2nd test: West Indies vs England - Antigua

[sussexpob]

Is Holder the most important player in the WI team now? After his last innings of scoring quickly, he has changed is style here to the match situation.

WI are just playing this match so much smarter than England.

Bravo has 39 runs off nearly 200 balls.

[sussexpob]

Holder gone. England need to wrap the tail up quick

[yuppie]

The pitch still looks very tough to bat, though my feed aint great. Certainly something there for the bowlers. Batting last will be tough, chasing 100 might be very hard to get.

[andy]

Lead up to nearly 100 getting towards a near impossible task here for england

[yuppie]

From my feed it looks like Anderson is bowling to well to these batsman.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wonder if this will trouble the slowest fifties ever list (think it might be by Trevor Bailey). If he gets there.

[andy]

Doing a job to be fair, can't knock him, his side are grinding out a potentially match winning lead, and fair play to him

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yes, Trevor Bailey, 350 balls, 357m. Second is some way back, Tavare, 236 balls and 350m. Going to be forced to have a hit soon though, sadly.

Commiserations to Alzarri. Looks like he's going to carry on for now.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Still no one has a fifty, but got to salute WI for sticking at this.

[yuppie]

Might Bravo have a dash if he gets the chance.....

[mikesiva]

West indies 306 all out.

Bravo 50 from 216 balls!

Broad 3-53
Moeen 3-62
Anderson 2-73
Stokes 2-58

[meninblue]

Bad luck for Shanon as Kraigg drops Joe Denly and instead gives 2 runs. Poor shot by Joe Denly. Lucky not to get out on duck.

[meninblue]

Jason strikes. Rory gives catching practice to John at 3rd slip. Too close to the body to cut that one .

England 35/1 in 12.1 overs. Trail by 84 runs.

[mikesiva]

Holder strikes! Burns out for 16. One down.

[Arthur Crabtree]

First ball as well. Holder's bowling has been transformed. Wonder what happened.

Three fifties in the game to date, so this deficit should be looking quite intimidating to England.
