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

[hans kraay fan club]

Hope run out backing up!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

53/2

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Sounds like a ridiculous wicket. Anyone watching able to confirm?

The text commentary I have makes it sound pretty amusing:

Broad to Brathwaite, OUT, dropped, deflected, run out! Broad in his follow through can't cling onto a fierce straight drive, but instead, the ball ricochets off his thigh, into the non-striker's stumps, and Hope is stranded! England get the breakthrough in the most extraordinary passage of play, and now West Indies are up against it...

Rotten luck on Hope there - but I'll take that all day long!

Ball watching. Unlucky but also should have been more aware.

 

[Napier]

Not looking too good at the the moment and that declaration looking braver by the ball. Two quick wickets and it will all change again.

 

[Titanic]

100 partnership for Brathwaite 70* and Hope 59* from 159 balls

WI 155-2 (46 overs), 167 required to win from 50 overs

England need a couple of wickets and soon, or this could become 'interesting'!

Barring a collapse the Windies should coast this, if that happens Root needs to think about his generous declaration.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

At 168/2, Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaite have now added 361 runs batting together in this Test!

It'll be a shame too if he does, usually message boards like this are full of criticism for declarations made too late, like if we'd have waited for an hour this morning there would definitely been complaints - best to applaud his declaration. If we lose this its because of the bowlers and fielders.

I'm glad he did. Making for a cracking final day.

Cook shelling Brathwaite on FOUR this morning, for starters!

TMS keep repeating the stat that in 73 Tests and 1000+ First Class matches at Headingley no batsman has EVER scored a century in both innings of a game.

If BOTH Brathwaite and Hope were to achieve the feat in this same match, that would be statistically RIDICULOUS.

Brathwaite gone... a rather wild drive... edged to Stokes at slip... out for 95

197-3
