[jakarta]

Just pray Root doesn't get injured before the Ashes, absolutely the glue holding this team together at present.

Yep

So, 12 consecutive Tests with at least one fifty, only AB de Villiers has previously matched that feat. Well played, son of Sheffield Collegiate

 

[jakarta]

140-5 - you have to think that anything much above 250 is going to be a competitive score given the hapless West Indies batting last time.

 

[Badger]

Probably got enough for a declaration.

 

[BensGrandad]

Root out for 59 does this mean he has beaten ABV record or equalled it for consecutive 50s?

Equalled - obviously got a good chance to set the Record with a third Test coming up against such weak opposition, having said that the Windies have bowled far better in this match.

 

[jakarta]

236-7, another 60 runs and that is the West Indies done & dusted I reckon.

 

[jakarta]

250 up, Windies looking a bit jaded and dropping catches, 300 on the cards?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Is Woakes the best number 9 in world cricket?

Jayant Yadav? Averages 45.6 in his four test matches so far (including one ton and a 50)

 

[BensGrandad]

Dismal end to the innings from England 3 wickets for 0 runs. The consolation is if their bowlers can do it there is no reason why we cant ..

 

[big nuts]

No was not good enough either Vaughan or Atherton

 

[pasty]

Looking forward to today. Pleased WI appear to have made a game of it this time. Bloody good job they can't catch though

Don't speak too soon....

Anderson picking through them.

 

[OzMike]

Need to remove these two and soon.

Root needs to mix it up, let everyone have a bowl, including himself.
Why doesn't he bowl himself more, he is capable of taking wickets.

 

[BensGrandad]

Thy must regret dropping Toblerione.

 

[jakarta]

After toiling yesterday First two deliveries by Anderson take wickets - isn't cricket a strange game?

75 lead already looks useful, perhaps if England's 2, 3 and 5 decided to turn up in the Second Innings we might make a game of it...

 

[Postman Pat]

Thy must regret dropping Toblerione.

What on earth?
