First Test: West Indies v England, Antigua, April 13-17.

[Aidan11]

20 minutes before tea, or would they take an early tea?

I've got a feeling they would. Wasn't that what they did today when WIs were all out 20 mins beforehand?

[Gingerfinch]

Can't overule that.

[Arthur Crabtree]

That wasn't out.

That's why I said 40 minutes Ginger. I think if it's 30m or less before tea, they will take tea.

[Alviro Patterson]

That LBW appeal was closer than it looked, at first thought it never looked like hitting the stumps.

[Gingerfinch]

That wasn't out.

That's why I said 40 minutes Ginger. I think if it's 30m or less before tea, they will take tea.

Good thinking.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Gower thinks they'll bat until tea. The commentators will be tearing their hair out if they bat that long.

[Alviro Patterson]

For a declaration 12-14 overs before tea would be ideal. Gives Broad and Anderson two spells in between the tea break with the new ball.

[Aidan11]

The first session has to be negotiated yet. We lost virtually all our first innings wickets in those two morning sessions.

[Aidan11]

Eight or Nine of them I think.

[Gingerfinch]

For a declaration 12-14 overs before tea would be ideal. Gives Broad and Anderson two spells in between the tea break with the new ball.

Given our over rate, we'll need about an hour and a half for that.

[Aidan11]

Fifty partnership is up.

[shankycricket]

Benn has been absolutely woeful on a very helpful surface in this Test. One of the worst spin bowling performances I've seen for a long time. The leggie could've been a handful on here.

[Aidan11]

Last over of the day (5 overs left unbowled).

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good day for England again then. Away win the strong favourite.

[Aidan11]

Fortunately we didn't need a nightwatchman today.
