Thats tomorrow sorted for me. Could be a cracker!!

 

[unification]

So, England to bat for our hour, smack it around for a lead of 300 or so and put the confidence in the seamers and Bess to do the rest in the time remaining? Worth noting that it’s effectively a day 4 pitch and not a day 5 one.

TMS all day for me tomorrow then.

The availability of 2 new balls seems to be the factor in the go quick yesterday. Can't say I blame England for trying.

Good to see the ECB be pragmatic punishing Archer for his misdemeanour too.

 

[Sarge]

come on England

in a few hours time

 

[Sarge]

declaration at lunch? ... lead is over 300 now

 

[Sarge]

Blimey! declared at midday ... with Stokes smashing 78 off 57 balls, England going all out for the win, bowlers n fielders need to be on top form

 

[Sarge]

C'mon Broady

 

[Sarge]

Woakes getting the ball to move ..... c'mon England

 

[Sarge]

Braithwaite gone for 12 .... great bowling from Woakes

 

[Sarge]

Broadyyyyyyyyy, 2nd wicket of the day

 

[Gary Baldi]

Good start to the bowling. Pressure on the Windies to bat out.

 

[Sarge]

Chase gone, another Broad wicket

 

[Essexyellows]

Great match to be fair.... how is the weather looking?

 

[Essexyellows]

Cancel that..... stream found!

 

[Essexyellows]

68 overs left..... cloudy, light breeze.

 

[Gary Baldi]

Stokes is the ? player. 5 down and all to play for!

 

[Sarge]

another wicket, straight after tea .... Woakes takes his 100th test wicket

The wicked finger of umpires call goes England's way. If they can keep it going, a win is on the cards

need another one or two before the new ball ...don't fancy this going down to wire , which the WIndies are aiming for , well , to bat it out at least

25 or so to go... 3 wickets needed.................
