  1. Post update

    And after a Test that went the distance, it's time to wave Antigua goodbye. It's a quick turnaround for both teams with the second Test starting in Grenada on Tuesday. It's the first time England have played a Test there.

    Thanks for your company and messages over the last five days - I'm sure there will be plenty of debate around England's team selection for the next Test between now and then, but make sure you join us on Tuesday. (Or we'll send the Seaweed Man to get you). Farewell for now.

  2. Text 81111

    Timothy, Swaffham, Norfolk: I know there was no win, but this is Test cricket, a good match that kept me hooked and happy for five days, thank you TMS.

    Simon Taylor: Somehow if it had been the other way round I doubt England would have lasted the day. We seem unable to kill off opposition and yet we crumble at the first sign of weakness. We remain a very fragile side. Not looking forward to the Ashes.

    Joe Gates: Congratulations @jimmy9 a fantastic achievement for a great guy, and hard luck England, great effort just came up short.

  4. Review of the day

    England began the day with hope. West Indies began on 98-2 chasing a theoretical 438, and the tourists had the better of the first session after Devon Smith (65) and Marlon Samuels both perished to rash shots, and the usually obdurate Shivnarine Chanderpaul fell to Joe Root's part-time spin.

    After lunch, Jermaine Blackwood played an even dafter shot to leave the Windies 189-6 with plenty of overs left. But captain Denesh Ramdin (57) and especially Jason Holder (103 not out) saw the Windies through to the close with three wickets in hand.

    Danny Bromley: To be honest that was another poor England display. Never look like taking a wicket!

    Michael Shaw: England rushing to blame the wicket but seeing Broad et al bowling in the high 70s wasn't helping create anything on this deck.

    Matt Chapman: Once again, English cricket fans showing just how pathetic they can be.

  6. Post update

    You'll be able to listen again to the "full monty" from Geoffrey on the TMS podcast page a little later.

    Already on there are various highlights and features from the last five days, such as the journalists' panel today, the T20 Blast preview (day four), "The Real Jimmy" (day three), "Ask Viv" (day two) and TMS's tribute to Richie Benaud (day one). Plenty to listen to over the weekend.

  7. Captain's view

    West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin, who made 57: "Hopefully it is one of many to come. Kemar Roach held his nerve well at the end.

    "England fought hard - they came at us all the time. But it was still a good pitch.

    "If we lost a couple of quick wickets this morning, we could have been in trouble. Partnerships are crucial."

    Former England all-rounder Derek Pringle: One thing both Jimmy and Beefy do have in common is that they are both staunch team men, unlike some we could mention.

  9. Captain's view

    England captain Alastair Cook: "We knew it was going to be hard work, and it proved to be. Getting three wickets in the first session was a great effort. Credit to Jason Holder, we couldn't have done any more. I can't fault the lads' effort.

    "In these conditions, you almost have to play the perfect game and that doesn't always happen. We dropped a couple of tough chances but I think it would be harsh to focus on those. It was a tough wicket. The lads fought incredibly hard.

    "The West Indies bowlers put the ball in some really good areas. It was a great moment when Jimmy took the 384th wicket, we'll remember it for a long time."

    Alastair Cook

    Geoffrey Boycott

    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    What about England's top order?

    "Three, four and five are secure now, but do you drop Trott for Lyth when the captain can't find a run? I wouldn't have picked this squad here, but I'd pick Lyth for Grenada, you can't drop the captain - I think it's the weight of the captaincy on him now rather than his technique. It's between the ears and until he gets some runs, it weighs heavily on you."

  11. Man of the match

    Man of the match Jason Holder: "My job is simple, it's just to bat. It was great o get support from the other guys, Denesh put on a really good partnership with me.

    "We didn't have a good morning, but there's a word that we've been using in the dressing room, and that's belief. It's my first hundred, and hopefully it's the first of many. I see myself as a genuine all-rounder.

    "It's a burden off my shoulders not to be captain, but it's something I like as well."

    Geoffrey Boycott

    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    "If you're looking to improve the team next Test, on a slow surface, one of the seamers has got to go - probably Jordan. If you're bringing Moeen Ali out from England, he'll play, and to bring in Rashid, they might have to leave out Tredwell."

  13. Man of the match

    West Indies' Jason Holder is named as Man of the Match - with honourable mentions for Ian Bell and Joe Root.

    In a less close contest, the Seaweed Man has been named (by me) as Seaweed Man of the Match.

  14. Anderson sets new England record

    Previous leading England wicket-taker Sir Ian Botham on Sky Sports: "I'm delighted for Jimmy. It's been a burden for him and for me. He was always going past it.

    "I've watched him develop those skills. It's not easy to bowl the inswinger and away-swinger with very little detail change but it's great to watch those skills. I enjoy watching him bowl, it's a pleasure to commentate.

