| 0.6 : 0.6: Roach to Sibley, OUT! LBW! That is a big, big wicket for West Indies and what a start for the West Indies! Roach this time is successful in attacking the stumps, bowls it on a good length, angling in a bit to the right-hander. Sibley looks to flick this towards mid-wicket but is wrapped on the pads. Roach and West Indies put in a whole-hearted appeal and the umpire raises his dreaded finger. Sibley, who got such a good century in the last Test, departs in the first over in this one. England |
| 11.2 : 11.2: K Roach to Burns, FOUR! Good shot! Length delivery on off, Burns punches it through covers for a boundary. |
| 21.3 : 21.3: R Cornwall to Root, OUT! Run Out! Excellent work in the field from and Root who was getting in his groove has to depart. Big wicket for the tourists and a big blow for Enngland. Back-to-back run out for Joe Root. The last one was a sacrfice not this time. Floated delivery on off, Burns looks to defend but the ball goes to the right of short third man. Root calls for a quick single and goes for it. Chase gets to the ball quickly and has a shy at the keeper's end. The ball kisses the bail. R |
| 21.6 : 21.6: R Cornwall to Burns, FOUR! Short and outside off, this is cut away through point. |
| 25.5 : 25.5: R Cornwall to Stokes, FOUR! Nice use of the feet! Tossed up delivery on middle, Stokes comes down the track and drives it through mid on for a boundary. |
| 27.1 : 27.1: J Holder to Burns, FOUR! The new session starts with a boundary! Holder starts with a loosener as he bowls a length delivery outside off. Burns gets on his back foot and punches it through backward point for a boundary. |
| 34.3 : 34.3: K Roach to Ben Stokes, FOUR! No stopping that. Short ball but Ben is ready. Camps back and pulls it with disdain through mid-wicket. Bring 'em on! |
| 34.6 : 34.6: Roach to Ben Stokes, OUT! BOWLED! Stokes stands in disbelief. What happened? A ball has gone through the gate. Massive gap between bat and pad. Kaboom! On a length, just outside off, Stokes looks to defend but a bit lazily. There is no foot movement but the ball moves. There is a big gap between bat and pad and the ball finds that. Off and middle pegs hit. Stokes is a goner! |
| 41.1 : 41.1: R Cornwall to Burns, FOUR! Bit of a gift after the break. Short and outside off, easy for feasting and Burns feasts. Rocks back and cuts it through the covers. |
| 43.2 : 43.2: R Cornwall to Pope, FOUR! That is a solid shot. Full and outside off, Pope comes down the track and flicks it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 47.4 : 47.4: R Chase to Burns, OUT! CAUGHT! Sir Andrew Strauss, Chase heard you! And dear Cornwall, what a catch! What a catch! Will come back to that Strauss comment later. First, the ball. Short and outside off, Burns rocks back to cut but is too close to the ball. He gets a thick outside edge as a result and the ball flies thick and fast to first slip. The giant Rahkeem Cornwall there, has barely any time to react but he trusts his instincts. He just thrusts his right hand and the ball sticks! Treme |
| 56.4: K Roach to O Pope, FOUR! Full delivery outside off, Pope looks to drive but gets an outside edge. It goes towards third man for a boundary. |
| 57.6 : 57.6: J Holder to Buttler, FOUR! Gorgeous shot! Ah! What a delight! Holder overpitches it on off, Buttler gets on his front foot and plays a classical straight drive through mid off for a boundary. |
| 59.4 : 59.4: S Gabriel to Buttler, FOUR! Poor delivery from Gabriel! Short delivery on leg, Buttler pulls it towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 60.3 : 60.3: K Roach to Pope, FOUR! Nicely played! Short and outside off, Pope cuts it between gully and point for a boundary. |
| 61.1 : 61.1: S Gabriel to O Pope, FOUR! Excellent shot and Pope moves into his 40s with that. Fuller on off and it comes in with the angle. Pope gets on his front foot and keeps brilliant balance to hit it through mid on for a boundary. |
| 61.4 : 61.4: S Gabriel to Pope, FOUR! Poor ball and punished! Gabriel bowls it on the pads, Pope is quick to get on it and flick it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 62.2 : 62.2: J Holder to O Pope, FOUR! FIFTY FOR POPE. He gets to his half century in style. A very important innings for Pope and his side. He has been short of runs in this series but he has stood up when his side needed him the most. Full ball outside off, Pope gets on his front foot and drives it through covers to get to his fifty. He raises his bat as his teammates applaud his effort. Job not over yet as he needs to convert this into a big one. |
| 63.3 : 63.3: S Gabriel to Pope, FOUR! Too wide and punished again by Pope. Fuller outside off, Pope drives it square on the off side, in the gap through backward point for a boundary. |
