Brathwaite no longer using his 'Trident' bats?

He has an SS in hand today

Wasn't Braithwaite on the forum  once with his bats

The poor umpiring continues - wides not being called and poor decisions

While everyone is frothing over Archer, Mark Wood has bowled an impressive spell of 3-18 off 6.4

Windies 212 all out. Can England's 9 remaining men see them over the line?

Brilliant, love that.

Strange how the TV production changes when the ICC are calling the shots. Hilarious - Nasser struggling to think what to say in an unexplained Segway about the New Forest. Less good - 'the slot' apparently becoming an actual area of the pitch, the terrible efforts at 'magic moments'.

Root opens and does a fine job at that!

YJB is earning himself a lot of short balls later in the tournament here. Can't believe GN seem to have only given him one lid though!

Here we go, real chance to nail down number 3 for the ashes here.

Yep maybe he should bat there against the likes of Starc and Bumrah when there's scoreboard pressure.

Seriously? He was playing them was he... He batted well why can't you just acknowledge that..

ROOOOOOOT

comfortable for England

Good win by England.

Question for the group.  Is having Gayle and Russell in WI team hurting.  Personal opinion is that they are hurting the team.  Gayle cannot run for the singles and doubles, which forces the batter at other end in trying to hit out.  Russell, has yet to bowl is full quota and he has not lit up the WC with his batting.  Also, having him in the team screws up the balance, with Holder, Braithwait (sp) and Russell competing for the same two spots.  WI also need a batsmen who can play long innings.  Today's gave Hope was the only one who could do that but he had a horrible game.  I do not understand WI logic in alternating Lewis and Bravo in the team.  Hope should open with Gayle, Pooran at 3, Bravo @ 4, Hetmeyer @ 5 replace Russell in the squad with Dwayne Bravo

Most of the west indies team are only fit enough for twenty over matches and it is beginning to show.
