England 1st Innings
Rampaul and Edwards opened the bowling. It was an overcast 13 degree day. Strauss 0(6) was out bowled in the first over of the day. Cook 2(110 was out in the 3rd over edging to the keeper. Pietersen was out for 4(17). Trott didn?t make it much past the drinks break, caught at backward point for 19(47). Bell 9(19) was run out shortly before lunch. At lunch the score was 5/76 Bairtsow 33*(67), Prior 5*(17), Rampaul 2/15 (9)
Bairstow reached his 50*(110), and the score was now 5/113, England looking steady, and Prior on 19*(45). Bishoo was brought on, and got Bairstow 51(114)lbw, hawkey showing the ball to be missing the stumps, although it did hit him on the full, so it was fair enough. Broad fell for 0(8), also off Bishoo. With Prior out for 30(66), Panesar decided to up the score. He fell for 5(16). Anderson out for a golden duck, England score 137.
West Indies 1st Innings
Anderson opened the bowling with Broad and picked up Brathwaite for 2(9) early in the innings. 1/2, not a bad start for England. Anderson knocked Barath?s leg stump out of the ground on a no-ball, ruining what could have been the perfect start for England. Panesar was brought on and got the wicket of Bravo 5(12), leaving an arm ball that turned a little more than he expected. He then bowled Bishoo for a 2nd ball duck, when he mistimed a back-foot defence to virtually the same ball. At tea the Windies were 3/40 Barath 16*(38), Chanderpaul 7*(15), Panesar 2/5 (2)
After tea Pietersen bowled Chanderpaul, who tried to block but missed. The score was now 4/48. Panesar got Barath 27(68) caught at square leg, the score 5/80. Anderson got Baugh next over, now there were two fresh batsman in, Roach and Sammy. Sammy was caught at point for 2(7), leaving just the tail to try and catch Englands lead. The ball was given to Trott so he could clean up the tail. He got Edwards for 4(25), and Roach for 10(29), and the score was 9/104. It looked like England could be batting again on the first day. When Shillingford was caught at point, West Indies had made 114, 23 runs short of England, who had 2 overs to bat on day 1
England 2nd Innings
The remaining two overs were played out with no score from either batsman. Cook 3(17) was bowled when he didn?t see the slower ball from Rampaul. Trott 5(18), was run out as he had been many times before. Strauss out 3(31) and England were in trouble at 3/14. Bairstow gone for a golden duck, 4/17. Pietersen 18(29), Bell 21(49) and Prior 16(9) provided little resistance, the score 7/80 when Bell was out bowled by Edwards. Panesar was out for a 3 ball duck without troubling the scorers. Broad 8(19), score still on 80. The innings was over with the score on 90, England leading by 113, West Indies victory seemed certain.
West Indies 2nd Innings
Only two wicket were taken, that of Barath 32(105), when he played on to a slow ball from Smith, and Bravo 13(24), who flicked a ball from Bairstow to square leg.
I have started an Ashes Series, in Australia, but may not update very often as i just got Tiger Woods 13 and might be playing that for a while.
