    Lovely to see a pretty competitive match so far. It's far more entertaining than something one sided and boring, unless it's us doing it to Australia.

    Bashir was close to a no ball with his wicket. I don't know why spinners risk going over the line.

    Starting to look like our 'good day' yesterday was 100+ runs under par

    Agreed. As I said earlier in the thread we should have looked at 500. Sky Bet are offering evens in play for them to reach 400 which seems generous with over half the team remaining and currently a senior batter at the crease with a guy seeing it like beach ball now, against a tiring attack in the heat.

    Although it's starting to swing about a bit. At least it makes it interesting

    Athenaze and Hodge played some classic strokes.
    I didn’t think they were capable.
    Game on now

    Hodge out so we should have a lead going into the 2nd innings!

    Terrific day of test cricket yesterday. International cricket is much better with a competitive West Indies. Hope they can get their domestic infrastructure improved to develop what looks like a good current set of players.

    Good couple of wickets so far with the new ball this morning, still think we can take a lead into the second innings!

    Imagine if Mark Wood had the luck of Mitchell Starc. He'd take 5 in every innings. Some Bowlers never get the luck.

    Morne Morkel was another example. Time and time again he was the best South African bowler in innings where Steyn and Philander took all the wickets.

    Not sure what Da Silva is playing at. Defensive for 4-5 balls and back on strike for same again.

    Whoops, lovely six by Joseph to level the scores. This last wicket partnership has been good!

    One innings game now, should be good. I wonder if England haven't been taking this as seriously as they ought to have?
