Windies seem to have completely ran out of steam.
Lead is 205 now with root looking for easy century.

Just got it. Like how under no pressure with game gone batsmen turn up.
We have to remember the windies are the worst test team bar Zimbabwe and Bangladesh who can't really count.
They started well but look like they've really faded in terms of bowling zip

England don’t get 500 runs in a pitch that will actually give a result. Plus playing about out 4th choice bowling line up so we’re never gonna get 20 wickets on that basis.
I read somewhere that the Windies have prepared these pitches to guarantee 5 days play to maximise their revenue .
Sad if true , but a sign of the times ?
Unfortunately England rarely play the 3rd worst team total and the worst of the traditional test teams. And that's where windies have been for a while.
You are right the self inflicted bowling decision means a real chance at getting a win has been tossed.
Bore draw.
England declare with no expectation of win then pretend to attack.
The worst thing is that they've made a call now to "progress" by dropping bowlers and now are too stubborn to go back and will end up playing part timers at this point

Good effort in the end to try win it but was always likely to be a draw. Batsmen finally managed some runs on a decent pitch so will
hopefully give them bit of confidence going into rest of series.

Pitch suddenly isn’t a flat no pace thing and Englands standing batting performance comes back lol

utterly miraculous but also windies will be raging. worst "real" test side in the world bowling at the end. Fair play to the pair though they showed the others how to play.
