[First Test] England v West Indies - Southampton

[Liverpool Beachball]

Taken Gabriel off, bowling like a dream surely got another couple of overs in him.

Couple of overs for Holder makes sense mind gives the batsmen something else to think about

Quality cricket, really good session

Been a pretty even day tbf and all 3 results still possible

I remember listening to that moment on TMS. When Athers came on to bowl Bill Frindall came up with a stat that he was (or was about to become) the bowler with the worst average in test cricket. Moments later he halved his average with the worst lbw seen to man. Even the appeal was an apology

5/4 is very generous imo.....

Englands top order is fragile to say the least....

15/8 england win

6/5 windies win

11/4 the draw.

still a profit available by backing both sides to win. Forecast is good I feel a result is on. Corals odds, I’ve took the odds. Either win, small profit

Well played, didn't fancy them to bat the day out tbf.

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Well done getting through to close

 

[dixonsafc]

Well played, let's dig in again tomorrow morning.

 

[Ghfd]

15 for 0 at the close. Well played

england won the last session of the day imo, wickets then batting out

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Well played. Credit where due to Rory and Dom.

 

[scotch]

Did their job there. Well batted

Well played is pushing it I reckon. Sibley played and missed so many times, had a lot of luck

That's the life of an opener though. In that situation you put away your shots and your weakness. Rely on your defence. If a good ball gets you then so be it.

Also really impressed with Bess

Suspect he will be England's spinner for a while

Has improved remarkably since his debut. As highlighted on the Sky coverage, his seam position is excellent

John Campbell will be teeing off mind

Broad genuinely looks ready to kill him

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Just looking at this Stokes stat. Shakib is going to smash it, got the wickets already and only 138 runs needed. Has played 56 tests.

some going

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Need to bat neck end of 4 sessions now

 

[Ghfd]

Blazing sun for three days now. I’m strongly fancying a definitive result now.

ive back both to win so small profit when it happens

 

[Silly Point]

All three results possible, got to strongly fancy the windies now mind
