England are in a strong position against West Indies but history should serve as a warning to Peter Moores' men

England ended the day in a strong position, but it’s worth bearing in mind what happened in Antigua in 2009. Like Thursday, England declared just before tea, leaving West Indies a hefty target (503). But the home side’s lower order hung on — with Sulieman Benn batting as high as nine — and forced an unlikely draw.

BRUISER BUTTLER With Gary Ballance knocking the ball around the park, his partner Jos Buttler thought he’d get in on the act — but instead smashed a loopy ball from Marlon Samuels straight into his team-mate’s arm. The Yorkshire batsman was left with a nasty bruise but was fine to carry on.
