[Cricket] 1st Test, England tour of West Indies at Bridgetown, Barbados

[Simster]

Jennings goes cheaply yet again, will he ever make it? He does score the odd decent score then thrives on that for ages but is it good enough?

I don't disagree but I'm beginning to wish the other 5 wickets that have fallen today were scores as "cheap" as Jennings' fine knock of, erm, 17.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Good job we played 2 spinners...

 

[studio150]

49-6

289 looking more than competitive

 

[Titanic]

Seven down... Buttler surprised by the extra bouce... edge to the keeper.

Kemar Roach has 5 for 13

49-7 (21.1 overs)

13 wickets have fallen for 97 runs.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Lucky we bat down to No.10.

The good news is that we should avoid an innings defeat as Windies will presumably bat again rather than enforce the follow on.

 

[studio150]

At least we have surpassed our 46 all out in 1994

 

[Moshe Gariani]

They are looking very solid in these opening exchanges. Fully expect a healthy opening partnership.

I know my cricket. Opening partnership by far the best of the innings.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Anderson must be sitting there thinking that he would at least enjoy half a day off from bowling

 

[Titanic]

England have lost 5 wickets for 5 runs

Unbelievable scenes.

 

[Titanic]

and Curran is swishing outside the off stump #joy

 

[studio150]

61-8

Foakes caught keeper

 

[Titanic]

New boy Alzarri Joseph joins the party... Foakes edges to the keeper

England 61-8

Adil Rashid in at no.10

 

[jakarta]

8 down now...

 

[Easy 10]

Cor. Batting is hard isn't it ?

 

[BensGrandad]

what is the follow on figure that we need to reach?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Classic England.

 

[Titanic]

what is the follow on figure that we need to reach?

90... but would they enforce it?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

what is the follow on figure that we need to reach?

Irrelevant. We won't get it and they'll bat anyway.

(another 29 runs needed...)

 

[BensGrandad]

As they are on a high having ripped through us I would expect them to enforce the follow on. and hope for a repeat. They have little to lose as we will not set them a large 4th innings total to chase.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Rashid didn't seem to know a lot about those 4 deliveries.

All set for Curran to top score for England with 18 no.
