Not quite sure how they are 272-6 here

Broad and Stokes both put in a serious shift but just not happened for them. Think Id be keeping my head down in the dressing room if I was Buttler

Every chance we lose by an inns the way this is heading now

Huge innings now for England. Bravo did brilliant to get to 50, those extra 50 runs could be pivotal. Lead of 119 is a lot, we need to get at least 300 to give us a hope, be massive if we could get to 350, wouldn't fancy chasing anything over 150/160 on this deck.

West Indies managed to bat 130 overs on it, if they can do it, we should be able to. Just need to dig in and be prepared to battle, can't keep giving our wickets away. Series depends on this innings, they have to deliver.

Absolute joke. Bayliss should stand down and Root quit as captain. They have been out played and out thought. But its ok as Tom Harrison says English cricket is fine. Deluded and clueless all round.

How refreshingly consistent from England... the only people enjoying out in the middle is the Barmy Army... soaking up the Caribbean vibe

Fair play to WI, theyve been utterly superb, brilliantly led by a star in Jason holder but weve been pitiful. Finally coming home to roost the utter neglect of the longer format, wouldve happened sooner if other sides werent in a similar situation (and Root wasnt such a good tosser). And it only gets worse medium term when Broad and Anderson call it a day, as then we will have no specialists left, just be picking 4 keepers and 7 all rounders! Still as long as their cash cow the hundred makes them all a few quid who cares how much they are destroying cricket :(

Heads should roll at the ECB instead theyll probably give themselves bigger bonuses, Farbrace will not even be questioned and theyll want 150 quid for a Lords ticket for the Ashes against an Aussie side who are as bad as we are currently
