Stumps Day 3 10-2
Windies need 389 runs, England need 8 wickets and no rain…
Think Root has made the right choices today…

West Indies finish the third day on 10/2, chasing an entirely theoretical 399. I wouldn’t expect this game to last anywhere near one further day, let alone the two that are available (weather permitting). And Karate Kid Broad is just one away from his 500th Test wicket.
Nice.

Judging by this batting they could have forfeited and put them straight back in.
Dont bother.
Pissing down.
Big band of Apocalyptic rain passing through, clearer behind if can dry everything out later
Inspection at 3pm.
Very wet one more shower to pass then radar showing clear
Called off for the day
And we’re playing for the day, small rain delay and then they’re back out again, Broad strikes to get his 500th test wicket.

Fuck me, seen the weather there now? Got away with that I feel.
The most poignant and moving series I think I can remember as well, Mikey Holding is a simply a superb dignified human being.

So did we time it just about right?

Yes but I bet they don’t take that risk again, it was too close and people have already said the same thing I’m saying.
England v Ireland ODI at my home of cricket.
Eng win toss and bowl. Vince in. Dawson out.