    "I've got something for him in the UK, it's too big to bring over but he'll enjoy it. It's the largest bottle of wine that I've been able to find in Europe. It's about as big as Jimmy."

  15. Post update

    Geoffrey Boycott

    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    "After Blackwood was out, we got the best cricket of the day. I thought Ramdin played superbly, he got forward and played straight. Holder was brilliant. He can bowl, he can really bat - that wasn't a fluke. He would benefit from a season in country cricket, he'd be a revelation. He didn't slog it, he's a nice clean striker of the ball."

    Anthony Slack: Outstanding performance from the West Indies! Good stuff from both sides. Obvious where both need to improve!

    Portobello Disco: Australia would not have let that game get away. This tactic of ensuring we don't lose first has got to change.

    Richard French: Let's not moan about England but congratulate West Indies. Fantastic effort. Well done Jimmy Anderson. So many more wickets to come.

  17. Anderson sets new England record

    More from James Anderson on Sky Sports: "I think the difference from when I started is that I know my game now. When I started I didn't have a clue, ran up and bowled as hard as I can. I developed skills over the years that stand me in good stead to hold my own in the game.

    "[Breaking the record] has not been a target. I love taking wickets for England, you pick up milestones along the way. It was a huge landmark for me picking up 100 Tests this week, that's what I focus on.

    "My target is to keep my place in the side. We have a hugely talented side at the minute and everyone is very excited about where we go."

    Geoffrey Boycott

    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    "The fourth day and today have been the best cricket of the match - you could tell as local people were coming to see if West Indies could hang on. England did everything they could, the pitch was very difficult to bowl people out as it's slow and low, and gives people time to defend. Devon Smith got out slogging, Marlon Samuels has lots of talent but not much brain as he missed being stumped, made another airy-fairy drive and got out, and Jermaine Blackwood played about the worst shot in Test cricket. If you see one worse, you can ring me up - and reverse the charges."

  20. Anderson sets new England record

    England bowler James Anderson on Sky Sports: "We got into a great position. We got ourselves back in the game with a great hundred from Belly and Gaz [Gary Ballance] but we couldn't find anything in that pitch whatsoever, we tried our hearts out.

    "My immediate emotion [when I got the wicket] was we were back in the game. We were hoping to get the win. Hugely proud, great to have my family here as well and taking over from an English legend is a hugely proud moment for me."

    Michael Vaughan

  23. Post update

    I'm sure the knives are being sharpened for certain members of the England team already - but let's not take credit away from Jason Holder, who stood up to be counted when some more experienced players played some pretty awful shots today.

    Michael Vaughan

    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "It was tense, but not as tense as I thought it was going to be. What an innings from Jason Holder. Clearly the West Indies have found a cricketer who is going to be around for a long, long time. When he came to the crease, it was looking like it would be all over by tea, but he barely played a false shot."

  28. Post update

    What a game for Jason Holder - surely a contender for man of the match. With a previous best first-class score of 52, his unbeaten 103 came from 149 balls and has ensured the series remains level.

    And one stat remains: England have still never won a Test in Antigua.

  29. Post update

    Jonathan Agnew

    BBC Test Match Special

    "West Indies have put together a tremendous fightback. I hope Jason Holder walks of to a huge ovation. England will be hugely disappointed, this match seemed destined to end at tea-time, but it's gone the whole distance."

    Roach digs out the fourth ball of the over, Cook walks up from slip and offers Roach his hand - West Indies have secured the draw.

  35. WI 350-7 (5 balls left)

    We're into the last over - Anderson to bowl. Roach just needs to survive the first four balls and they can shake hands on a draw. He defends the first.

  36. WI 350-7 (1 over left)

    Holder is back on the defensive, and the Caribbean fans are up on their feat saluting their new hero. He plays back the last ball of Tredwell's over - who will bowl the last? Gotta be Jimmy?

  38. 100 for Holder

    WI 350-7

    Another four smacked through long-off brings Holder his century - it's his maiden first-class ton, let alone Test cricket.

    And it uses up another delivery - West Indies have nine balls to survive.

    Fenners: Difficult to know if this is inept bowling or a flat pitch. Bit of both maybe?

    Dobablo: Come on Holder. Chance a few attempting to reach your century.

  40. WI 346-7 (1.5 overs left)

    Holder, on 95, smacks Tredwell down the ground... it's four when it looked like it was going for a flat six. 11 balls left.

  41. WI 342-7 (min 2 overs left)

    It didn't touch his bat - his bat just hit the ground, which may have produced a noise. And Roach survives again with two overs left.

    The unintended consequence of that review may be that we don't have enough time to get more than two overs in, in three minutes. England seem to have realised that as Joe Root takes a while to don shin pads to stand at bat-pad.