| 63.6 : 63.6: S Gabriel to Pope, FOUR! Another boundary and England are moving along. Full outside off, Pope is quick to get on his front foot and drive it through covers for a boundary. |
| 67.3 : 67.3: R Cornwall to Buttler, SIX! That is huge! Flighted delivery on middle, Buttler lofts it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 67.6 : 67.6: R Cornwall to Buttler, SIX! This is good batting from Jos Buttler! Tossed up delivery on middle, Buttler lofts it over long on for a biggie. |
| 75.6: R Chase to Buttler, FOUR! Terrific shot! Full delivery again on off, Buttler drives it through covers for a boundary. |
| 77.6: R Chase to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Overpitched and punished. Chase bowls it too outside off, Buttler gets on his front foot and drives it through covers. It is hit so hard that the man at short cover, Kraigg Brathwaite, misjudges it and misfields it. |
| 78.1 : 78.1: R Cornwall to Pope, FOUR! Nicely played! Floated delivery on leg, Pope flicks it towards fine leg. The fielder chases it and tries to stop it but it races away to the fence. |
| 79.4 : 79.4: R Chase to Pope, FOUR! Another lovely shot from Pope. Tossed up on off, Pope shows great foot movement as he comes down the track and slams it through mid off all along the ground for a boundary. Moves into his 80s now. |
| 82.3 : 82.3: K Roach to Jos Buttler, EDGED AND FOUR! Unlucky for Roach. Fuller outside off, Buttler goes chasing after it for a drive but ends up getting a thick outside edge which goes between the second slip and gully to the third man fence. |
| 84.6 : 84.6: K Roach to Pope, FOUR! Good shot! Full delivery on middle, Pope drives it through mid on for a boundary. |
| 89.1 : 89.1: S Gabriel to Pope, OUT! BOWLED! Pope gets out on nervous 90s and he cannot make use of the life he got. Just the start West Indies would hav wanted. Cornwall will be a relived man as he put him down in the last ball of Gabriel's last over but this time Shannon has decided he won't take the help of anyone else and do the job al by himself. Another peach of a delivery from Shannon. He bowls it on a length on off and makes the ball jag back in. Pope looks to defend but this ball is just too g |
| 89.5 : 89.5: S Gabriel to Buttler, FOUR! Good shot! Full delivery on middle, Buttler flicks it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 90.6 : 90.6: K Roach to Woakes, OUT! Dragged on! Roach has his 200th Test wicket and West Indies' brilliant start to the day continues. They are in pole position now to restrict England to 300 now. Back of a length delivery outside off, Woakes looks to punch it on the off side with a horizontal at but he ends up getting a under edge which goes onto rattle the off pole. |
| 91.3 : 91.3: S Gabriel to Jos Buttler, FOUR! That is put away! Short delivery on middle, Buttler pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 91.4 : 91.4: S Gabriel to Buttler, OUT! Caught! Buttler departs as well and England once again are in trouble. The tourists have been brilliant with the ball this morning and they have their 3rd wicket of the day. Another ball which is in the channel where batsmen hate the most, in and around the off pole. It is on a length and shapes away a bit. Buttler looks to defend but gets a thick outside edge which goes low to second slip. Skipper, Jason Holder there takes a good, sharp catch. The Windies are pu |
| 91.6 : 91.6: S Gabriel to Bess, FOUR! Nicely played! On a lenth on off, Bess guides it fine towards third man for a boundary. |
| 92.4 : 92.4: K Roach to J Archer, OUT! CAUGHT! Roach has his 4th of the innings and England have lost their 8th wicket overall and 4 this morning. Brilliant exhibition of Test match bowling from the pair of Roach and Gabriel this morning. Good length ball once again around off, this ball would have troubled the best of the batters so this was always going to be too good for Archer. He looks to defend but gets a thick outside edge which once again goes low to second slip and the skipper there with his b |
| 94.6 : 94.6: K Roach to Broad, SIX! That is clobbered! Short delivery on middle, Broad pulls it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |

| 99.3 : 99.3: Holder to Broad, FOUR! Nice shot! Full delivery on off, Broad lofts it straight over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 101.5 : 101.5: J Holder to Broad, FOUR! The old Broad who is more than capable with the bat seems to be back. Fuller around off, Broad lofts it over covers and gets another boundary. |
