Last day of 1st test and no forecast of rain so far. 40 game points at stake, England need those points badly. Situation looking bit tricky for both teams as game could go anywhere from here.

West Indies did come back strongly by picking quick wickets towards the end of the days play by picking 5 wickets in just 35 runs and England collapsed again. They really started well and after losing Stokes the wickets continued to fall and now England are only 170 runs ahead and 2 wickets left. I am expecting WI would not have an target above 200 and should be winning it comfortable unless rain interrupts the match.
England will be hoping that the rains saves their day. There batting line up collapsed in both the innings. The shows how the lack of matches and lack of practice could hurt the players. If today WI showed a better performance and won the first test match, it will would be a very good start for them after the pandemic break.
There is really a good chance of WI in this match. Now they should make the most out of it and should turn the tables in their favor. They won't get a better situation of winning this match. If they can't win from here, I am afraid they won't be able to win more matches.
West Indies in a better position to win the match, England is just leading by 170 runs and most probably they will add 30 to 40 runs as they just have 2 wickets left and even if they add those runs it is not a huge total for the last day and hopefully West Indies will go for the win, if they start defending then it is going to be a tricky situation. West Indies needs to play aggressive cricket and win the match from this situation.It will be an interesting end to this test match as it could go either way but right now England have the upper hand even though the lead is less then 200 runs. I think 180+ will be tough for the WI to chase down but as I have a bet on the WI to win this match I am hoping that they come out and take the last two wickets and then bat aggressive and go for the win but if they lose quick wickets then I think England can win as the WI in the past have shown that they crack under pressure.

West Indies needs to play aggressive cricket and win the match from this situation. It looks like England might win this one. I am not expecting a draw because West Indies batting is very unpredictable in all formats which is why I don't think they can survive for a long period of time. They are way too dependent on specific players like Chase and Holder.
England are looking to post a 200+ lead quite easily at the rate at which they are going which should be enough to screw West Indies in my opinion.

The game is turning around again here and England are six down now. All of sudden england found themselves in such a situation where there lead is only 153 and 4 wickets left. Around 10 overs are left in a day. Look like we will get to see a very exciting 5th day finish in this test match.

@7788bitcoin, there is a good chance for you winning the bet if ENG plays through the day safely.
Before the start of the game i did not expect England would sideline their best bowler Stuart Broad who was the leading wicket taker in the past two series England played really well and won matches including the Ashes, i seriously do not understand their selection criteria, West Indies bowled really well and batted beautifully and even though i wanted England to win the match now i wanted West Indies to win the match as they played really well in the Test format after a very long time and England needs a loss to refocus things and pick the best team rather than undermining the opposition. 
Currently the lead is 89 runs and Crawley seems to have adapted to the WI bowling. So with 7 wickets in hand, if they don't make any stupid mistakes when the second new ball comes into play, they'll post a target around 250 for the West Indies. I missed yesterday's game but considering WI played good in the first innings, I think this is going to be a draw and a very small chance for WI to win.Edit: New ball taken. Let's see how this goes.

Both the openers were cautious about not losing their wickets and avoided unwanted shots while playing against the Windies bowlers and that helped them. If they continue the defensive stance for another session and try to put pressure on the Windies bowlers on the final session, maybe they'll get a chance to put more pressure on the WI batsmen on the final day.

Now England leads by 11 runs with the loss of only 2 wickets. England needs to score more than 200 runs in order for them to be in a good position. But, if they continue losing wickets then they are in serious trouble. West Indies batsmen can bat England should know this by now.
England are not 34 runs ahead of WI. Both Joe Denly and Zak Crawley are playing good and still 46 overs left in the days play. I think if England can bat well here they can easily give 250 runs target to the west indies which I think would be a competitive score.

England started well atleast to survive the day without losing wickets and this is a good sign for them. Now first session of today's play will be crucial because if England build partnership from and do not lose much wickets then we might head for the draw and in case if England lose quick wickets then still trailing by 99 runs , England would not be able to take good lead and may end in a losing the match.
Today first sessoion compeltely belong to England they play very good cricket and now they have some good advantage which need some more patience from them if they able to hold nerves then surely they can do some good job then surely they can lead from front as last day batting is never been easy and lead above 200+ is very good for them. England's performance would have been better if "Root" & "Buttler" had played. best wishes for west indies team.
Root has not been in form for quite sometime now and Buttler did play and scored 30 something runs in the 1st innings. However, Root's inclusion could have helped if he somehow regained his form.Lead down to two figures and hopefully they will give a careful start tomorrow morning. I am hopeful for England in this innings.
I am rooting for Holder and Gabriel to take quick wickets and put pressure back on England. Stokes is the big wicket here. If they get him quickly, it is probably game over for England.but first we need 300+ runs from England for this all otherwise its not going to help them at all.
It's totally possible as long as Stokes stays in the middle and scores freely. West Indies will probably try to take him out asap.@Royse777 England are now trailing West Indies by 99 runs, and I never expected them to underperform in this match, and further if West Indies player’s can take few early wickets once the play resumes, then England player’s will find themselves in an uncomfortable position. Also I feel that I’m going to be proved wrong for saying that West Indies won’t be able to beat England, but I’m yet hoping that England player’s will step up and win this game.

I was expecting more runs from WI but anyway still this is a good lead and English batsmen needs to be careful. It's good thing that English team did not lose any wicket before the stump. Lead down to two figures and hopefully they will give a careful start tomorrow morning. I am hopeful for England in this innings.
Now its all one English batsmen if they able to stay on crease and have some good batting then surely the can came back in this test even West Indies is still missing 30 to 40 runs as if they touch 150 figure then surely England was going out of this match but now they have some chance for fighting back and going into fifth day with some lead which surely going crucial for West Indies but first we need 300+ runs from England for this all otherwise its not going to help them at all.England survive the last part of the day and now the first half will be very important for both teams. If England are able to survive and do not lose wickets till lunch they will have a very good chance to come back in the match. WestIndies on the other hand need to bowl out the top 3 batsmen in the morning to put more pressure on the england batting line up.