  42. Umpire review

    With the field moved to the leg side, Roach jams his bat down and England appeal for a catch behind. Billy Bowden shakes his head and England, desperately, call for a review...

  44. Close!

    WI 342-7 (min 2.3 overs left)

    It's been James Anderson's day, setting a new England record for Test wicket - can the Burnley magic blow away these last three wickets? He finds Roach's edge... it bounces agonisingly in front of the slips and away for four.

  45. WI 338-7 (min 3 overs left)

    Tredwell to continue. Holder, on 91, guides a two off his legs, then guides a two between silly point and gully. The Antiguan fans are loving this, he's up to 95.

    The equation is this. Three wickets needed. Three overs (minimum) left. Tension cranked up to 11.

  46. Post update

    Andrew Samson

    Leonard Odicean: If my wife were locked in toilet, this England team couldn't get her out.

  48. WI 334-7 (min 4 overs left)

    After one over of Jordan, England turn back to Joe Root - whether as a wicket-taking partnership-breaker, or as an attempt to whistle through another over in order to get an extra over in. Roach, having defended so well, is tempted into a flashing drive at the off-spinner and misses but survives... Root goes round the wicket, but Roach sees out the maiden. Only 24 more balls - or 13 minutes - for West Indies to bat out the draw.

  49. Post update

    Nick Gibson: If only we had a leg-spinner bowling on a 5th day track... that's right we have just didn't bother picking him.

  51. WI 334-7 (Holder 91*, Roach 11*)

    Holder goes for the drive again, the ball sails to the backward point boundary and he's into the 90s with five overs left.

  52. Dropped catch

    WI 330-7

    Close! Holder aims a powerful drive, it comes off the shins of the helmeted Gary Ballance at short point, spoons into the air and James Tredwell nearly takes a superb return catch diving to his left, but can't hold on.

  53. Anderson's greatest moment?

    In one of the closest Ashes contests in history, Anderson claimed 5-85 and 5-73, including four wickets on the final day to seal a thrilling 14-run win over Australia at Trent Bridge in 2013.

    James Anderson
  54. WI 330-7 (min 6 overs left)

    Chris Jordan replaces Broad as Captain Cook shuffles his bowlers. Holder steers a three to move to 87 - that's 13 short of what would be a landmark maiden Test century. The close fielders crouch down again, but Roach again defends his stumps adeptly before helping the last ball down the leg side for four.

    There is now a minimum of six overs left - if England get a shift on, they might just get an extra one in before the official close of play at 22:12 BST.

  57. WI 323-7 (England need three wickets to win)

    Tredwell to continue, sweat glistening on his balding bonce. Holder steers a two through mid-off, he's standing tall in every sense here for what would be a gritty draw for West Indies - he even jabs a single off the last ball to keep the strike.

  60. Anderson's greatest moment?

    Anderson removes Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke in his first two overs to set up England's thrashing of Australia at Adelaide on the way to a 3-1 Ashes triumph in 2010-11.

    James Anderson
  61. WI 320-7 (min 8 overs left)

    It's a rare event in a Test to see all nine fielders in the picture as Broad charges in to Roach, who does excellently to dig out a couple of yorkers speared in at his boots, jamming his bat down well, and looks every inch the composed batsman as he squeezes a two through point.

  62. Post update

    Graeme Swann

    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "I'm pleased to see James Tredwell coming on. He just needs to bowl slightly quicker than usual, see if he can get it to grip and spit. On a pitch like this, you can't afford to bowl too slowly, as the batsman can just play back to you. I don't want to play devil's advocate, but this would be the perfect time for a leg-spinner."

  63. WI 318-7 (England need three wickets to win)

    Stokes off, Tredwell on as England search for that magical breakthrough. But Holder holds firm. Maiden over. Nine to go.

  64. Post update

    Andrew Samson

    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    "If West Indies save this, it will be 50.5 overs after the fall of the sixth wicket, which will be the fourth longest any team has batted after the fall of the sixth wicket to save a Test match. The last six times a 10th-wicket partnership has saved a Test match, it's been a match involving England."

    Suddenly I'm reminded of Monty's commando-crawl in Auckland, Onions holding off Morkel at Cape Town, and many others...

  65. Anderson's greatest moment?

    Anderson exhibits his full swing-bowling repertoire en route to career-best figures of 11-71 as England destroy Pakistan in the first Test at Trent Bridge in 2010.

    James Anderson
  66. WI 318-7 (min 10 overs left)

    Holder guides Broad for a three to mid-on, still showing confidence in his partner. Roach averages under 10 in Test cricket, with a top score of 41, but he's doing a superb job for the Caribbean region today. A straight bat from the Bajan means it's 10 overs left for them to survive.

