Good day to be on the road then
The Leach and Saqib show ends 2 balls from close. 86 partnership. 200 ao.
Actually 204 as Saqib hit a 4 the ball before he was out.
England in West Indies: Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood spare tourists’ top order -
Windies now 69-3 in reply, Campbell has just faint gloved a catch to Foakes down the leg side.

If our tail can wag their’s can wag twice as much…
So we bat 3rd 200 runs behind?
Sounds about right
Da Silva 100. Out next ball. At last.
Think he was on 0 when an LBW review ruled ball pitched outside leg. Was very tight and definitely hitting. Narrow margins.
Correction not out on review
Strange one that, he obviously thought he’d nicked it but there was daylight between bat and ball on review. Overton showing a distinct lack of class, throwing the ball at Da Silva and hitting him, like a spoilt child. And finally innings over, Seales c&b Root. Root is undoubtably a great batsman but his captaincy is utterly clueless.
Bowling beyond mediocre.
Stupid shot from Root. 25-2. Root’s having mare of a match. 2 runs. 0 captaincy.
27-3. Lawrence bowled, no shot. Will all be over today
It always looks dreadful, getting bowled shouldering arms, bat above his head. May as well tie a white flag to the handle.
And now Stokes. Left a ball then somehow tapped it with the toe end as it went by.
