3rd Test, England tour of West Indies at Gros Islet

rally

Changes to the balance England team in the offing, but kept under wraps for now. Bairstow to keep wicket? Where would he bat? Stokes fit to bowl?

West Indies are of course the team on top, a side buoyed by their first major series win
(against anyone other than Bangladesh or Zimbabwe) since 2012...........

In the blue corner, it is England who have been left beaten and broken, despite coming in ranked No. 3
in the world (they are now set to drop to No. 5).
The optimism created by series wins over India and Sri Lanka has been replaced
by nagging questions about batting depth, selection missteps and their ability to respond to conditions
as well as foreboding about the potential knock-on effects for confidence in a World Cup and Ashes year.
A dismal run of one series win in the Caribbean since 1968 is actually the least of their problems.

Roach to Jennings, Chase puts it down at third slip! the ball bends away to take the shoulder of the bat...
8.3
Roach to Jennings, Big appeal as Roach darts the ball in to clip the front pad - West Indies chose not to review.
4.6
Roach to Jennings, Roach gets one straight enough to encourage a fat edge reaches Campbell on the half-volley!
