wow, what a session!!!!!!1 Really should win this from here..however Roach can hang around, solid defensively, and Ramdin can score quickly, so will want to break this partnership asap

We might fail with the tail again.

Sunny.

WI just lost two too many in that collapse. Batting should get easier now.

Considering he's thee vc, you never see Cook talking to Bell.

Not that we'd struggle against anything higher...it's just a case of time remaining.

Pitch seems fairly benign still ; so 180 or so should be OK ; but the time factor does start to kick in somewhere around there ...

Anderson again ! Catches Roach ...one for Moeen :clap

8 down.

Start the car.

And another, two slogs can be justified, but the run out hurt.

I think Anderson has had an involvement in all the wickets this session.

WIndies throwing it all away, it would appear

We still have to take those final two wickets yet.

Our history with finishing off a tail suggests it wont be easy.

West Indies need to bat at least another hour to have any chance of saving this IMO. England al but certain winners now, you'd have to think. Can't see Gabriel and Bishoo scoring runs again.

Nah....... piece of cake from here. the match won't even make the final session

Suprised that Jimmy didn't open after lunch.... i havent seen all of play today, how long a spell did Stokes this morning?

by **alfie** » Sat Apr 25, 2015 6:06 pm

I'm not assuming anything. England favourites now ; but I remember a New Zealand number eleven who hardly knew which end of a bat to hold batting a couple of hours to deny them back in the nineties...

Ramdin is probably doing the right thing letting his partner take his share of the strike and taking any runs on offer. Moeen still doesn't look too threatening : I'd have been inclined to attack Bishoo with pace at first. But Cook has done pretty well today ; may work.

At what stage do English supporters get nervous?
