Superb knock by Broad, full of genuine shots too, proper cricket shots, none of the gimmicks the proper batters have developed from too much T20.

While he batted well I’m not sure that standing six inches outside of leg stump will make many ‘proper’ manuals! Also rode his luck but I know you need a slice.
 
Embarrassing from West Indies to allow this to happen, but puts us in a fantastic position. Windies don’t strike me as a side with a score of 350+ in them
 
369 all out. Reasonably happy with that. Probably would've taken that at 11am this morning. Definitely would have taken it at 12pm

That was chortlesome fun. West Indies could've realistically expected to get England out for 290 after the first hour or so. They couldn't have realistically expected Ben Stokes to have been batting as a tailender in a Stuart Broad mask.

Should ordinarily be looking at 400+ from the position at 11.00 but not going to object due to the weather situation, we needed quick runs.
 
Be watching post lunch

just want to mention Dom getting another not out. :D. Classic technique. He will be in play imo with the spin that’s been on show already
