England vs West Indies 2nd test Headingley

[meninblue]

280 is bit too much for Wests Indies for second innings imo.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I expect so, but good for them that Moeen has gone. If only to briefly lessen the pain.

Hopefully we'll get two quick wickets so at least there's an outside chance of a contest. 280-300 is too many, but on one day in a couple of dozen it might be done.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Cricinfo suggesting Bishoo's nb wicket was legit.

[meninblue]

Woakes is nearing a 50.

[Dr Cricket]

England look big now.

[meninblue]

England should look to play T20 until they lose the remaining 2 wickets - which will allow them to bowl more overs at WI and force a win.

[Aidan11]

300 lead.

Not sure why there is talk of a declaration. Very risky.

[Aidan11]

50 for Woakes.

[Aidan11]

England declare which surprised me.

Good job Gordon Greenidge has long since retired.

[meninblue]

50 for Woakes. Well played. Like this declaration - need to look for a win as imo they were well past a good total for second innings against WI.

[ianp1970]

300 lead.

Not sure why there is talk of a declaration. Very risky.

Can't see Windies going at 3.35 runs per over, even if they get close we should be able to see the game out defensively.

FWIW I see them being 225 all out about 4:30pm tomorrow.

Wish I didn't cash out now, but did make the right decision in hindsight.

You bet on WI win

[Arthur Crabtree]

Attacking declaration from Honest Joe, good to see. And well done the England bats (and sympathies to the WI bowlers).

Nope on England win.
But the prices for England and the volatile market was why it was a good reason to leave.
Sometime it is best to wait and watch.
