.

I have to say that Braithwaite may not be the prettiest but he is a proper old school test match opening batsman, that quite frankly England are crying out for.

On an uneven pitch you have to attack the stumps.
There are over 1000 test wickets between Broad and Anderson so you would think they would know. But they are still obsessed with the fourth stump line.
A little prediction...
Curran will be the pick of the bowlers today.
Stokes will bowl too short
Everyone will say how unlucky Broad and Anderson were not to take more wickets!
Moeen will bowl well.
I am still standing by this... but Sam needs to bowl from the other end.

Yep Broad shows why he's so vital to this England side

Anybody else getting bored of watching England bowl a leave alone 5th stump line?
