Mo would have played that way regardless of who's at the other end it's is way.

I don't think I'll ever understand your dislike of Woakes but there's no way that TRJ or Broad or whoever else might have batted at 9 in his place would have scored 60odd n.o with the ease that Woakes did today, he's got the technique that he could probably do a decent job batting at least 2 spots higher.

Not a dislike  rather than 1 for 86 just want to see more top players wickets and  reqular decent scores. Re TRJ etc  Broad look untroubled but
We will never know what we do know is the  windies  bowling straight after  onwards  tea  was not good  lets  see what happens in Aus against quality bowling and decent batting.

Ah, classic run out

[csnew]

Surely that's pitch tampering there from Broad. Should be 5 runs.

how likely is this run chase looking as text I'm reading says its on?

It's west indies - one wicket and they'll roll over. These 2 probably need to bat for another 60-70 runs to have any chance

Root is unable to control his team - kicking the pitch, getting in the face of the batsman...sheesh.

[iand123]

They are scoring at quite a decent rate. New ball will be due when there is 16 overs left. England need to hope they can contain the rate and bungle a few quick wickets to have a chance with the new ball to roll them over

[smilley792]

England just don't look remotely threatening here.

Windiest game for the taking.

[InternalTraining]

It is good to see some fight back from a young WIndies team.

Is Kraig Braithwaite related to the mighty T-20 star?

No, Brathwaite is apparently a common Barbadian surname. That info was from the late, great T Cozier.

Apologies if that's untrue and my memory fails me.

[csnew]

Massive wicket that - commentators were doing their best to curse him about the record.
Here comes the collapse

[rickjames]

Gonna hate watching this final session. Can't see us winning, but God knows

Draws favourite at tea

I consider myself a big England fan,but part of me would be really pleased if the West Indies win...
