England Test tour of WI, March 1-28

[bigfluffylemon]

5 overs for 3 runs....England not showing a great desire to make a game of this

Indeed not. Maybe they will attempt to push on tomorrow and give themselves 50 overs ath west indies. But the match seems to be shaping up just like the last one.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Mini-collapse by England has probably killed off the game. If it wasn't already dead.

[sussexpob]

Rain now too. 200 lead with 75 possible reply overs (max) in play. If England want to win, they are going to have to dangle a carrot at windies for their own possible victory...

[sussexpob]

Declaration has to come at lunch, surely

[alfie]

Yes , declared . So 65 overs max.



Liked the intent this morning. Probably will be all in vain but surely better to try for a win , however unlikely , than just potter around for a bore draw...At least injecting some meaning into this last day.

Hope no more rain.

Seales 2-34

[sussexpob]

Identical sound on ultra-edge to Bonner, this time the third umpire decides its an edge..... rightly of course, just wondering why 2 days ago he thought the same sound meant ball hitting air.

[sussexpob]

Ball is gripping.. that one spat nasty... England in the game

[sussexpob]

Crawley drops it twice and somehow Root gets the second rebound and thats Brooks gone... not sure what Brooks was trying to achieve with that.

Windies in trouble.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Leach is going to have a lot of bowling again. They need to look at a second spin option.

[sussexpob]

Bonner goes now... this is on for England

[alfie]

Still a lot of work to do . Once the ball gets old I doubt the seamers will be too dangerous - unless we see a lot of keeping low. A great deal up to Leach...

Good to see a live last day though.

[sussexpob]

Blackwood seeing off the threat so far. Draw now looks inevitable

[Durhamfootman]

same two from the first innings and the game seems to be slowly meandering to it's inevitable conclusion

[sussexpob]

Blackwood goes...
