Cricket Thread - England v West Indies

[Eweimps]

All out. England with 182 lead. Now for some quick scoring

Some serious Stokes magic needed tomorrow to get a win. Probably an hour and twenty of quick scoring followed by some serious bowling. Sadly I don’t think there is enough time left .

A weather hit game that has seen some sturdy whilst steady cricket now has a chance of becoming a belter on day 5.

The draw is 10/11 at bet365, i'll be having a bit of that!

All about how quickly we score now and how brave we are with the timing of the declaration then we need to make them play every ball. Could be an interesting day ahead

23-3, occasional balls keeping low.

England's morning with Stokes' mayhem with the bat to set a big target and time for 2nd new ball if needed.

144 - 6. Come on England one more to get into the tail. The pitch is so slow though.

Dog-slow, isn't it?

I reckon it's as slow an Old Trafford pitch I've ever seen. A bit of variable bounce now would be handy.

That's a very good victory. Excellent patience, application and pacing of the match situation both with the bat and ball.

Top stuff in a rain-ravaged test.

He has the potential to be as great as Botham.
