At the end of Day 2, West Indies posted 32/1, losing their opener John Campbell early to seamer Sam Curran. Seasoned opener Kraig Brathwaite was unbeaten at the crease with a defiant 6, while nightwatchman Alzarri Joseph gave a late flourish with a couple of boundaries staying unbeaten on 14.
Earlier on Day 2, England started the Day on an aggressive note with both Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler looking to score at a quick rate. Soon after Team, Buttler broke loose with three fours and Stokes looked to take on Kemar Roach in the next. However, the centurion ended up gloving one to Shane Dowrich behind the wickets while trying to reverse slap a length delivery.
This was Roach's first Test wicket in 86.5 overs. As it turned out, the next wicket came off the very next ball for Roach with Chris Woakes edging the delivery to Shai Hope at gully.
The hat-trick did not come but Roach almost got a wicket off the ball after that when he got the ball to nip back into Sam Curran and the ball went straight through the batsman and over the stumps. Buttler soon picked a man on the boundary off Jason Holder and departed on 40 off 79 balls.
Off spinner Roston Chase got Curran out in the next over to complete a well deserved five-wicket haul.
After English skipper Joe Root called for a first innings declaration with an imposing 469 for 9, seamer Curran struck early for the hosts in the 10th over of the West Indies innings when England successfully overturned an LBW decision that the umpire had given in John Campbell's favour.
After Campbell's dismissal,Joseph was sent in as night watchman scored a quick-fire 14 runs off 18 deliveries, hogging much of the strike until stumps.
