Indeed, it does get confusing, Alfie.

Massive hail storm atm outside my house. Hopefully, it won't reach Edgbaston!

Fairly comfortable first hour. 42 from 14 and no scares.

Roadmap probably calls for a speed up after lunch and a declaration at 600 or so as the daylight fades to give the bowlers the best conditions : but I imagine the weather will have something to say about that ?

Without wishing to appear uncharitable ; I do think this Joseph chap could be termed a pie thrower...

Checked his history : guess he is only Twenty ; and he has a couple of three-fer efforts against Pakistan. But I'm not sure how he got them on this showing.
Only five matches so maybe they will give him time. But I don't think he will get many more...

Disgraceful bowling from the Windies this afternoon.

They have surrendered cheaply and are merely slinging the ball in a terrible fashion.

1) The umpire should wide a few more deliveries
2) Cook should hang around long enough to best Lara's 400*

Personally think England should bat until 15/20 overs left in the day (providing there's no rain) - get upto 650-700 if possible...

Malan won't mind. He really needed an innings here to assure himself of some more chances.
This will get him some. And his first fifty clap will help his confidence. Jury will remain out even if he turns this into a hundred but at least it's a start.
I do like the look of his attacking strokes ; but the lack of quality in this attack (for want of a better word) renders the actual strength of his all round game still very much questionable.

You want 700 , Olly ?  Overkill , much ?

Perhaps Cook can go for Lara's record Smile

Think your weather reference is apposite ...they'll want plenty of time to go for the kill when they get bored with batting.

Edit ...I see Duty got there before me with that one ...

Runs wont be easier to come by than when you're 500+...get those extra 100 or so then, and bowl them out twice in a row. Got three days left, no rush to declare

Ah but will they want to bowl twice in a row ? Teams seldom do these days . Usually prefer to bat again even when they could enforce a follow on just to rest the bowlers...

Cook the double hundred - on a misfield. (Couple of overs ago I had this wild fantasy that he would go to his double with a six off the spinner ...ah well...)
Jokes aside : whatever the bowling , this has been a batting master class . Quite a decent scoring rate , chanceless - in command even when conditions were a bit difficult and Roach bowled some good stuff.
That early season form for Essex seems to have been a fair indicator that relinquishing the captaincy has indeed refreshed his batting clap

Malan gone - to Chase ! On the stroke of lunch...that's what comes of playing for the interval .
He will feel he's given away a free hundred there ; but its a useful marker for him anyway.

And Cook looks imperious . Don't think I will stay up to see his three hundred though. Enjoy the batting display , everyone. Hope you get a full day.

That bit of spin will excite Moeen for later on in the game.

Perfect platform for Stokes with the bat.

Pathetic West Indies continue to disgrace the game they ones adorned. England should just bat on and on and on. Bat for 3 days, and then should bowl the West Indies out twice in a day and a bit. No point declaring early and losing out on valuable day-night experience. Can do all that in the next games, try finishing in 3 days and earn some extra rest.....

Yeah but the BessBus only runs in Taunton! Wink

[Geek note: Somerset's young off spinner Bess has got outstanding CC stats but all his appearances have been in home matches.]

they will declare for 600 and then bowl out WI for 200ish
juts like the Ind-SL series

cheap & easy runs and yet the 3 new comers at the top of the order couldn't make it count
65 is not enough Malan should have compensated by smacking a 165

This Windies attack highlights what I said prior to the series and hoping to find a new opener. It is such a feeble attack how can a big score really be rated?

They have proven themselves though - the likes of Stoneman, Westley and Malan have not. Like I said Jennings should have been axed after Trent Bridge test and Stoneman tested against a real test attack - after all that is what he will face in Australia not a feeble Windies attack. Malan's sizeable score never matched Root or Cook's knock so sums up where he is at the moment.

Malan didn't exactly prove himself with that innings. But he did get through in difficult conditions late on day one ; and played some nice shots in getting his 65.
It surely earns him a couple more games to show what he can do.