| 103.5: J Holder to Broad, Fifty for Stuart road! What a knock this has been! 50 off just 33 balls and it has come at a time when his side needed it. Back of a length delivery on off, Broad pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary to get to his milestone. |
| 104.3 : 104.3: R Cornwall to Broad, FOUR! Nicely played! Floated delivery on middle, Broad sweeps it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 107.2 : 107.2: R Chase to Broad, OUT! Broad holes out! End of an excellent innings. He has changed the dynamics of the session and the innings with his blistering 62 off just 45 balls, which has once again put England in the ascendancy. He though will be disappointed with his dismissal. A low ful toss on off from Chase. It was there to be put away, Broad gets down on one knee and finds the man at deep mid-wicket to perfection. Blackwood there makes no mistake. |
| 109.4 : 109.4: R Chase to Anderson, FOUR! Nice shot! Flighted delivery on off, Anderson plays a reverse sweep over first slip towards third man for a boundary. |
| 111.5 : 111.5: J Holder to J Anderson, OUT! CAUGHT! The innings and session ends. We do not have to wait for too long to have lunch. A length ball, around off, Anderson looks to drive but without moving his feet. The result is more of a slash and hence, an outside edge is induced. Straight into the hands of Rahkeem Cornwall at first slip. No mistake this time. ENGLAND HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 369! |
| 1.4 : 1.4: S Broad to K Brathwaite, OUT! Caught! Broad strikes in his first over and West Indies have lost their first wicket. This is the reason you give the new ball to Broad because he makes things happen. Good length delivery on off, it shapes away just a bit. Brathwaite looks to defend to protect the off pole but the ball takes an outside edge and goes straight to first slip. The England skipper standing at first slip makes no mistake and takes a good catch. |
| 8.4: J Anderson to Campbell, FOUR! Nice shot! Short and outside off, Campbell cuts it through point for a boundary. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: S Broad to Campbell, FOUR! Excellent shot! Full delivery on off, Campbell drives it beautifully through covers for a boundary. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: C Woakes to Campbell, FOUR! That is put away! Short delivery on middle, Campbell pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: J Archer to Hope, FOUR! Nicely played! On a length on off, Hope guides it past the slip region towards third man for a boundary. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: Archer to J Campbell, OUT! CAUGHT! Is that the breakthrough England needed? Archer has provided that. Stupendous bowling from the West Indian playing for England to a West Indian playing for West Indies. Short delivery on middle and off, Campbell looks to hop and defend. But the ball keeps on rising and all he can do is try and get his gloves out of the way. But he can't. The ball goes to gully where Rory Burns completes the formalities. West Indies are 44/2, of which, Campbell made 32! T |
| 19.6: C Woakes to S Hope, FOUR! Lovely shot! Full delivery on off, Hope drives it through mid off for a boundary. |
| 23.2 : 23.2: J Anderson to Hope, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent bowling from Anderson! Shai can only hope for some luck to carry on in this format if he fails in the next innings as well. Good length delivery on off, Hope looks to defend and looks to do so properly. But the late away movement defeats him. That is the type of bowling this king bowls. Can't do much. You know you are beaten, you know you have got an edge. Look back and hope that it does not go to hand. Unfortunately for Shai, there is no hope as |
| 25.3 : 25.3: Anderson to Brooks, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Oh, the master, the master, Jimmy is the master! You feel it will come this way but it goes the other way. You feel it will go the other way but it says knock knock, hello! Sensational from Jimmy. He sets Brooks up with a couple of outswingers and then gets this one to swing In. Shamarh is caught off guard, as he fails to pick the shine on the ball. Plays for the outswinger but has to adjust late for the inswinger. Too late. Inside edge is taken and |
| 34.2 : 34.2: S Broad to Chase, OUT! LBW! More success for Stuart Broad. Huge smile on his face. Chase departs and the West Indies are 5 down. That looked as plumb as it could get. The nip-backer, as it is always called when Stewy bowls. On a length, outside off, Chase looks to stay back and defend. But the ball nips back in and stays low a touch as well. This is just Day 2, so cannot really blame Chase for playing back. Hits Chase on the knee roll as he misses his defense and there is an appeal. Not fr |
