typical caribbean pitch these days sadly, the days of fast and bouncy long gone, draws still a 7/4 shot, someone has faith in our bowling (or the wi ability to collapse)

Root century. Making it look an easy wicket to bat on. I guess if we can set a big (and quick) first innings we have a chance to get them out. Not sure though we have the firepower and the pitch won't help unless it turns later.

Still his best test score I think so small wins. Agree would have been nice for him to have got the maiden century but he's getting time in the middle and learning so has to be good
Has Ben Stokes got somewhere he needs to be? This is one day batting!

decent game awareness, big argument to be trying to move the game on if theres any hope of a result on this deck
bit of luck means Root wont be rushing to throw the ball to him later (who am i kidding lol)

Stokes has joined a fairly exclusive club of 5000 runs and 150 Test wickets.

Well it’s a good first innings , time for the bowlers to back it up now
Not a bad start from Fisher

Some start to test cricket for Fisher. First ball gets stroked to the boundary and wicket with your second ball at this level. Great to see his joy.

Either that, or someone from the ECB bribed the groundsman to reduce the chances of an England collapse.

Well that’s going to make the final sessions interesting ?

Need a quick wicket (ideally Braithwaite) but this is meandering to a draw

So what has Jason Roy been fined and given a suspended ban for? ?

Smells of a bit of a cover up by the ECB, especially as Roy is taking an indefinite break from cricket. Similar to a few years ago with Hales, which apparently was linked to a drugs test
The ecb clearly learnt from the PGA and DJ’s “break”

They clearly haven't they tried to do the same with Hales and that blew up in their faces.
I suspect the reason may be in the papers tomorrow.

Great final day in prospect in the Pak v Aus series. Although it's been 2 draws, maybe 3, it's been a great series