  69. WI 315-7 (England need three wickets to win)

    Jerome Taylor is padded up, big Sulieman Benn has donned thigh pad and armguard in the West Indies viewing area - but they'll hope not to be needed here. Another fluent square drive off the back foot brings Holder four - I agree with Sir Viv that the Windies have a very valuable player on their hands here. A single brings Roach on strike, and brings in everyone around the bat. Stokes bowls it full, but Roach hangs on.

  71. Anderson's greatest moment?

    England's final pair Anderson and Monty Panesar defy Australia for 40 minutes to clinch a draw with Australia in the first Ashes Test at Cardiff in 2009. Anderson survived 53 deliveries and Panesar 35.

    James Anderson
  72. WI 310-7 (min 12 overs left)

    After a six-over spell which included that crucial 384th wicket, Anderson gives way to Stuart Broad, who tests Roach with a bouncer which flicks off his torso as he ducks out of the way. A hostile maiden over is batted out - 12 left.

  73. Anderson sets new England record

    Former England all-rounder Derek Pringle on Twitter: All hail James Anderson England's new record holder with 384 Test wickets. Now the hard work - a night out with a vanquished Sir Ian Botham.

    Former England wicketkeeper Alec Stewart on Twitter: Huge congratulations to Jimmy on becoming England's leading Test wicket taker. Brilliant achievement. Next target 500 wickets please.

  74. WI 310-7 (Holder 73*, Roach 5*)

    Ben Stokes replaces Root - Holder is hit on the pad, there's an appeal but with the ball clearly sailing down the leg side, no review is used. England still have two left (that Jordan no-ball did not cost them a review) - a good back-foot press from Holder sails away for four through point, but it does little to alter the state of the game. It's still three wickets or bust - West Indies would need to score 128 in 13 overs. Which they won't attempt.

  75. Anderson's greatest moment?

    Anderson, aged 20 and with blond highlights in his hair, marked his Test debut in 2003 by taking 5-73 as England swept to an innings victory over Zimbabwe inside three days at Lord's.

    James Anderson
  76. WI 306-7 (min 14 overs left)

    Umpire Billy Bowden signals the start of the last hour - Roach knocks a single to scurry away from Anderson's end, but England keep the close fielders in for Holder, who straight-drives and comes back for a third run - clearly he's no longer protecting Roach. Four slips, four men catching in front of the wicket, and even fine leg comes up to leg gully as Roach plays and misses. Oh, the tension.

  77. Anderson sets new England record

    Former England bowler Darren Gough on Twitter: Well done Jimmy truly deserved, a genius.

    Former England bowler and Lancashire coach Ashley Giles on Twitter: Congratulations to Jimmy A on becoming the greatest. Quite an achievement. Well done Jim from all at Lancashire.

  78. Anderson sets new England record

    Here's a breakdown of Anderson's 384 Test wickets. Now he has the record, we're also going to sprinkle a few of his greatest moments into the last hour.

    James Anderson graphic
  79. Drinks break

    WI 302-7

    Joe Root to bowl the last over before we enter the last hour. He gives it a bit of air but Holder isn't taking the bait, carefully playing from the crease. Time for drinks - when the players return, we'll be into the last hour with 15 overs to be bowled.

  80. Anderson sets new England record

    Previous leading England wicket-taker Sir Ian Botham on Twitter: Great moment for Jimmy and his family..... Congratulations you deserve it .... Awesome !!

  81. WI 302-7 (England need three wickets to win)

    Never mind, Captain Cook has a smile back on his face which has been a rare sight in recent years. Roach is hit on the pad again, the slips are more interested in an lbw appeal. For the last ball, the entire team are within 20 yards of the bat, catching - but Roach pushes the ball back past the bowler and with no fielders anywhere near, he can pick up two.

    Roach tries to force Anderson off his legs, England appeal for a catch behind, the umpire's finger is raised but Roach immediately reviews it...

  86. Anderson sets new England record

    Andrew Samson

    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    "It was appropriate that Alastair Cook took that catch, because caught Cook bowled Anderson is England's most prolific combination. That's Cook's 26th catch off Anderson."

  87. WI 300-7 (min 17 overs left)

    Intriguingly, Holder declines a single against Root when he steers the ball through the covers - with the best will in the world, you'd expect a number nine like Roach to survive longer against Root than he would against Anderson? An off-driven four brings up 300 for West Indies, but Root does well to keep Holder down that end from the last two deliveries, so Anderson can target Roach again.

    It's a wonderful record for Jimmy - but more importantly for England, one end may be open now. Kemar Roach is the new batsman, but none of the last three lasted too long in the first innings. Roach sees off the rest of the over, getting off the mark with a two to leg as Anderson takes more congratulations.

