Openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley slowly brought England back into the first test as the hosts reached 79-1 at lunch on day four to reduce West Indies' overall lead to 35 runs.
Burns was the only dismissal in the morning session on Saturday, caught by John Campbell at backward point off Roston Chase for a 104-ball 42.
Sibley is 31 not out, and Joe Denly is on 1.
