Breaking news - Graham Ford has turned down the India coaching role ... now, there's a turn-up. And if there was genuinely a shortlist of two - him and John Emburey - then does that mean Embers is the odds-on favourite?
115.2 Sidebottom to Chanderpaul, no run, swing away, driven to mid-off
115.1 Sidebottom to Chanderpaul, no run, swing away, but left, as that goes through to the keeper
End of over 115 (4 runs) - West Indies 348/7

JE Taylor 0* (2b) MS Panesar 43-12-109-5
S Chanderpaul 91* (206b 12x4) RJ Sidebottom 23-6-50-0

Panesar's taken some important wickets this morning - and the crowd know that, giving him a rousing reception
114.6 Panesar to Taylor, no run, oh, too good, beating the outside edge, but not taking it - the batsman trapped on his back foot there, squaring up, beaten
114.5 Panesar to Taylor, no run, outside off, width, knocked easily to gully off the back foot
The umpire's grateful for Panesar saving him, too; he was already trying to sway out of the way. Sammy has batted well, a sad end. "Monty's catch makes up for dropping Chanderpaul on 18," suggests Gnasher. Taylor in now, the start of the tail - now Chanderpaul has to take the strike, really. England are closing in.