    Ramdin c Cook b Anderson 57 (WI 294-7)

    That's the record! James Anderson finds some bounce in the pitch, induces an outside edge from Denesh Ramdin, the Windies skipper nicks it to slip where his opposite number Alastair Cook takes the catch diving to his left. It sparks wild scenes of celebrations - while his parents, who have been watching all game, embrace in their hospitality box.

    James Anderson is now England's leading Test wicket-taker - his 384 victims overtaking Sir Ian Botham's 383.

  94. WI 294-6 (min 19 overs left)

    It's at times like this I start remembering things I've heard earlier in the game - like "England have never won a Test in Antigua"... the tourists turn back to the part-time off-spin of Joe "Goldenarm" Root, who broke two crucial stands earlier in the innings by removing Devon Smith and Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Ramdin slog-sweeps a four, but there are encouraging signs as Root spins a couple past the outside edge. We're four overs away from the last hour...

    A bit of a delay while Anderson runs back out. If I were an England fan at the ground, I'd be trying anything here, just like Michael suggests - go for a walk round the ground, for instance. (I maintain that going for an ice-cream at Lord's in 2013 produced a flurry of Aussie wickets including Michael Clarke). Holder leaves anything he doesn't have to play at, Jimmy is giving it everything but it ain't going England's way.

  102. WI 288-6 (Ramdin 52*, Holder 61*)

    Indeed, a long-ish Jordan spell (seven overs either side of tea) is ended as James Anderson returns at the Ambrose End - still level with Sir Ian Botham on 383 Test wickets and needing one more for the outright record. Two slips and three catchers in front of the wicket, but Holder adds a single and Ramdin's defence holds firm. Anderson sprints off at the end of the over - seemingly for a comfort break - and is temporarily replaced by 12th man Adam Lyth.

  103. WI 287-6 (min 23 overs left)

    Tredwell begins his 34th over of the innings - his 60th of the match - and Michael Vaughan isn't happy at England's field, with a man positioned on the point boundary even though West Indies need more than 150 more. Just a single added. Time for another Anderson burst?

    Oh, that's a lovely shot - Holder stands tall (not difficult when you're 6ft 7ins) and punches Jordan through the covers for four off the back foot. There's still a short mid-on in place as Holder adds a single to move to 59. He's a little ahead of his captain, who fluently flicks a two to fine leg to move to 52.

  108. 50 for Ramdin

    WI 279-6

    The chastened Ramdin helps himself to a single off his legs to bring up his 13th Test fifty. This stand is now worth 90.

    The first innings suggested that one more wicket might open up the door to the rabbit hutch, but England need to crack this pair first. Which they've not done in 24.5 overs.

  109. WI 278-6

    ...and it's a no-ball, so they don't even check the ball-tracker (which later shows it would have been umpire's call for clipping leg stump). The old-fashioned amongst us might ask why the on-field umpire didn't call "no-ball" at point of delivery - but apparently England don't lose their review over a no-ball. A mite fortunate to do so?

  110. Umpire review

    Off-spinner James Tredwell to continue from the Sir Andy Roberts End. The tall Jason Holder pushes a four through the covers to bring up his fifty - but there's a heart-in-mouth moment for the young right-hander when a ball spins past his defensive prod and scoots past the keeper as they run a bye.

  118. WI 268-6 (min 30 overs left)

    Windies captain Denesh Ramdin easily sees off a maiden over from Jordan, rejecting a risky single and ducking a bouncer off the last.

    To explain, it's effectively a session of two halves. The fielding side can try to get as many overs in as they can, should they wish, before we formally enter the last hour of play. From there, West Indies are guaranteed to face a minimum of 15 overs. Once we're into the last 15, both sides can - should they wish - shake hands on a draw at any time. But I'd say that's unlikely to happen unless this pair get through to the last over.

    Jason Holder has got the right idea - dealing in singles rather than fours, not trying to overhit his shots. He's a very capable batsman, as he showed at the World Cup, albeit in almost the opposite scenario. He does find the boundary for the first time but it's a very controlled, safe shot, flicked elegantly over midwicket for four. Not an awful lot going on for the bowlers at the moment, as we pause for drinks.

Historians wait, quills poised above the page. In a TV commentary box, Ian Botham clears his throat. Aaaaaannnd...Denesh Ramdin laces him through the covers for four. And then gets a streaky four past gully. Still waiting...

  169. WI 191-6 (target 438)

    England have declined to take the new ball for the moment, and just to heighten the intrigue, Jimmy Anderson has picked this moment to trot off the field. So Joe Root wheels away for another over. Holder runs a single past the slips for the solitary run of the over.

    Blackwood c Buttler b Jordan 31 (WI 189-6)

    Cover your children's eyes, this is X-rated. With one over to go before the new ball, Jermaine Blackwood charges down the track at Chris Jordan, plays a preposterously inappropriate swipe, and gets a faint tickle behind to Jos Buttler. West Indies coach Phil Simmons will be steaming like a copper kettle.

