England vs West Indies 2nd Test! Rally for West Indies

Excellent knock from Jermaine Blackwood. His false shot percentage is uncharacteristically low, but he's kept his favoured scoring area in front of square on the offside. Brisk, confident batting from the No.6.

Once again he is proving tricky to dislodge for England; West Indies 121-4, with 45 overs left in the day.

SIX! Back-to-back half-centuries for Shamarh Brooks!

100-run partnership between Brooks and Blackwood comes up.

Stokes to Blackwood, FOUR runs
back of a length, angled across Blackwood. Punched down the ground towards the vacant mid-off area... Stokes has to give chase off his own bowling! It dribbles agonisingly towards the rope, and he puts in the full-length dive. They'd already run four, whether it had flicked the rope or not

Stokes to Blackwood, OUT
short ball at the ribcage, gloved round the corner, loops up and Buttler takes the catch! Diving forward, sharp work by Buttler behind the stumps, and Stokes gets his reward eventually. Blackwood had fought valiantly against the short ball but eventually falls for 55

Ben Stokes shows again how good & how relentless he is with that short ball. If only his dad had stayed back in NZ. Imagine having to face Wagner & Stokes in tandem

they'll head off for tea. That wicket has changed the complexion of this match, after Blackwood and Brooks had put on a fighting century stand. Still five wickets needed for England, with West Indies hoping to cling on for 42.2 overs (or until bad light intervenes).

143 - 6

43.2
Woakes to Dowrich,oh my, Dowrich walks across and misses a flick, given lbw... he reviews Very similar to his first-innings dismissal
stuck on the crease trying to work off his pads, and it's umpire's call on ball-tracking! Pair for Dowrich

SO Dowrich lbw b Woakes DUCK

If the WI batsmen weren't so obsessed with playing from the crease and walking across their stumps like Braithwaite and Dowrich are these umpires call decisions would be going in their favour and not against them
