And Crawley goes so it’s back in the melting pot.

Wickets bring wickets. The Windies won't fancy chasing 200 in a day five pitch so if England can muster another 50 out of the tail then it's set up for a good day tomorrow.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

I’d say 230+ but yeah tomorrow should be good watching.

165 for 8.

Oh dear.

 

[BanosSwan]

Ahh a patented England collapse. 5 for 30 in 12 overs.

 

[The.Taz]

Not watching, sick of this take a knee crap and it’s just a shame both teams can’t lose

It's time for Joe Denley to take a break ... permanently. Sadly he's too long in the tooth to change a lot of his batting problems and become a successful Test batsmen.

Joe Root to replace him for the 2nd Test, and keep the youngsters in the side.

Meanwhile over at the cricket, the last vestiges of the England tail are visible with the lead not yet at 200.

With the weather and match position as it is then the draw result is the most unlikely scenario.

Almost certainly his last game for England in this format.

200 to win. Should be an interesting afternoon.

Windies by 3 wickets IMO. I can see them getting to a comfortable 120 for 2 which is followed by a mini collapse and then a nervous crawl over the line.

Or maybe not.

All of a sudden Stokes’s decision to bat first and play Archer and Wood seem very sensible.

Keep coming with the predictions!

As you can see I am completely clueless.
