Not particularly but it's hardly progress to replace him with someone equally bad who's less sure of their place in the team.

I do have a soft spot for Abell, but it's definitely too radical for the ECB to bring someone in to skipper.

Part of me would love them to give it to Stokes and see how he goes. He did seem a more natural skipper in the Pakistan ODI series.

I see what you’re saying about bringing someone unproven like that. Perhaps Stokes deserves a chance at least- he is a leader in his own right and would instantly command respect. Will be interested to see what happens. Fingers crossed it gets better!

Keep going Chris Woakes  :).

On the Captaincy I don’t think Stokes should be given the added pressure, there are not many candidates

Two years ago I would of said Anderson, 6 months ago maybe Burns.

Right now I cannot think of one proper alternative. I doubt England would go outside the regular players.

But I think Strauss wants to see progress, that might come in different forms, may not be just winning a series as daft as that may sound. Might be something else

Whoever stuck a few quid on Mahmood to top score first innings and hit a 6 is probably sitting on a small fortune now 😂

I wish the Talk Sport commentator would stop pronouncing Alex Lees' name 'Lease'.

If the pitch stays spicy, you guys are in the pound seats. West Indies batting is pretty weak and heavily reliant on Brathwaite. If he goes early, they could easily get skittled for under 100.

I think the new ball is likely to be decisive, if they don’t get 3/4 in the first 30 overs it could be trouble.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Completely agree with this. Hopefully the pitch hasn't flattened out too much, but Leach and Mahmood made it look like a road towards the end.
If England don't get Brathwaite early, we could be in for a few days of boredom watching him bat!

Well Woakes will need to reverse his recent record and take a few early wickets if there's a bit of help.

This is the mild bowling I expected from both of them

Woakes sticking to his guns of not being able to bowl outside of England.

I don't see what England see in Overton either, just military medium that might work in England but nowhere else.

Good that they've bought Mahmood on early.
