third slip where John Campbell parried for Shai Hope running around from fourth slip to complete the catch at 34 for three, three-quarters of an hour before lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And England suffered yet another blow about 20 minutes before the break when Jos Buttler edged an out-swinger from Holder to Campbell at second slip, to fall for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bairstow chose attack as the best form of defence, hammering nine fours and a six \u2013 an astonishing blow over extra cover off Holder \u2013 in a breezy 64-ball knock, to be unbeaten on 52 at lunch with England on 78 for four<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not for the first time, England wobbled after a break, as West Indies struck twice in the space of 23 minutes after the resumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, England lost Bairstow to the second ball of the session without adding to his interval score, lbw on review to a full length one from Roach which swung back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three overs later, left-hander Ben Stokes failed to survive a hostile spell from Gabriel and nicked a catch behind to wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich for 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In crisis on 93 for six, Moeen followed Bairstow in counter-attacking, as he posted an invaluable 85 for the seventh wicket with Foakes, to keep the Windies without further success in the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moeen played with freedom, gathering eight fours and a six off 104 deliveries while Foakes was the more patient of the two in an 84-ball innings which contained four fours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, any hopes of continuing the rebuilding efforts perished quickly after the break, as England lost their last four wickets for 15 runs in the space of 10 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moeen\u2019s resistance ended in the fifth over following the resumption when he clipped a simple catch to Gabriel at mid-wicket off Roach, and Foakes added three to his tea time 32 before playing on to Gabriel, attempting to pull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam Curran (6) and James Anderson (1) offered little resistance and then failed to find any magic deliveries when they bowled, as left-hander John Campbell (16 not out) and Kraigg Brathwaite (14 not out) safely navigated the 21 overs thrown their way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2509207887\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\"