    Chris Jordan
  176. WI 189-5

    Joe Root, a player with a faint sprinkling of gold-dust about him at the moment, is going to have a brief joust at the Windies before the new ball.

    Gary Ballance, who you may recall wore one from Jos Buttler yesterday, is the unwitting beneficiary when Root serves up a long hop and Blackwod creams a pull shot straight into his hand. He's OK though, made of tough stuff.

  178. WI 185-5 (minimum 52 overs left)

    Three overs until the second new ball is due. For now, Jordan continues to toil away with the old nut, and he nearly makes the breakthrough when he entices Blackwood to carve one through the covers, narrowly eluding the fingertips of the diving Joe Root. If Blackwood is going to see the West Indies home here, he's not going to do it by the book...

  180. WI 181-5 (Blackwood 27*, Ramdin 14*)

    James Tredwell is going to be the man who West Indies target to release the pressure valve periodically. Or perhaps not so periodically - Ramdin tonks him back over his head first ball, then steps away and flashes a cut to the point boundary, then lofts down the ground again for two. Ten runs off the over.

  181. WI 171-5

    Blackwood is a reluctant blocker - the sort of player whose defensive strokes even carry a hint of aggression. He punches his forward defensive rather than dead-batting it. Still, he's acquitting himself well here, and he blocks out another maiden from Tredwell.

  182. WI 171-5 (target 438)

    Sulieman Benn is all smiles on the West Indies balcony - I wonder if he'll still be wearing that broad grin if he finds himself at the crease in a couple of hours, fending off bouncers from Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad. Tredwell scoots through another maiden.

    West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin never strikes me as the sort of skipper to inspire the troops with rousing, chest-thumping speeches - more of an Iain Duncan Smith than a Winston Churchill, to paraphrase Gareth Southgate's famous description of Sven Goran Eriksson.

    But then again, as IDS said, you should never underestimate the determination of a quiet man. Ramdin does look in resolute mood here, and he blocks out a second successive maiden from Chris Jordan - only a leg bye to the tally.

  186. WI 170-5 (Blackwood 27*, Ramdin 4*)

    James Tredwell takes the cherry from the other end. Blackwood, a naturally aggressive batsman who seems to be engaged in a constant fitful struggle to rein in his instincts, gives in to the promptings of the devil on his shoulder, lofting Tredwell down the ground for a one-bounce four, and then flaying him inside-out over the covers for four more. Well, those sort of shots are OK as long as you get away with them...

    And with James Anderson now level with Sir Ian Botham and one away from taking the England record in his own right, and the players takign the field again, it's time for James Gheerbrant to talk you through the afternoon session - very possibly the last session of the Test.

  195. Could Kevin Pietersen return?

    The Mirror cricket correspondent Dean Wilson on TMS: "I think Kevin deep down knows that he's not going to play for England again, The way it all finished left a very sour taste. If he goes and scores runs for Surrey, at least he can say he gave it his best shot. I think it's important that the ECB takes a more mature stance on the issue - I think it's ludicrous to say a player is banned from playing for England."

  197. Could Kevin Pietersen return?

    The Sun cricket correspondent John Etheridge on TMS: "Numbers three, four, five and six in this match all scored more than 100 runs. I've thought all along, how can Pietersen ever play for England again? Just go and read a couple of chapters from the book, and it's difficult to see how he can take the field with Jimmy Anderson, Alastair Cook and Stuart Broad again. It still seems very unlikely."

  198. How many runs is "enough"?

    The Ashes is normally preceded by a "phony war" of comments from players and ex-players about who should be picked, and why.

    A cheeky shot across the bows from Australia captain Michael Clarke - he says Kevin Pietersen "has scored enough runs" to warrant an England recall.

    Those runs? 170 against the might of... the students of Oxford MCCU.

    If any players on the fringe of the Australia squad are reading this, perhaps a quick double ton in a benefit match against the bowling of Dame Edna and Mrs Mangel from Neighbours might get them a call-up under that logic from Clarke...

  199. The Trott debate

    The Mirror cricket correspondent Dean Wilson on TMS: "I would have picked Adam Lyth as the opener ahead of him. He's earned his chance, he's a positive opening batsman. The way England play their cricket is quite important, and I think Lyth would give them more positivity at the top of the order."

    Simon Wilde: I don't think it should happen, I don't think he should have been recalled. Cook wanted some experience with him, that's why he wanted Matt Prior back too.

  203. The Trott debate

    The Sun cricket correspondent John Etheridge on TMS: "I was a bit concerned with the way Jonathan Trott shaped up in both innings. He walked down the crease to the pace bowlers which seemed to me a symptom of anxiety. He looks to me pretty uncomfortable at the crease."

