The required rate a cause for concern now.

After sitting up all night I'm obviously disappointed not to see an England win ...but I can't complain too much : today has been a good example of why Test Cricket is the best form.

Tension down to the end. Neither team may be a superpower at present ; but they can both take something from this match.

Thirty balls left...

England need to remember that several of the West Indies batsmen threw away their wickets.

With the overs of spin, England could have bowled more than 15 in the last hour.

Kemar looking a bit flaky. Should have left that one. Batted a lot of balls tough.
