It's a factor, but I wouldn't;t say it has been deciding personally. That second innings was England chance to take the game away from Windies and they threw it away. Today they've been poor in the field. Also Blackwood's performance right now is a massive factor in a low scoring game.

Yep. England pissed away a tremendous opportunity yesterday.

The bowling conditions first innings for England were like nothing else in the match, Im confident we would have won

Agree batting yesterday

Stokes is too happy with 40s. He needs big 100s when he’s in.
 
Hope blackwood can get his ton. Deserves it.

He was a bit of a laugh as test cricketer last few times we've seen him.

Proper innings today even though he's rode his luck.
 
Time to replace some of the old guard and look to the future for me
Denly not played many but after this series his test career should be over
Long term replacement for Jimmy Anderson needed I would say (I’m not saying drop our best bowler)
Wk position can come under consideration again
Stick with the opening two
Bess has a future a good on in test cricket for me
In the next 2-3 years we lose broad also so we need to look for a replacement for him (wood isn’t getting any younger)

Think the red ball game will be due massive change by the next ashes.