  204. Anderson equals Botham's England record

    The Mirror cricket correspondent Dean Wilson: "Ian Botham is absolutely thrilled to pass the record on to a bowler of the calibre of James Anderson, the outstanding English bowler of his generation. You could see with the record-equalling wicket just how much it meant to Anderson. He's not a demonstrative person at all, but you could see the relief."

    Root to Blackwood, a big appeal for a catch behind as he plays forward, but the appeal rather dies away. The over before lunch is not one where you should attempt risky singles, and Blackwood nearly puts himself (or his captain) in danger by setting off for one before his captain sends him back. A two takes him to 19 - and England troop off for lunch after a session which unquestionably belonged to the tourists.

    Anderson gets another over (his 14th, and the seventh of this spell) - Aggers on TMS thinks he could set Blackwood up with the old "outswinger, outswinger, outswinger, inswinger" trick. The young Jamaican defends confidently - as predicted, the fourth ball is the inswinger but it's a little short of a good length and Blackwood cracks it through the cover for two.

I had to explain (in French) that Jimmy was closing in on Beefy and that I didn't want to miss any of it. Cricket in French is not easy. But he was genuinely interested which nearly made me late! But an innings is "une manche" in case anyone's remotely interested. Come on Jimmy.

  245. WI 134-4 (min 71 overs left)

    With Anderson probing Blackwood's defences at one end, the Tredwell-Chanderpaul duel includes a shade more guile on both sides. A loose delivery is pulled wide of Ballance at mid-on for a single - sending Chanderpaul to Anderson's end.

    "Anderson and Botham are very similar: Ian Botham took 102 Tests to reach his 383 wickets, Anderson is playing in his 100th."

    It should be noted, Anderson's figure of 100 includes the abandoned 10-ball Test in Antigua in 2009.

  247. WI 133-4 (Chanderpaul 3*, Blackwood 4*)

    Anderson, on 383 Test wickets, is lofted high over his head by young Blackwood... but safely as mid-on and mid-off run back but can't get to the ball before it falls to earth. I'm not sure what game Blackwood is playing, but he's off the mark with a two. His favourite shot in the first innings was a hoick over extra cover, now he knocks the ball along the ground through the same region to take two more. Then it's a big appeal as Blackwood is hit on the boot... but England, with two reviews left, decide not to burn one off as it did look like it was going down the leg side.

    While the two Windies batsmen to have perished so far both did so from mad rushes of blood, the cricketing world would be collectively staggered if the same happened to Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Tredwell teases him with an inviting over, Shiv adds a two to his score but is building an innings carefully.

    West Indies' first-innings centurion Jermaine Blackwood is the new batsman, he lets a couple go by outside off stump. The Anderson entourage (wife, agent etc) up in the stand look thrilled with their hero/husband/client (delete as applicable).

    "Brilliant from Anderson. He's taken it away from Samuels with reverse swing. Joe Root, who's been egging him on with the verbals, does a lap of honour round the covers. Samuels' innings was very sensible for the first 40 minutes, and then absolute lunacy for the last ten."

  255. WICKET

    Samuels c Tredwell b Anderson 23 (WI 127-4)

    James Anderson draws level with Sir Ian Botham on 383 Test wickets!

    Marlon Samuels, who had been taking a bit of "chat" from the England fielders, goes for the big shot and the ball flies to James Tredwell at gully, where he takes the catch diving to his right. A big 10 minutes for England, and Anderson is one wicket away from sole possession of the England wicket-taking record.

  257. Missed stumping

    WI 127-3

    Samuels advances to smack Tredwell for another straight six - then next ball, gives him the charge again, misses and there's a missed stumping chance as keeper Jos Buttler can't take the ball cleanly, in fact they run a bye.

  259. WI 119-3 (target 438)

    Anderson ducks a bouncer from Anderson, before practising an aggressive hook shot after the ball has gone. Meanwhile, I'd imagine West Indies are giving Smith the could shoulder after that kamikaze shot. Samuels watchfully sees out a maiden.

  261. WI 119-3 (min 77 overs left)

    Shivnarine Chanderpaul, alias "The Crab", begins what he will hope is a long, dogged, defensive innings by shouldering arms to his first ball from Tredwell.

    Gone! After all that concentration, Smith has a rush of blood, charges at Tredwell and lifts a catch straight to mid-on. Perhaps we have our answer as to why a man with such a sound-looking technique averages less than 25 in Tests.

  265. WI 118-2 (Smith 65*, Samuels 16*)

    Anderson has a 7-2 off-side field for Smith, with a couple of catchers on the square in the cover region. Smith's technique looks solid, he helps a two to fine leg.

    "He is a brilliant bloke and he realises how important this is for so many other people. That is something a lot of other sportsmen forget.

