2 wins out of 3 tests on foreign soil is a flogging mate?

England are destroying the Windies. It's just like the Ashes all over again.

Let's hope the Aussie team keeps improving; a third straight bye in the Ashes would demean the great series somewhat...

You worried already?

Just a warm up series for the proper cricket this year.

The series against South Africa.

I don't think there is anything to worry about Betty.

The Aussies creamed The Poms 8 ashes series in a row between 1989 and 2003 without ruining the status of the Ashes competition.

^ oh the memories, more than 10 years ago, keep living in the past...

Now, back to now, I'm not particularly pleased with the way this game is going; are we gonna get these 2 bloody WIs out sometime today???

They'll over do it on the sausage rolls at lunch and we'll get them while they're thinking about having a nice little nap.

England require 191 in 2nd innings to win

Windies reaching 345 ao

1 for 1....and looks like clouds and rain tomorrow.

Could be trickier than expected for England....

It's going to be very tricky, my money would be on the West Indies at the moment, 50 runs in the first session without losing a wicket would settle the nerves.

Good test match scenario, it's why one day cricket is a total disinterest to me.

Broad's 11 might be the only consolation!

Don't you just love test cricket.

Yes, Indeed I do..... I sit next to a cricket nut, we discuss a lot, but only Test matches, when he wants to talk one day cricket he gives up as my eyes glaze over and he can tell I'm not listening..... it's just shite in my view

We will see just how good the WI bowlers are; and we will see just how good, or not, the England batsmen are; less than 200 on a fine pitch, some swing, but it's not crazy stuff and our supposedly great swing bowlers could still not stop WI getting 350 or so, thus, we will see what the world's number 1 team are made of.

If they do not win from here, then I don't think they deserve to be called the world no.1. Trott, Peterson, Bell are supposed (and have shown regularly that they are) to be world class - let's see it today!

I reckon Peterson will buckle down and see us through. I love the SAs...

Half right; hope Cook sees us through.

The Saffers have let us down this innings... Bell is plodding along nicely; we're at 100, so if these 2 can bore the pants of the Windies and score another 50, we're laughing. Had a chance to wallop the Windies and take all their confidence away; let it go...

A nice 100 run partnership bringing us home; it was never in doubt...

Job done. On to Friday at Trent Bridge...

A good win, could have been a very nasty last day

English nicely in the groove again, Windies batting and 42/3 after 14ovs.

Basking in the sunshine, 63-4, I wonder if Chanderpaul can carry this innings.

from 136-6 to 239-6, Sammy and Samuels putting a decent total together. It seems to be a nice batting wicket, I wonder if Pietersen will take note.
