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

[fleet]

Congratulations WI - no way they will lose from here. Makes Lords interesting at least!

Cook drops Hope

Probably too late to matter... but would have made it interesting

37 from 12.3 overs

What a catch from our local boy

That's the guy that Sussex released because his batting and fielding wasn't up to much

 

[Titanic]

Moeen Ali into the attack... and there is a shout for a stumping... nah he didn't move.

Just 2 singles from the over.

33 needed from 11 overs

Maybe an extra 30-40 runs on the board may have made a difference but not much, needed early wickets this morning to build the pressure.

Shai Hope was coached in Sussex by Alan Wells as well, do you think we could have them both back

 

[Titanic]

Maybe an extra 3040 runs on the board may have made a difference...

That would probably have been enough!

 

[Hampster Gull]

Got tickets for the second day at Lords. Will be better atmosphere now

The England team just like the Albion's recruiting strategy. Make a complete balls up of something they should have done easy

Good to see the West Indies know how to play Test cricket. Given an easy 3.5ish an over to get today, they stuck to the plan, maybe only just with Blackwood!

WI..13/1 to win at close of play last night.....i had my finger on the button...but didn't

Makes one proud to be a fan of England.

The funless Aussies would have taken this match too seriously, not declaring until late morning or waiting until their innings had ended. Under the adage winning is everything, second is nowhere, to quote Shanks.

This is the sort of match that's going to met millions of fans including kids back interested in test cricket.

Well done Root, that would never have happened under Cook

Maybe there's a reason for that.

Well played to the West Indies. Making a monunental 322-5 in the fourth innings to complete an historic Test Match victory.

Cricket is the winner... and a decider to come [emoji106]

Yes, well done the West Indies.

And just for the record, I'd make the same decision about declaring again. No criticism whatever of Root for taking the decision he made.
