Welllllll.... They ought to but.... There's 3 wickets that really matter right now to the result. Cook, root.... and imo Barstow. If those guys score well and long then we will see. It could I suppose run out of time?
Interesting they have spin on after 10 overs. Cook on 3 and stoneman actually contributing for once with 21... not a very quick rate
Right.... cook gone...2 no hoppers there eith26 overs gone. Now is the time to be scoring. Ball has the skin off...
136/3.... Interesting... tbh Windies only have 33 lead now and 2 wickets gone that we regularly throw down anyway. We would want these two to see out the day
2 days left.. 17 wickets. England lead by 2 runs. Barring of course cook is gone this is like the start of a 2 day test.
I must say it was a big call yesterday evening. there wasn't many more runs in it but previously a cook would go til lunch and get 350 not 322... we did not get the early wicket though... but it was close.
No wickets yet , and the Windies are doing OK . Time to worry ? I know you on here don't know me , but I am the world's biggest worrier .
I think 300 odd is too much today. England can slow right down and set defensive field and bowl wide. I think I should be tight at the end.
Time is not really on either teams side. IMO this one is going to be windies about 6pm or a draw with england saving runs for last hour.
engalnd wicket just came right at point where its too late it might slow windies down and get draw 199/3.... i don't see england skittling these now.
its tight... imo 124 runs to get is piss easy IF they don't go mad now chasing it. One bad hour for either side now wins it. England IMO would need a miracle form here to win this but can draw it through tight bowling and discipline. Windies woudl need to throw the bat at it now to lose it. I think they have more than enough to take a few runs a wicket and still be in here. it is after all needing a run of wickets from anderson or board thats required. woakes is out of this. he's not in it. Moeen is poor enough tbh.
