"Well, England will have mixed feelings about the 1st innings. In making 395 all out, the West Indies scored at nearly 4.5 / over. Fortunately, a lot of wickets were given away cheaply - at least 5 batsmen slogging and being caught when more sensible batting would have yielded more runs - albeit at a slightly slower scoring rate. Whether this was the right decision will be seen when England bat - and the ever present rain worry.
"Chanderpaul ran himself out going for a 3rd after a misfield by Giles in the deep. In fact, misfields accounted for a good 24 extra runs, and with 91 extras, the total should have been much less. Having said that, England should feel confident as the pitch is still true, flat and quick. Lara (61), Jacobs (40) and even Dillon (7 from 43 balls) were not troubled. Dillon even had the nerve to time a beautiful cover drive to the boundary from Harmison.
"Harmison and Butcher were the best of England's bowlers, with the previous game's hero, Hoggard, struggling for line and length. Anderson is yet to take a wicket on this tour and now has combined figures of 0/102 from 27 overs.
"How good is the score? Only time will tell. England to bat needing 195 to avoid the follow on."
