James Anderson has moved two wickets closer to joining Test cricket's 500 club as England and the West Indies battled for control of the second Test.
However, the tourists, resuming at 1-19, did well to reach the lunch break on 3-109 in reply to England's first innings of 258.
Anderson took his total to 493 by removing Kieran Powell on the first evening at Headingley and added two more before Kraigg Brathwaite (63no) and Shai Hope (33no) combined to bolster the Windies' cause.
Anderson wasted little time removing nightwatchman Devendra Bishoo for one and then had Kyle Hope (three) brilliantly caught by Joe Root.
Anderson's excellence has long been considered a national treasure rather than a parochial one and he was roared on by a capacity crowd, first when Bishoo offered Jonny Bairstow catching practice with a disinterested wave of the bat, then when a full inswinger and a sharp leap from Root did for the elder Hope brother.
Brathwaite dug his heels in and twice successfully overturned on-field dismissals.
The first was for a non-existent edge off Stuart Broad on 35 and the second showed he had been struck outside the line of off stump by a spitting delivery from Moeen Ali.
He was on 46 at that point and toasted his own judicious use of DRS by clubbing Moeen's next ball for the first six of the match.
Shai Hope reeled off six boundaries in a promising supporting knock and England's last real hope of adding to their haul disappeared when Brathwaite flashed Ben Stokes hard and flat over the slips.
