England vs West Indies 2nd test Headingley

[alfie]

Game approaching even-stevens now. Three quick wickets v 50 more runs feels it will decide the favourites for the fourth innings.

Indeed. I wonder what the teams actually think the situation is ? The body language suggests England think they're on top ; while West Indies seem oddly indecisive ...do they feel it has already slipped away from them ? Or are they just totally laid back ...

Blimey ! Moeen caught behind : but the spinner has overstepped ...words fail.

Moeen caught off a no ball from Bish. How frustrating can it get for WI?

Well, I really think England already have enough, but I've weighed my mental scales a little to the WI given how underestimated they've been going into the match, and I'm estimating the flatness of the pitch as more crucial than the pressure of the situation. But without these checks and balances, I've got England winning by about 60 runs.

[Arthur Crabtree]

50 partnership. Well done these two. The game needs a wicket though, even though these are the two England players I like to see do well.

[alfie]

Woakes still has a job to do with the ball later - he was very poor in the first innings ; but his batting is going some way to justify his selection in this match (I still feel TRJ should have played , but anyway). Very important fifty run stand from these two

Gabriel keeps running in ; but he looks a very tired man. Moeen enjoying this - taking the game away quickly...

Calm down Wardy.

Awesome fightback by England. West Indies need to learn to grab the rare scorecard advantage and convert it to win.

[Aidan11]

Another 50 for Moeen.

Weird tactics from West Indies ... First over after tea with the game in the balance and it is ....Brathwaite ?.

Moeen hits a match winning half century.

[Aidan11]

250 lead.

Still WIs game at this stage for me.

[Arthur Crabtree]

WI can get a draw out of this still, however many England make. A defeat here would be a heartbreaker.

The fielding has cost them a comfortable win.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hundred partnership has come and gone, 110 for the eighth wicket. The bowlers must be desperate.

[Aidan11]

Unlucky Ali.

[ianp1970]

Terrific from Moeen

[mikesiva]

Bishoo gets Moeen for 84. The horse has bolted.
