This partnership going at 1.5 an over. It's getting even slower.

Assuming England can get a 100 lead....is it even worth setting a target? Or just give the bowlers a rest and bat out the draw?

Is the pitch getting any tougher to bat on?

Leach'l has found help, and the odd one is skidding a bit lower, but it's so slow you'd back even these two batting line ups to bat out a whole day

England have bowled for 2 days though, so even if they get another session or two at windies tomorrow, they will be knackered in back to back test and a quick innings rotation.

Say the wicket is down soon...

20 overs left (but we had rain so light may not hold)....say 5 an over is a 200 lead at stumps....

I think they not consider anything sub 275....so at the very best, probably 65-70 overs

Got to try and set a target, even if just notional. Just batting out a third innings draw is too horribly futile to contemplate.

Never a good look when a team tries to draw the game in the first innings.