    "It's very easy to get wrapped up in a bubble and get very self-involved. It means so much more to his mum and dad, so he has accepted that they have to be here and puts on a brave face.

    "But deep down I know he hates it. He just wants the record to go. He would have given a year's salary to get two wickets in the first over today and then forget about it and watch England try to win this Test match."

  267. WI 116-2 (min 79 overs left)

    Tredwell comes round the wicket to Samuels - and the big Jamaican advances and swats him for six over long-off! He comes down the wicket again next ball, can't connect fluently and is hit on the hip, and Joe Root mimes a fisherman "reeling him in". A careful smack through the big gap at cover point brings Samuels four more.

    England make their first bowling change of the day - James Anderson replaces Broad to bowl the 50th over, not having been used since the 14th. Samuels knocks a single, and Graeme Swann on TMS has already spotted a hint of reverse swing from his great friend Anderson.

    Having bowled three maidens to Smith, Tredwell gets his first chance to bowl at the right-handed Samuels. He uses his feet to lift a single over mid-off.

  274. WI 104-2 (Smith 63*, Samuels 4*)

    Finally the deadlock is broken as Samuels pushes Broad for a single. Having taken 92 balls to reach 50, West Indies took another 191 to reach 100. And the tiny trickle becomes a flow as Smith guides a four past the slips.

    If you think our scorecard has been stuck on 99-2 for 15 minutes or so... it hasn't moved - bad news if any of you were expecting a frenzied West Indies run chase. But if their intention is purely to bat out the day, they're doing fine so far. Broad to Samuels, maiden over, five on the trot.

    Broad begins the 44th over, the second new ball won't be available until partway into the afternoon session.

    Nigel in Leeds: Hope I am wrong, but I have a feeling last night that West Indies really fancy this chase. If they get through to the new ball on, say, 240-4, would they go for it, I wonder? How would this shellshocked set of players cope with an all-out assault?

  285. WI 99-2 (target 438)

    Even though they've had all night and all morning to think about fielding plans, there's an interminable delay while England work out their field for the right-handed Samuels. It's almost a schoolboy field with men at silly mid-off and silly mid-on, added to the two slips and gully. Samuels, watchful, sees off a maiden.

    Stuart M: If he had been stood in the correct position for slip fielding to Tredwell to start off with, the catch would not have needed to have been that spectacular, and he would not have missed the next one that came along two overs later. He would have had two nice safe catches straight into his midriff.

  287. WI 99-2 (min 89 overs left)

    Off-spinner Tredwell has a slip, short leg and a fairly short extra cover catching for Samuels, who gets the score moving with a single wide of mid-off. Smith patiently sees out the over. One down, 89 to go.

    Mark: The one thing that would facilitate an England win is the West Indians thinking that they can reach this target. Successful chases over 350 a very, very rare and it takes special circumstances for one to happen. If the West Indians open up, they will give the bowlers chances. If England can win this it will be through hard slog by the bowlers and would be a sign that the side is turning the corner.

  303. Anderson-watch: day five

    The wait for James Anderson to overtake Sir Ian Botham as England's highest Test wicket-taker goes on. He only bowled seven wicketless overs yesterday - two with the new ball, and five more straight after tea.

    Team-mate Gary Ballance has said that winning the game is more important than Anderson's record. But all of England's bowlers will have their part to play today. The "Burnley Express" is one wicket away from equalling Beefy, and two from claiming the record in his own right.

    Latest score: IT Botham 383, JM Anderson 382.

  304. The Agnew verdict

    BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew feels England "still have plenty of hard work ahead of them" if they are to win today - and praises batsman Gary Ballance who he feels has nailed down the England number three spot.

    But he warns: "With dogged batsmen like Shivnarine Chanderpaul to come, West Indies will think they have a fighting chance of clinging on for a draw."

  305. Record breakers?

    The highest successful fourth-innings Test run chase, before today, was also in Antigua - at the old Recreation Ground in St John's, a few miles from the current Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound.

    On 13 May 2003, West Indies began the final day on 371-6 against Australia, chasing 418. Although they lost Shivnarine Chanderpaul early for 104, Omari Banks saw them over the line with an unbeaten 47 against a star-studded Aussie attack lacking Shane Warne (serving a one-year ban for taking one of his mum's diet pills) but featuring Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie, Brett Lee, Andy Bichel and Stuart MacGill.

    Chanderpaul is yet to bat for West Indies in this innings, It couldn't happen again, could it?

    Afternoon, everyone - whether you think four-day Tests are a realistic or unrealistic aspiration, we're into a fifth in Antigua - and it could be an epic.

    West Indies will begin the day on 98-2, chasing a theoretical target of 438. From an England point of view, they have a minimum of 90 overs to take eight wickets. A West Indies win would break a Test record that was set only a few miles away...
