Good win. Stokes is joint leading wicket taker in the series and has scored twice as many runs as anyone else. He's turning into a true great all-rounder.
Well done England, great result. Exactly as I, er, didn't predict...(post#52)
Wonderful to watch Ben Stokes and Jason Holder in this (weird) series. Both vying to be the worlds best all rounder. Great win for England to square the series.
That's a great achievement. Massive heart as well. Incredible when he was bowling, he had no mid off so sprinted 80 yards and full length dive to try to stop the boundary. Two balls later, he got a wicket.
Watched the highlights and we'll done England. Stokes is unreal what a player. Good to see Broad get his wickets.
Honours even in the first session of the final test. Looks like the weather will ensure a drawn series. That Cornwall is a bit of a unit.

For those of us of a certain age, echo's of the late great Colin Milburn( well in size anyway)
sorry! i got stuart broad out by mistake. i'd been watching summaries for each over on my phone and decided there ought to be a commentary. got guerrilla cricket radio up on my tablet just after an over had finished and broad was out two deliveries later. that kind of thing keeps happening. something similar with the bloody wigan match - i had the commentary on for part of the first half while driving across town and later for a big chunk of the second half, and no goals went in while i was listening. when i had to leave the car it went badly wrong.
I've just watched the highlights of day one, and Pope does look a good prospect. Nice to see Butler get a few.
Fast forward to today, thank the lord for Broad who saved the inning with his knock, then he gets Brathwaite.
Let's hope they can get a few more wicket today.

Day 2 ended very well for England. Bowling was good but I thought WI were below par with their batting.
I just watched the highlights of day 2, great knock by Broad, and in particular him and Jimmy in tandem with the ball really create some pressure in those cloudy conditions.
Would be great if they can skittle them out for under the 33 they need to avoid the follow on.
JA and SB bowled at 1.5 and 1.7 runs/over respectively. Hard to replace them from the current crop of quickies.
Not sure f already discussed.
Just seen cricket is having fans back in the ground starting today.

I did, one of the commentators said it was bowling machine accuracy.
Really?
Presumably just a few members?
We had / have tickets for 8th August Test at Old Trafford, but they gave us tickets for England v Pakistan next year instead
I heard on one of the pod casts that they are allowing maybe up to 6000 members to do a pilot test to see how it works. They obviously think members are a sensible lot and will do as they are told.
