We need all the batsmen to step up to the mark 2nd Innings not leave it to Cook Root and Stokes.

169 runs behind, West Indies bowlers fired up and our Numbers 2, 3 and 5 not scoring runs. Might be over by this time tomorrow...

I'm pretty confident we can bat better this time around, there seems not many demons in the pitch.

Problem is the demons inside the minds of some of the batsmen

what sort of target should we looking at as a minimum winable one, obviously 500 would be great but realistically.

In an ideal world we could do with knocking off the deficit for no more than 1 wicket lost, but this is not an ideal world.

Must be very tame. 20 overs in and Root's not batting yet.

Meanwhile despite our problems with The Ashes looming I see our Antipodean Cousins are fairing as well as we did in Bangladesh, bowling the hosts out for 260 and ending Day 1 of The 1st Test in Mirpur on 18/3 in reply - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKO41972

We're 28 behind at the moment with 7 wickets left, if we can buckle down and get a 220-240 lead, I'd put us as favourites.

As England take a lead at stumps with 3 wickets down.

Also Stokes with good scores from Bairstow and Moeen of 40+ then perhaps we could save it. We have lost 1 possibly 2 more wickets than we needed to make a game of it.

Meanwhile in Mirpur, Australia are 182-8 in reply to Bangladesh's First Innings score of 260 in the 1st Test - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKO41972
