Close of play! It's England's day (217-1)

The umps have called it a night. So it’s very definitely England’s day, and they lead by 153.

Zak Crawley (117 not out) has another magnum opus at last, Joe Root (84 not out) is back in the groove after struggling since Boxing Day, and together they have transcended a slow pitch to post a magnificent partnership of 193. But there’s now only one day left and the chances of a draw have ballooned to 81pc on CricViz. England’s chances are rated at 18pc, West Indies’ at 1.

The only way we’ll have a result is if England collapse, which is just about conceivable. Thanks for your company, correspondence and candidates for the Quirky XI. I’ll see you tomorrow, when play may start earlier than 2pm GMT to make up for lost time.