OK I get that West Indies aren't the ideal test for Ashes Tests ; but can't do anything about that . They're here and the players will just have to be judged on how they perform in these matches. You can gets fair idea of a player even against poor opposition ; though I agree it doesn't guarantee he will be able to do the same in tougher circumstances...

Jimmy had a great first hour : TRJ just joined the party and West Indies looking all at sea at 89/5. Could be following on soon...

Hi Alfie - do you think then that Root would plan to enforce the follow on? I'm generally keen to do so but Test captains are far less keen these days.

I think he will today , guildford. (As Toby traps Dowrich to leave them six down)
Resting Anderson and Broad rather early points to it I think ? He's hoping the other bowlers can finish the job and his main pair will still be fresh to start again.

Blackwood resisting (aggressively !) - you have to admire his spirit . But not much support. Holder can bat. But then the hutch door will be open...

Not so sure England will force the follow-on. If they do it will deny the selectors the chance to have another look at England's new to the side batsmen. Will they want to deprive Stoneman, Westley and Malan of more key time at the crease with a chance to fill their boots and lift their confidence and self-belief?

Yes I'd like to see Stoneman & co have another hit. But it would be a little artificial if the lead is 350 , no ?

Guess it depends really on how long the remaining West Indies wickets resist. Not sure of the weather forecast for Sunday/Monday but Root won't want to miss an opportunity to wrap up a win here.

Yes I see your point. I would say, though, that England will win this test whichever way they want. They either enforce the follow-on and win inside perhaps three and a half days or bat again and win inside four days or a little over four days. Ali strikes and seventh wicket falls.

Broad takes the 8th wicket. If this is polished off quickly now then I'd expect England to enforce the follow-on.

Just an observation - why do they persist on calling the first break lunch at 4pm in the afternoon? They should call it Tea and call the later break Supper or something.

Tricky decision for Root whether to enforce the follow-on. The West Indies are more than very likely to fold a 2nd time today itself, and that would give England a couple more days of rest. But if they go in and bat again, there is a chance for the likes of Stoneman, Westly and Malan to score the runs that are available in plenty and perhaps build some confidence going into proper game in the future. However, if the England top order performs as susual and leave things to Root and Cook, or Stokes Bairstow or Ali, there would be absolutely no benefit whatsoever, other than the players building up their overall numbers.
Any possibility that the WI players and their stupid board would have some new tussle and that the club lot would go home mid-way into the series?

Afghanistan, with the likes of Rashid Khan, Mohammed Nabi and Hamid Hasan would have been a sterner challenge. And they surely valued playing test cricket and would have at least tried to make it something like a contest. West Indies has been a complete and utter disappointment with their batting, bowling, fielding, attitude and strategies (if ever there was one).
Zimbabwe and Bangladesh have had their struggles against top sides, but they at least wanted to play, and there was some potential for the future. Bangladesh have evolved into a decent outfit at home, and have had their moments away as well in recent times. Zimbabwe gave Sri Lanka a proper run for their money recently, and had their moments against sides like Pakistan.
There is absolutely no hope about this West Indies team. Perhaps that's why they are playing the 2 Hopes in their team. Michael Holding on commentary, observed that Jason Holder as captain has it tough as he doesn't really have the quality material to work with. But more importantly, he observed that Holder, over the last 2 years, has not improved as a cricketer, with either ball or bat. Can't help but agree, and also add that the latter part wouldapply to the entire team as such.......

Yh agreed, Afghanistan would have put in more effort

Bangladesh are just better now and Zimbabwe put in more effort when they can put together a team

I would much rather have watched, England vs Bangladesh or even Afghanistan than this

7 down, this will be over the today, 19 wickets in a day. Despite being an England supporter I am not really enjoying this. Far too easy and the tour should be called off now

The West Indies continue to embarrass. They should really go home! The WICB and WIPA are never there when you need them!!

They should try forcing Holding out of retirement. Shiv Chanderpaul is playing some county cricket somewhere in England right? Is Ambrose still with the coaching staff?

MSP

Curtley is in the commentary box. It's coming to something when you think that Ambrose could improve the batting never mind the bowling Wink

That was dreadful.

The happy memories prompted earlier by Dummy's post on the other thread just make me feel so sad tonight.
