After bowling the hosts out for 369, the Windies kept losing wickets at regular intervals as the trio of Broad, Anderson and Archer -- playing together for the first time in this series -- kept asking questions with their probing line and pace.

John Campbell made a meal of Archer's bouncer for Rory Burns to take an easy catch at gully while Shai Hope, looking to get back among runs in Tests, had no answer to a perfect Anderson middle-and-off line delivery which kissed the bat and flew to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.

At the break, Shamarh Brooks (4 batting) and Roston Chase (0 batting) were at the crease.

In between the two dismissals, Chris Woakes chopped a Roach delivery onto his stumps as the West Indies pace spearhead celebrated his 200th Test wicket. Roach finished with best figures of 4/72.

Jofra Archer was taken by Holder off Roach at second slip as England were suddenly reduced to 280/8 before veteran Broad swung the willow from ball one to bring up his 50 off 33 balls and finally got out for 62 from just 45 balls (9x4, 1x6) to turn the tide in the hosts' favour.
