After a day's play which ebbed and flowed, the first Test between England and the West Indies is firmly hanging in the balance heading into day three, with the hosts trailing by 109 runs in their first innings.
Having resumed on 268-6 with Jonny Bairstow unbeaten on 109 alongside Chris Woakes, England were looking to try and pass 300 in a Test match for the first time since the third Test against India back in August.
Although they did manage to reach that target, they lost two further wickets in the process as Jayden Seales picked up two in three balls.
Woakes was the first wicket to fall, getting caught behind for 28 after falling victim to a short ball, and Craig Overton was then dismissed for a duck just two balls later, with Nkrumah Bonner taking a sharp catch at short leg.
Meanwhile, Bairstow continued to attack and he brought up England's 300 with a guided four down to the third man boundary.
Mark Wood then became the third wicket to fall on day two, with the England quick skying an Alzarri Joseph short ball to point.
Bairstow eventually fell for 140 after pushing England up to a first-innings total of 311, with Jason Holder taking a brilliant catch to end his innings.
In response, Woakes and Overton took the new ball in the absence of James Anderson and Stuart Broad, but the pair failed to make any early inroads.
Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell got off to an excellent start for the West Indies, putting on an 83-run partnership in double quick time as England's bowling left a lot to be desired.
Overton ultimately made the breakthrough in his second spell, getting Campbell caught behind for 35 with a short ball.
Captain Brathwaite, meanwhile, scored his quickest Test half-century off just 62 balls, before getting caught at gully of Wood for 55.
Ben Stokes then made England's third breakthrough, claiming the wicket of Shamarh Brooks for 18, before Woakes got Jermaine Blackwood caught at gully for 11.
It was a good fightback from England after their early struggles, but Nkrumah Bonner and Jason Holder were able to halt their momentum and see the West Indies through to the close of play.
The pair shared a 75-run partnership and will resume on 34 and 44 respectively on day three, with the West Indies reaching 202-4.
Here are five talking points from the day's play.
England reach the elusive 300 mark
In what may yet prove to be an important moment in their post-Ashes reset, England were able to pass 300 in a Test match for the first time in 13 innings.
The last time England managed to reach that total was also the last time they won a Test match, while their eventual total of 311 was their highest Test score to not include a hundred from captain Joe Root since August 2020.
Lack of new ball threat without Broad and Anderson
Having controversially axed their all-time leading wicket takers for this tour, England would have been keen to get off to a good start with the new ball and prove their decision correct.
However, the opening pair of Woakes and Overton proved expensive, with Woakes going at an economy rate of almost eight and Overton going at almost four when they were both removed from the attack after just three overs each.
It was a poor start from the two seamers, with Brathwaite and Campbell bringing up their fifty partnership from just 67 balls.
Speaking after the end of the first session on BT Sport, Carlos Brathwaite summed things up, saying: "The bowling was not up to Test standard."
Brathwaite's rapid fifty
The West Indies skipper is typically a patient, dogged batter, but he came out of the traps uncharacteristically fast against England.
During the Ashes, Anderson and Broad's reluctance to pitch the ball up became a source of much debate, with captain Root publicly calling on England to bowl fuller and the veteran seamers defending their hesitancy to do so.
With Anderson and Broad absent in this Test, Root got what he wanted and England's seamers bowled much fuller with the new ball than they did in Australia.
However, Brathwaite looked to attack early in his innings, highlighting the downsides of England's strategy and racing to a 55-ball half-century - his fastest in Test cricket.
Brathwaite's innings ensured the West Indies got off to an excellent start, with the 29-year-old sharing an 83-run opening partnership with Campbell.
England fightback after early struggles
After their poor start with the ball, England picked up a quick flurry of wickets to stall the West Indies' progress.
Following their impressive opening partnership, the hosts lost four wickets for just 44 runs as they slipped from 83-0 to 127-4 before tea.
England's bowlers found more joy when they began to bowl back of a length more often and hit the pitch, with Wood and Stokes the pick of the seamers.
However, Campbell, Brathwaite and Brooks will all be disappointed with the manner of their dismissals.
Bonner and Holder dig in
Following their mini-collapse, Bonner and Holder got stuck in and shared a key partnership of 75 runs which saw the West Indies through to the close of play.
Coming together with the score 127-4, the pair halted England's momentum and ensured the hosts ended the day without losing any more wickets.
Bonner and Holder were content to simply defend for much of their respective innings, with the pair scoring a mere 10 boundaries between them.
