Yeah, in the end we used to paper over all the shite starts. Nice innings by Foakes, shame it's not a bit more substantial, but certainly a good effort.
That is one miserable West Indies batting line-up. How is Campbell back in the side? With a long tail to boot. Mayers - or any other batting allrounder if he's injured - for Joseph seems a no-brainer... I think England probably have enough now for a first innings lead. (I accept that this England bowling line-up doesn't inspire much confidence either.)

Great fight back from 48/4. If England can get through the 2nd new ball and JB can go big tomorrow 350 would be outstanding.

So far, 100% of players to have batted with them in a test match have made a century.

Well done to Bairstow. I was a doubter but he has really turned his career around. Nice to see.

YJB hero. Having a good run since his latest return.

Same top order struggles for England but a very good recovery by the middle order. Fair play to Bairstow again, a ton in a live series always more important for me. Had decent support from Stokes, Foakes and now Woakes probably means England are in the ascendancy when it did not look at all likely at 48/4.

Well done England and Bairstow. Perhaps won day 1 after choosing to bat first and falling to 48/4 against a pretty decent WI pace attack.
scored all his runs in boundaries...can't get more positive than that, well compiled indeed...
Fair call on the live series, although I don't think anything could be taken away from the knock at Sydney. That was class. At the end of a big tour, with the quality of the Aussie attack, obviously the demoralised nature of that tour for England, it probably also paved the way for the confidence to score this ton as well. Always been a more than capable player ol' YJB

Fabulous innings from YJB it has to be said. That's the best he's batted against us. He usually looks a couple of deliveries away from being bowled between the gate but he was rock solid today, so fair play.
It looks a new ball pitch to me, as it really didn't do much between overs 40 and 80. Normally I'd say we has a slight advantage with the side that won the toss and batted being 260/6. But I understand why England fans feel they are slightly ahead after the winter they've had and the pure inadequacy of our top and middle order.
