England's saviour Moeen Ali is in next - we can all relax now

A good nights rest and hope the weather is good in the North so hope to be able to take quick wickets and bat again... This time for longer!

This is impressive stuff from Hope and Brathwaite. Hopefully they can get a lead of 60-70 run lead even better a 100 run lead if they're lucky.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

A well deserved 100 for Kraig Braithwaite played brilliantly with the soft hands to tackle the swing initially and had a good partner at the other end in the form of Shai Hope. WI needs to capitalize on this and should try to get a lead of 100 - 120 beacuse batting 4th would be a daunting task in these conditions even if England sets a target say around 200.

Good to see WI fight.

 

[Velocity]

Wow this is incredible. WI need a lead of around 120-130 which would be nice.

 

[aditya123]

Lead approaching 170 which is healthy enough to keep WI in the game. Can't help but think of how strong the position would've been if they had held on to those catches. We have a game om though which is refreshing after the poor show by SL against India. Praying for. WI. Cant think of a more important test result than this in recent times if WI manage a win.

 

[Velocity]

Two quick wickets would be good for WI. I'm afraid England will get 350 and bowl WI for 150 which is not what West Indies would want after gaining a winning position in the game.

 

[CerealKiller]

If England get 100 more runs, they might win

WI are gifting this match to England

a bit - getting Moeen caught behind on a no ball when on 32 could be pivotal moment in whole match as Ali and Woakes now taking game away from Windies. Pitch taking lots of spin now so will give Moeen confidence during 4th innings.....

Great knock by Moeen Ali... Great stuff.

It was. Englands middle/lower order probably best in world cricket atm

Stokes
Bairstow
Ali
Woakes

In theory all results possible tomorrow, shame cannot watch it .

Intriguing test match this. Plagued by poor fielding however.

Reminds me of why I love test cricket still and hate the fast food T20 junk.
