3rd Test, West Indies tour of England at Manchester, Jul 24-28 2020. Rally!

England 190-4.

West indies already given up...poor body language.

Buttler's fifty came off 104 balls

West Indies would be relieved ......bad light ended the days play

STUMPS, Day 1: Bad light stops play. England fight back with an unbeaten century stand for the fifth wicket, to end Day 1 on 258 for 4.

Roach 2/56
Chase 1/24

If they make no changes to the batting to play against a better bowling attack, what are we hoping for? A draw? Lara was correct from the beginning. He said this team is not equipped to bat out five days. You mean our reserves so bad that not even one deserves a debut?

This series is really ramming home how many quality pace bowlers England have.
In most other eras Sam Curran would play every Test, Chris Woakes would be a household name and Olly Stone woukd be preparing for his 50th Test.

369 all out

Pope 91, Buttler 67, Broad 62

77 - 5 after 34 overs

Day 2 - Session 3: West Indies trail by 287 runs

Blackwood 4*, Holder yest to score

Campell 32, Hope 17, Chase 9, Brooks 4, Braff 1

Just a bit of constructive criticism, Our batsmen struggles against the short balls. We have lots of fast bowlers. Take the batsmen to the nets and pepper them with pure short balls .
