If England get bowled out for one more run, do Windies need to come out to bat?

Academic... Curran slaps a 4.

England have a lead.... now all we need is some records to fall for this wicket, and we might set Windies a target they can get with a slight effort.

I wonder if in the heyday of Windies cricket, they ever bashed England in consecutive tests for an overall total of runs worse than this?

77, 187, 125/9 and 240?

We quite literally have made this attack look like the one they had in the 1980s

The only explanation I have is, they want more days on the golf course.

Get the axe.

No doubt Root will come out with some guff about positive cricket and natural games. What we wouldn't give for a 216 ball 50 in the context of this game.

It's like they haven't got a brain between them.

Its honourable of Sam Curran to be trying, but there is pretty much no point declining singles now. Have a few slogs and get it over with.

Nah, keep fighting. Sure its useless, but maybe it might show those further up the order what you have to do.
