2nd Investec Test Match - England v West Indies - Headingly

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

The way the pitch is playing with big spin and variable bounce, I reckon 230 will be enough

 

[fleet]

149 lead, need at least another 50, you wouldn't fancy a 200 plus run chase on the fifth day?

Agreed we need over 200. Less than that could be very hard. I'd prefer over 250 as the target!

 

[Badger]

How many catches have the West Indies dropped?

 

[fleet]

That wasn't a great shot. 7 down and swinging back to the WI win

 

[pasty]

Oh bugger. Only really Woakes now that is going to trouble the scorers much.

Tea Day 4

Eng 357/7 lead WI by 188 with 3 wickets remaining.

Anyone know about Test Run chases at Headingly - can't remember any huge ones?

 

[Scappa]

Windies have thrown away a wonderful position - 50 runs conceded in a hapless 30 minutes after tea. Part-time spinner bowls a full-bunger first ball after the break, catch taken off a no-ball from a spinner, 4-balls all over the place

I think he would have been out if it had gone to the fourth umpire, foot was just on the line.

Something has to be behind the line - even if it's in the air when another part the foot is initially grounded. It was certainly close, but there's absolutely no reason for a spinner to be pushing the line that close. Umpire shouldn't have been given a decision to make.

When I saw that I noticed that they are the successful run chases. Don't Sky need to show the unsuccessful run chases or all last innings totals?

Cheers, I should have remembered the 2001 Game, doesn't look good for the West Indies does it?

Ali goes for 84

Done by the quadruple Nelson.

A shame, but that innings has taken the game away from the West Indies. A quick few from Woakes etc. and lets get bowling...
