Over-by-over-report: Join our team of writers for updates on the third day’s play at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.

95th over: West Indies 272-5 (Bonner 69, Da Silva 29) We get a batsman’s eye view of Overton’s approach, a small man in the distance is suddenly a giant 22 yards away. A mixed bag of an over: a short one sails by, another scuttles through, another angled craftily into the body.
