Brooks and Blackwood are proving to be rather stubborn and hard to break down.

They're playing well

True. 98 overs in the day . Well, 3 hours to go. England used 11 overs before the declaration, 2 between innings, 37 til now , still 48 to bowl and lets wait

Looking good for England now but Holder is always dangerous

England win. No Steve it could have been but the win is englands

A very good win in the end, well planned and well executed. The problem for the next Test [apart from the Manchester weather] is how to fit the 7 available bowlers in to the last four positions [assuming the top 7 stays the same]

Yep.
A good win . 1-1 all to pkay for.
Off we go again on Friday.

What a great win! I think the selectors have a headache as we can't have a team that hinges on one bloke firing on all cylinders

Excellent recovery from England, cracking innings from Pope and nice to see Buttler batting well [he can do it] I fear the weather may have the last laugh though

Aim 450 and hope england leave enough time to bowl west indies twice

I think, sadly, the weather this time round will cause a draw thus giving the Windies the trophy for good. Happy to be proven wrong, though.
By heck, but I never knew Cornwall was that big

crewearpley40 · July 25, 2020, 09:50:48 AM

Cornwall is 6ft 7. 22 stone

Makes Colin "Ollie" Milburn look small!
He took a smart catch yesterday though.
Yep, the weather, I think, will make it difficult for England especially if the weather in Manchester is anything like it is down here.
