Thing is - I and many England fans expected Cook to score a ton based on his impressive opening stats. He really was a top opener. Averaged around 45 I think.

Other than football and F1 is there much left.. I was in a pub earlier and all they seemed to have was old games. I looked up at the screen and saw Dan Bentley coming out the tunnel playing for Brentford. They drew 2-2 with QPR and he conceded goals from Matt Smith (poor error) and Luke Freeman! Then they showed a Celtic Rangers game from 1998. I have never had Sky so it's no skin off my nose, but their subscription must be losing value pretty much everyday.

Loads of Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A and boxing too. Plus Champs League and Premier League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly likely a draw but it might start turning Leach got the ball to turn in the first couple of overs and then it stopped, maybe a bit of wear and tear might help. But using the spinners could also mean a 5-6 run rate, we are running at 5 over the last 20 overs so it's not impossible. Getting to a 300 lead would take probably 20 overs out of the game, the n the change of innings may leave 65 to get 300? Oh and well done Joe Root.....

Captains always bat on for too long in my opinion which is understandable really so I am sure they will set them closer to 300 than 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting Braithwaite saying it was disrespectful of Eng keeping the Windies out there for so long. Think I'd agree. Why did they start the last over needing 6 wickets from 6 balls? Bit embarrassing. Realistically at least 5 overs kept they should have called it a day, surely? We never looked like taking wickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