| 35.5 : 35.5: J Archer to Holder, FOUR! Nice timing. Full and around middle, Holder whips it through mid-wicket and finds the fence. |
| 37.4 : 37.4: J Archer to J Blackwood, FOUR! Cracking shot! Short and outside off, Blackwood cuts it through point for a boundary. |
| 37.6 : 37.6: J Archer to Blackwood, FOUR! Nice shot! Full delivery on middle, Blackwood drives it through mid on for a boundary. |
| 40.3 : 40.3: C Woakes to Blackwood, FOUR! Terrific shot! Full delivery on middle, Blackwood drives it past the bowler through mid on for a boundary. |
| 42.3: Woakes to J Blackwood, OUT! TIMBER! The middle stump has gone for a toss! Woakes has taken one of the most crucial wickets of the innings as Blackwood has to depart. On a good length on middle, the ball nips back in. Blackwood looks to defend but the ball goes through between bat and pad and crashes into the stumps. West Indies are 6 down now and England into the West Indies lower order now, with just Dowrich the only genuine batsman remaining. |
| 42.4 : 42.4: C Woakes to S Dowrich, FOUR! Nope, no signs of nerves from Dowrich! What a shot to get off the mark! Full delivery on off, Dowrich just creams it through covers for a boundary. |
| 43.1 : 43.1: J Archer to Holder, FOUR! On a good length on off, Holder plays it with soft hands and guides it towards third man for a boundary. |
| 43.2 : 43.2: J Archer to Holder, FOUR! Nicely played! Full delivery on middle, Holder drives it through mid on for a boundary. |
| 43.3 : 43.3: J Archer to Holder, FOUR! Third boundary of the over! On a good length on off, Holder looks to defend but gets an outside edge. It goes between second slip and gully towards third man for a boundary. |
| 44.6 : 44.6: C Woakes to Dowrich, FOUR! Nice shot! Short delivery on middle, Dowrich pulls it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 49.3 : 49.3: J Archer to J Holder, FOUR! Lovely shot! First boundary off the day. Archer overpitches it slightly around off, the class of Holder is such that he will pounce on such small mistakes. He gets on his front foot and drives it past the diving mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 50.6 : 50.6: C Woakes to Dowrich, FOUR! Dowrich is looking very good this morning and this is an excellent shot. Back of a length on off, Dowrich gets on his back foot and pulls it with authority through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 56.4 : 56.4: C Woakes to Holder, FOUR! The first job has been one by the West Indies. They have managed to avoid the follow-on in style. Back of a length all on off, Holder pulls it behind square on the leg side, away from the fielder and gets a boundary. |
| 58.3 : 58.3: Broad to Holder, OUT! LBW! No luck for Jason Holder and his valiant knock comes to an end. Broad uses the width of the crease and bowls a length ball pitching around off and coming back in. Holder looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. Broad is confident he has his man and goes up in his trademark appeal-celebration combo. The umpire agrees with him and raises his finger. Holder knows he is a goner but decides to signal the 'T'. Ultra Edge first rolls in and it shows that ther |
| 60.2 : 60.2: S Broad to Cornwall, FOUR! Terrific shot from Cornwall to get off the mark. Broad goes full on off, Cornwall lashes onto it and plays a gorgeous straight drive past Broad for a boundary. |
| 62.2: Broad to Cornwall, OUT! LBW! Cornwall departs too and just like his skipper takes away a review. Excellent bowling from Broad. He has his 4th wicket of the innings and he has looked brilliant. His 495th Test victim. Legendary! Good length ball around off and it comes back in. Cornwall looks to play it across the line as he looks to flick. He misses and gets hit on the pads. Broad goes up in appeal along with his teammates and the umpire agrees. Corwnall decides to take the review. Replay |
| 62.5 : 62.5: S Broad to Roach, OUT! Caught! Roach goes for a duck and Broad has his 5th wicket. Another 5-fer for Broad and we are so used to seeing it. Good length ball around off, Roach looks to defend but the ball moves away from him and takes the outside edge of Kemar's bat. It goes low to first slip where Root takes a good catch. |
| 63.3 : 63.3: J Anderson to Dowrich, FOUR! That is put away! Short delivery on middle, Dowrich pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 64.4 : 64.4: S Broad to Dowrich, FOUR! Nicely played! Length delivery on off, Dowrich punches it through covers for a boundary. |
