Its a fastās wicket but its a shite test wicket even as bad as England have made it look, its a fucking bumpy back garden, shit if the Windies want to continue playing the format.
Watching Broadās 1st few balls maybe the inswinger or is he suffering from a bit of Rolf Harris?
His Boomerangs wonāt come back
Tbf, Broad really COULD have had a five for by now
Windies are certainly riding their luck this morning.
108-1 at the moment

Ali to Brathwaite, OUT , turn and bounce, jabbed to short leg! Into the bread basket, Jennings in action under the lid againā¦ and Brathwaite wonāt be getting his fifty today! England had built a bit of pressure, though heās not normally a man to let that fluster him, he was a long way across looking for a single to the leg side, but could only manage a deflection off the thigh pad
KC Brathwaite c sub (KK Jennings) b Ali 49 (156b 3x4 0x6) SR: 31.41

If Broad hits one of his purple patches things could get interesting.

Oh my god, what a delivery that was!
I love it when the batter is so bamboozled that he ends up on his knees.
186-5, Hetmyer goes for another heave and mis-times it, Anderson sprints in from the boudary to snaffle a superb catch.
Ironic given that Hetmyer was dropped off of Andersonās bowling in the previous over.
A little excerpt from the end of the article
On Friday, with the pitch showing increasing signs of variable bounce, the hard work of the England bowlers arguably deserved more than the six wickets they collected.
England dropped three catches - Jos Buttler two and Rory Burns one - and, according to Broad, the West Indies batsmen played and missed 103 times.
However, West Indiesā batsmen also showed admirable application, none more so than Darren Bravo, who is 33 not out from 165 balls and more than four hours at the crease.
āI donāt think we got the rewards,ā Broad, who took 3-42 on his return to the side, told the BBC Test Match Special podcast.
"But if you look back at our last six or seven months of cricket, we beat India 4-1 at home when we won every toss and got the rub of the green.
"In Sri Lanka, we won every toss and won the series 3-0. It took a huge amount of skill, but the cricket was going our way.
āMaybe it has turned here. Weāre still playing with skill and fight, but itās not quite going our way.ā
A wicket, weāve finally got a wicket.

Anderson to Holder, OUT , snicked and thereās the breakthrough! Reward at last for Anderson, who finds some extra bounce on a waspish back-of-a-length, just a touch of movement off the deck, and Bairstow tidies up!
