Windies overhauled, what a remarkable result, both of these batsmen are in good nick.

291-7, get a 50-60 run lead and put the Windies in for a fun and games final hour .

Loads of time left. Bat and bat if we can. 150 lead means they cant win.

Also, there was some chat earlier about the bowlers not being quite as fit as we might want.

Admittedly Woakes looks OK while batting at least.

It's rare enough that we start and finish a day batting (in the same innings anyway), I'd appreciate it just for the novelty value.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Smith out for 95. The ball kept low, unlucky that.

 

[Titanic]

England 376 all out, lead by 96 on first innings.

146/5

Looks like a good tight game over there.

Ireland are 142/6 chasing 158, they've recovered from 21/5 earlier in the innings (33/5 overnight).

 

[A1X]

All over at Stormont, Ireland beat Zimbabwe by 4 wickets

 

[Eeyore]

I love the way Da Silva didn't even bother waiting for the umpire on that one. The only other time I've seen that was Steve Smith when he was plumb to Chris Woakes.

 

[Beach Hut]

156/6

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I think I've asked this before, but has anybody ever seen a back foot no ball called in a test match? Because I'm pretty sure that De Silva wicket should have been given as one.

I think I remember the umpires looking at some replays once when Wood had taken the last wicket of the innings, and on that occasion it felt like they didn't call it out of embarrassment/sympathy.

 

[pasty]

8 down. This is clearly going to be over today

 

[pasty]

And 9 and 10 in same Wood over
