Day three of the second Test may have been washed out because of rain, but England remain big favourites to beat West Indies, with bet365 making them 1/7 (1.14) to win it.
England are in total command, having declared on 570-7, with Kevin Pietersen going on to make 226, his highest Test score, and then skittled the tourists for 146 and reduced them to 22-2 following on.
Ryan Sidebottom, who was called up for only his second cap, took both wickets to fall in the second innings, adding to his four from the first innings.
West Indies are now 300/1 to win the match while the draw - still a remote possibility if the rains come - has been cut slightly to 4/1.
The tourists are 5/6 to go on from 22-2 to make 221 or better, while Chris Gayle, not out nine, is the same price to make 40 or more.
The next man in, Devon Smith, is the same price to make 27 or more.
