england are robbing peter to pay paul here... anderson and broad on to tie windies down slightly. its good but it can't go on and patience will be a virtue for windies. 103 to win... they are not scoring right now. moeen off who's been costing england. new ball is 12 overs away and we are bowling out or main men... we are ****ed.
England commentators now clinging to the new ball. 89 to win and our two main line Bowlers shagged... ad 9 overs left to new ball... no way..
root knows he's ****ed it. hes just seen anderson edged through first slip where cook should be but is not... went for 4 and thats it imo. england heads have now gone.
what a catch sub fielder chase read englands intent to bowl wide and steps a full two strides over then tried lift the ball down the gorund. the sub field catchs is o nthe stetch... absolutely stonking catch. woakes gets one when not intending to. blackwood now in and famous for playing fast. 76 to win.
****... massive swinging horizontal bat.... misses.. either he will socre 20 fast and scare england or he will be gone this over.
Fair play to them. England declared at the right time as think it was only 2/3 teams have chased over 200 to win there in test matches before. WI just batted well and England didn't bowl too great. The target was always achievable just needed 2 good partnerships which they got. Sets up the next game very nicely.
I think so too. Moeen was poor all day and Anderson and broad got little out of the ball. Imo England should have bowled far wider and sooner and killed the game after about 50 overs. Stokes 5 overs... wtf... moeen was leaking runs all over... just bowl wide and force them to chase it.
just to say... watching Anderson absolutely tie bishoo in knots here. absolute peaches past the bat. the guy isn't good enough to nick them
