Imagine being Roddy Estwick in the West Indies camp right now. Watching Jofra Archer
, who he taught and mentored from the time the youngster was in junior school bowling leg-spin, to now seeing him bowl bouncers in an England shirt against his team in a Test

Campbell lbw Anderson 28 (WI 43-1)
Third time lucky. England have their breakthrough and Jimmy Anderson can smile now.
This one was fuller than the previous two and that meant the ball would have gone on to hit leg stump rather than go over the top.

There's a smile on Anderson's face now. Finally he has extracted a review. There was a grimace on his face at the end of the appeal.

Brathwaite flicks the ball fine out of that man's reach for four.

I don't know what the right thing to do is. It's always been a part of cricket, bad light stopping play.

There isn’t much international sport going on right now, cricket had an amazing opportunity here to attract new audience members. All this going off for light, when there does not appear to be any safety issue, is not helping.

West Indies captain Jason Holder ,who took 6-42, on Sky Sports: "It felt good. I still felt really good leading up to the first Test. I was able to get a nice rhythm, and get some wickets.
"The ankle is a little store, a little stiff, but nothing I didn't expect. I need to stay on top of my pre-hab work and recovery."
On the changes he has made in recent years: "My patience has definitely increased. Before I was trying to bowl too many deliveries in one spell.
"I look at consistency, and patience was one of the things I was lacking. Using the crease is something I strive to do - and using the angles at the point of delivery. When you're not as quick as some people, you've got to be skilful."