| 64.6 : 64.6: S Broad to Dowrich, OUT! Caught! That is the end of West Indies' innings. Dowrich is the last man to depart and Broad finishes with 6-fer. Excellent stuff from England's talisman. He bangs the deck hard on off, Dowrich looks to pull but mistimes it and ends up lobbying it to mid on. Chris Woakes has a safe pair of hands and he makes no mistake. WEST INDIES ALL OUT FOR 197! |

| 3.6 : 3.6: S Gabriel to Sibley, FOUR! On a good length on off, Sibley looks to defend but gets an outside edge. It goes past gully towards third man for a boundary. THAT WILL BE LUNCH ON DAY 3! |

| 27.3 : 27.3: R Chase to Burns, FOUR! Poor ball and played well as well. On the pads, Burns gets on his knee and sweeps it through backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 27.5 : 27.5: R Chase to Sibley, FOUR! Beautiful shot! Chase is guilty of bowling it too full on off, Sibley gets on his front foot and creams it through mid off for a boundary. |
| 29.2 : 29.2: R Chase to Burns, FOUR! Swept and swept nicely. Floated on off and middle, Burns sweeps it against the spin through square leg for a boundary. |
| 30.1 : 30.1: K Roach to Dom Sibley, EDGED AND FOUR! Roach comes and finds the edge straightaway. Fuller around off, in an area where the batsman feels obligated to go for a drive. Sibley gets tempted and goes for it but gets a thick outside edge which goes perfectly between second slip and gully for a boundary. Motivating start to the new spell for Roach. |
| 33.2 : 33.2: R Cornwall to Dom Sibley, FOUR! Short delivery on off, Sibley looks to cut but gets an outside edge. It goes past first slip towards third man for a boundary. |
| 36.5 : 36.5: K Roach to Burns, FOUR! 100-run stand comes up in style. First time since 2016 there has been a century stand between two English openers at home. Back of a length delivery on middle, Burns flicks it through square leg for a boundary. |

He gets to his fifty in style. Flighted around off, Burns gets down on one knee and sweeps it though mid-wicket for a boundary. He raises his bat as his teammates applaud his effort. |
| 40.5 : 40.5: Holder to Sibley, OUT! LBW! Sibley has to depart and he takes a review with him. This is the danger of coming too far across your off stump, you're always vulnerable and that is what has happened here. Good length ball on off and coming back in, Sibley comes across and looks to flick but misses. This time the ball hits him low on his pad. Holder goes up in a confident appeal and the umpire agrees with him and raises his finger. Sibley has a word with his partner and decides to opt for the |

| 56.3 : 56.3: K Roach to Joe Root, FOUR! Shorter from Roach but Root is in T20 mode so he sees the cherry as a white ball and pulls it through mid-wicket for another boundary. |

| 1.3 : 1.3: S Broad to J Campbell, OUT! Caught! Broad gets his 498th Test victim and that comes from a beauty! Traditional Broad wicket. He has enjoyed bowling to left-handers and has more often than not won the battle against them. Nothing different here. Terrific delivery from Broad. He comes in and bowls it slightly fuller on off, Campbell thinks it will come with the angle but goes the other way. It takes the fat outside edge of his willow and goes straight to first slip. Skipper, Joe Root there ma |
| 3.1 : 3.1: S Broad to Roach, OUT! Caught behind! Two wickets in no time for Broad and make that victim number 499 for him in Tests. He was angry on being dropped from the first Test and he has guided that anger in the right place. The night watchman does not survive the day to see the night. Excellent delivery. It would be good for majority of the top order batsmen, it was going to be too good for the night watchman. Broad bowls it full around off and the ball shapes away a bit. Roach looks to defend |
| 3.5 : 3.5: S Broad to S Hope, EDGED AND FOUR! Good length ball on off, Hope looks to defend but does so with soft hands. The ball takes the outside edge and goes through gully for a boundary. Hope is off the mark but not in a conventional manner. |

| 13.1 : 13.1: S Broad to Brathwaite, FOUR! Poor from Broad! He is guilty of giving width outside off and also bowling slightly short. Brathwaite cuts it behind point and gets a boundary. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Broad to Brathwaite, OUT! LBW! Broad enters the galaxy of greats and he has his 500th Test wicket. Brathwaite three years ago was Anderson's 500th wicket and now he has become his partner Broad's milestone victim. Proud moment for Broad, his friends and family. Broad bowls goes fuller on off, the ball comes back in and also keeps low after pitching. Brathwaite looks to defend but misses and gets hit low on the back foot. Broad and his teammates go up in appeal and the umpire raises his fin |

