WI tour of Eng, July 3-30

[Arthur Crabtree]

This could all go very wrong.

[Arthur Crabtree]

But instead, there's a 50 partnership...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Feels like that stand unfolded quite slowly, but actually they were going at 4.5 an over.

[Durhamfootman]

Can they delay the lunch break at 9 down?

Answer yes...30 minutes extra

so it took England a further 18 mins on top of the morning session to bowl 28 overs, which is 2 overs short of the 30 overs they should have bowled by 1pm

[Durhamfootman]

close of play

just 11 overs short of the 90

maybe they'll let everyone come back in and watch the first 11 overs of play in the morning

[Arthur Crabtree]

Unacceptable really.

Things are no better under Labour.

[Durhamfootman]

Pope on fire?

I blame you

apologies. Now I'm blaming the ball change

[Arthur Crabtree]

I'm watching Harry Brook and thinking... Kevin Pietersen. Is that a standard observation?

KP timed it better though.

Brook c da Silva b Seales 109

England advantage.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Gentle Ben and Honest Joe batting together, both in need of a big score. Ideal pitch for it.

Maybe a plus point for the selectors in bringing back Wood on a flat track... though Woakes took the wickets!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Three wickets against an older ball going into lunch. England going to need something from the lower order.

[sussexpob]

I think England have enough already batting last. But if Windies can get the target 350 and below, they have an outsiders chance

[sussexpob]

Possible rain tomorrow. Get to 400 and I expect a declaration

[mikesiva]

Root c McKenzie b Holder for 122

Not long now.

[mikesiva]

If they dropped two catches in a row off your bowling, make sure you hit the stumps next time.
