Amazingly pessimistic coverage on BBC live updates. WI have four out, an injured batter and a hopeless lower order. England are coasting to a win.

The people who text TMS won't be happy to see the stumps disturbed on Dowlich's review but the decision being not out.

Blackwood fifty. Didn't think that was possible, much less likely. Well done to him.

Well played Jermaine!
:clap

It's been a mature if shaky knock by Blackwood.

wouldn't be England if they didn't

Somebody, somewhere, said at the start of play that this match was set up for Holder to get the WIndies over the line for a 3 wicket win

that's looking more and more likely

For the first time in this match I actually believe West Indies are going to take this. Just 61 more ...perhaps 18 overs or so ?

Wood looking a bit ragged in this spell so far and Blackwood with the bit between his teeth...England need another inspired moment and I'm not sure whence it's coming ...

Tea soon ... Have to start again then .But six wickets in hand so a bit of insurance .

Has been a fine session for the tourists :clap

Yes, WI got a bit of a sniff. A wicket will change everything though.

Well they'd have to get Blackwood. And then one more quickly. It's just not looking likely at present.

Bowling looks uninspired ...though as you say , a wicket tends to change the mood all round...

Doesn't seem as though Holder will have to bother after all

All set up for another Stokes Miracle victory

by **alfie** » Sun Jul 12, 2020 4:53 pm

Think you have to just say well played West Indies . They've not been rattled today , even after that dreadful start ...and they've done what England couldn't do in either innings : avoid gifting their wickets.

and to cap it off Stokes has just got a wicket but lost it on a no ball :facepalm

Gone next ball though ...this is ridiculous

Could we have a last minute miracle ?

Dowrich troubled sojourn comes to an end. Out for 20.