He starts with a good length delivery outside off, Brooks looks to play it on the up on the off side, he plays a loose stroke and ends up getting a thick outside edge which flies past the left of Rory Burns at gully and to the fence. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: J Archer to Hope, FOUR! Good shot! On a length and outside off, Hope punches it through point for a boundary. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: J Archer to Hope, FOUR! Nice shot! Full delivery on off, Hope drives it through covers for a boundary. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Woakes to S Hope, OUT! Caught! Once again Hope gets a start and throws it away. A problem far too frequent in the recent years in the longest format. West Indies in big trouble here and have lost both their overnight batsmen. Woakes gets into the wicket column. Woakes bowls it slightly shorter outside off, Hope looks to pull it but ends up hitting it off the upper half of his bat. The ball goes high in the air in front of mid off. Three players are coming for it but Broad wants to be part |
| 19.1 : 19.1: J Archer to Brooks, FOUR! On a length on off, Brooks guides it towards third man for a boundary. |
| 20.6 : 20.6: C Woakes to Brooks, OUT! Caught! Half the side back in the hut for West Indies! Woakes has his second and the tourists are surrendering without much of a fight here. Good length ball outside off, it nips in just a bit. Brooks looks to drive it towards mid on but without any foot movement and away from his body. The ball shapes in and kisses the inside edge as it goes low to the left of Buttler. He takes an easy catch behind the stumps. Looks like the only way West Indies can save this Test |
| 26.2 : 26.2: C Woakes to Chase, OUT! Run Out! The last thing West Indies needed was a run out and that is what has happened here. Excellent work from Dom Bess! Good length delivery on off, Blackwood plays it towards point and looks for a single. There is a bit of hesitation but they decide to go for it. Bess at backward point runs to his right, gets to the ball and turns. He has to score a direct hit as Buttler has not reached the stumps and Bess does hit the stumps. Excellent from the spinner.

| 28.3 : 28.3: C Woakes to Holder, FOUR! First boundary for Holder in the innings. Fuller outside off, Holder leans and dives it through point for a boundary. |
| 28.5 : 28.5: C Woakes to Holder, FOUR! Another half volley on the pads and this time it is punished. On the pads, Holder glances it through mid-wicket and gets a boundary. |
| 28.6 : 28.6: C Woakes to Holder, OUT! LBW! Holder did not get any bat on it and it is plumb in front. West Indies' skipper and best batter departs and the tourists are falling like nine pins. Good length ball pitching on off and middle and nipping back in. Holder looks to play it straight but misses and gets hit on the pads. Woakes and co. go up in appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Holder decides to signal the 'T' straightaway. Only an inside edge could probably save him there. Replay rolls in a |
| 30.5 : 30.5: C Woakes to Dowrich, FOUR! Nice shot! Full delivery on middle, Dowrich drives it through mid on for a boundary. |
| 34.1 : 34.1: C Woakes to Dowrich, OUT! LBW! No need to review it looks plumb! Another one bites the dust and this time it is Dowrich. Woakes has his 4th of the innings and this has been a fantastic spell from him. Picked up from where Broad left off. Fuller around off and nipping back in, Dowrich moves across and looks to defend but he misses and gets hit on the pads. The England players go up in appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Dowrich does not even consider about the review and follows the ma |
| 34.5 : 34.5: C Woakes to Cornwall, OUT! LBW! Woakes joins the party and gets a 5-fer! Cornwall does not last long and a very tough Test match for him comes to an end. Poor footwork from Cornwall. Good length ball on off and angling in. Rakheem looks to play but with no foot movement and gets trapped in the crease. The ball hits him flush on the pads. Appeal for LBW and the umpire gives Cornwall his marching order. He too does not review and walks to the pavilion. |
| 36.3 : 36.3: C Woakes to Blackwood, FOUR! Short delivery outside off, Blackwood looks to play an upper cut but gets a top edge. It goes over the slip region towards third man for a boundary. |
| 36.4 : 36.4: C Woakes to Blackwood, FOUR! Nice shot! Short and outside off, Blackwood punches it through covers for a boundary. |
| 37.1 : 37.1: Broad to Blackwood, OUT! CAUGHT! That is all over! Short of a length delivery on leg, Blackwood looks to pull but gets a faint edge. It goes towards the keeper where Jos Buttler dives to his left and takes a good catch. ENGLAND WIN THE MATCH BY 269 RUNS AND WIN THE SERIES 2-1! |
