2nd Test: West Indies v England at St George's

Good captaincy from Cook to bring on Stokes for Moeen and it immediately pays dividends as he picks up the wicket of Shiv second ball.

74 - 4

33.2  Stokes to Chanderpaul, OUT, full length sliding across the left-hander, Chanderpaul reaches out to drive it and chips it to point!

The change works immediately. Another poor stroke, reaching away from his body, the weight was back,
and it popped up square on the off side, just carrying low to Moeen diving forward
S Chanderpaul c & b Stokes 1 (13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 7.69
 

93 - 4 after 41 overs

40.3
Ali to Samuels, no run, tight off stump line, stuck on the pad, not out given but England want a review :

thinking that no stroke has been offered. Did seem like Samuels kicked it away, the bat is miles away from the pad,

is this hitting the stumps? Not enough stumps, clipping the top of leg, not a bad review at all really

102 - 4

Blackwood 12 Samuels 32


TEA

samules have a a time limit at his best ..a3-4 hours his best time. he has batted half of his time already for 32. 

whatever we get that's it

at this rate to scorr a ton he would have bat to lunch tomorrow and beyond..a whole day plus some.  has he ever done that?  it would be a fus' fuh he.

he however, appears to be trying hard.

121 - 4 after 51 overs

Samuels 42*

Ramdin mus' be pulling we legs...he wud send them in with Bish in his side ::confused::

not me.  rain or shine I batting first. I want the poms batting on day five with Bish there

126 - 4

52.6
Broad to Blackwood, FOUR, dropped, this has burst through Broad's hands in his follow through...a full delivery,

Blackwood jabbed forward, came back reasonably quickly and Broad couldn't grab it to his right.

Seemed to get his timing a little wrong (both batsman and bowler)  ;D 

Current partnership  55 runs, 20.2 overs, RR: 2.70 (Samuels 27, Blackwood 26)

129 - 5

53.5
Jordan to Blackwood, OUT, huge appeal for lbw! Looks good, Blackwood caught on the crease as it straightens on him,

not that far forward. Steve Davis says not out and Cook reviews. No bat involved. Height the issue, I think. Hit him on the knee roll.

And it's three reds! England will get that. HawkEye says it was slamming into leg stump

Blackwood lbw b Jordan 26 (58b 5x4 0x6) SR: 44.82
