Could be building up to a close finish in the second test. Windies 252 for7 needing 18 more to avoid the follow-on.
 
Windies avoided the follow on but all out 287....England sent in sir Ben and buttler to open the innings....a sign on intent...butler didn't last long and England 37/2 at close a lead of 219.

Weather set fair for tomorrow so maybe a classic final day in prospect...

Should be very interesting & poss 3 results but my bet is on an England win, need to score at least 80 in first hour to give them a chance

Yeah, I fancy England to win from here. Not sure how many overs there are supposed to be tomorrow, but England may want to give themselves two new balls, which might mean a 10 over thrash before a declaration.

98 overs tomorrow apparently. Deduct two for change of innings, so if England bat 10 overs they could have 6 with the second new ball if it came to it. They would only be setting about 280 though, so all results possible. Could be an exciting day.

168/7 - 25 overs left....

So far England have only conceded 1 extra in the 2nd innings.....a solitary leg bye....
 
Good win especially after losing the toss and a full day to rain......

Amazing how many times a wicket falls first ball after the drinks break......brilliant reaction catch from pope....
 
Good win for England and another incredible performance by Stokes, who takes over from Jason Holder in the world all-rounder rankings. Remarkably for an all-rounder, he's joint third in the batting rankings with only Steve Smith and Virat Kohli ahead of him.

Another England collapse this morning.
Excellent from Broad to drag us to 369 all out.
Very good from the windies this morning.
