Broad has had 98 catches dropped of his bowling as Buttler shelled another a few overs back

Enjoying this from West Indies - the old fashioned grinding out an innings. Not the modern way of attack is the best form of defence which bairstow said in his interview

Even these two are grinding it out. Bravo going at a S/R of 20. Lead is already plenty on this wicket

I am still standing by this... but Sam needs to bowl from the other end.

Actually Sam first needs to get bowled. He looks absolutely innocuous with gentle medium pace.

Root doesn't want to bowl Curran similar to Rashid in the last test. The lead is already substantial and he don't trust him not to leak runs. Hence Jimmy, broad, stokes are doing a lot of bowling.

There hasn't been much swing to be fair for Anderson or Curran, seam but not much thru the air

Curran is becoming a bit of a passenger, could do with Jofra Archer ASAP

I feel for Woakes, his quicker and taller. Looks like his gonna fade away from the England set up but he hasnt done a great deal wrong other than get injured. He hasn’t publically moaned about it either like another squad member.

Thats the problem with England. They are looking to contain instead of attacking to create chances. You need to make the batsmen play as many balls as possible on a bad pitch.

 Very impressed overall with WI tactics and application. They are playing test cricket and making this englsnd side look like mugs. To be clear, I believe this England side to be the more ‘talented’.. just aren’t really red ball as they lack application and the will to just bat long and forget about rotsringnstrike, pressure on bowlers and all that one day crap
