We have bad news from Manchester as its raining and few peoples saying we can lost today's all play due to this rain which is going to hurt very badly to home team https://twitter.com/GeorgeDobell1/status/1284398719203520512?s=20
This is actually good news for West Indies
If today's play is washed out, then we have only 2 days of play so if the Windies bat sensibly they can end up in a draw 
But who knows maybe ENG will wind them up and win by an innings. I think two days are also enough for the England team to bowl West Indies out but this rain is really helping west Indies. If they had the control, they would have want it to rain for all three days so that they can't lose the Match. Another thing is that if the match is drawn, the West Indies cannot lose the series.

If today's play is washed out, then we have only 2 days of play so if the Windies bat sensibly they can end up in a draw But who knows maybe ENG will wind them up and win by an innings. They have lost one wicket and are trailing by 437 runs. It is very much possible that England will bowl them out today, and then ask the West Indians to follow on. IMO, there is enough time available (~250 overs) in order to get a result from this match. If some of the West Indian batsmen can offer resistance against Broad/Curran/Woakes, then it may end up as a draw.

Windies team.. If today's play is washed out, 
3 team cricket is going on, trying to enjoy new format but empty-quiet stadium feels little weird in T-20/T-10 kind of format.

If today's play is washed out, then we have only 2 days of play so if the Windies bat sensibly they can end up in a draw But who knows maybe ENG will wind them up and win by an innings. they now require a very good partnership and somebody to play a long inning to help WI make a comeback in the match.
They don't have many test match winners in their team in order to form such big partnerships. They won the 1st match thanks to great individual performances and some luck.Who knows what will happen, England does not have their best bowling line up and if two players put up a good partnership then there will be a good chance of a draw but for that first they need to avoid the follow on and then bat as long as possible and frustrate the England bowlers and if they can bat the entire day then they will have 2 more days, it all depends upon how the West Indies players are going to perform and how long they can bat.
Do you really think that the West Indian batsmen are capable of playing the long game here? I don't think so. England came back strongly in this match and I don't see any hope for West Indies to be honest.

There is no way West Indies can chase 469 but the question is whether they can avoid the follow on or not. They they 269 runs to avoid the follow on and i think the pressure on the batsmen will make this task impossible.

Yeah, 450 runs sounds good but with the sudden loss of wickets they probably won't reach it or they'll go for some heavy hitting and end up over 450. Irrespective of the score, ENG should declare and let Windies bat for 10-15 overs and try to pick some wickets.
England finally declared for 469/9 and the final wicket was frustrating the West Indies bowlers as they put on 42 runs before the England captain declaring the innings and i think Stuart Broad should be sent earlier rather than sending him as the last batsman because he does have a Test century against Pakistan, lets see how West Indies is going to respond as England is not having their best bowling line up.I see Zero percent chance of WI wining this one.

I can say England are back they have done their job, this is going to be a one sided match. If England can get some early wickets, I do not think West Indies will be able to achieve the target of more than 400 runs.

Tea Break
41 overs left today.. and score is 378/5
Any prediction on declaration? 450 sounds good? How about give 12-15 overs to Windies so that English bowler could get a chance to strike 1-2 wickets with the new ball? no matter what score is.

In next 25 overs they can do 100+ as Buttler and Stokes on and after reaching 480 to 500 they can take control as now West Indian moral going down which is not good signal with last hour in batting can give them more disaster and England can win this match by an inning. 41 overs left today.. and score is 378/5

come on guys atleast let west Indies come into bat once. Bowling attack of England looks good on paper but west indies pretty much decoded that in previous game too.
Stuard Broad is back in the team but there is no James Anderson and Jofra Archer and the team selection is really confusing and the English batsman is playing well and Ben Stokes is still in the crease and looking to score a double century and if the West Indies players could play a longer innings then we might see a draw, it all depends how many runs England could score in the first innings and how West Indies play their innings.
Roachie roast
Dominic dominating
Stokes stroking deep
Holder holding nothing
Its official fellas Windies got cucked and series now stands at 1-1, not expecting any drastic turn of event in the next 4 days.

, not expecting any drastic turn of event in the next 4 days. West Indies decided to bowl and might find themselves in a shock now that England have comeback strongly in 2nd test with losing just 3 wickets and making 207 on first day of the play. Sibley and Stokes managed to establish a good partnership and if they can hold for the first session of today's play they can easily manage to target 400+ runs in first innings.
I missed yesterdays game, but what I saw from the match highlights is that the Windies let themselves down with some very poor/reluctant fielding and dropping out some sitters. Sibley doesn't look settled in my view and he is as vulnerable as early in the game but Stokes looks more fluent and settled. So, if Windies could somehow break this partnership and pick up a few wickets then they can stop them from crossing 400 thereby standing a chance to get back into the game.
