Surprised that we only left 6 overs. I thought 10 so that Moen could have a couple, Chase was turning it a hell of a lot.

Probably more about getting two good sessions from the strike bowlers - which lets them rest well in the middle.

So why not 4 from Jimmy, 3 from Broad,! from Woakes and to from Moen.
Then they all come back fresh in the morning.

We were never realistically declaring with a lead below 300. The declaration was as bold as I've seen for a long time.

I think that final over confirms my point. How many runs did we add in the last 4 overs of our innings?
I very much doubt that the Windies have enough mental strength to bat all day.

25 runs added by England in the final 4 overs. A target of 297 which is too low with 100 overs remaining.

I'm pretty certain we will win, but why give the opposition a sniff?

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that it was a worthwhile 6 overs only 5 runs and the 2 openers have to start again tomorrow under pressure. This should ensure that we do not lose the game which wasnt so at lunch today.

1 to 3 to win, 3 to 1 the draw, WI no chance!

Aussies need 265 to win in Bangladesh - they scored 217 in the first

Is it raining in Leeds

Match delayed - Play due to start at 11:15am

Can't see anything but an England win, West Indies currently scoring at less 2 an over, Cook just dropped a sitter...

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Lets hope Broad gets a clump after getting the 1st

46/1 - Broad strikes

Get one get 2

Not out

Over rate today 4. Rate good enough for a win but wicket down, Moeen to come into game and Root can play a defensive field at anytime to bring the scoring rate down.

 

[BensGrandad]

Another wicket before lunch please.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Could be on those afternoons where Moeen runs through them.
