Update regarding John Campbell's injury: the WICB in an official tweet has informed that he is having his toe iced, and if required he will bat again.

So that means that West Indies are 3 down (and not 4). All that said, it is surprising not to see Ben Stokes bowling to the West Indian batsmen. He has always taken crucial wickets during similar circumstances and if he could get a couple of the Windies batsmen, then they are done here.

England gave a lead of more than 200. If west indies wanna win by chasing 200+ runs, they have to play aggressively and if they play aggressively they will lose wickets quickly. At the end of the day we may see that west indies lose this match. so, IMO, West indies should play only for draw. I think , otherwise the will lose the match.
With the loss of two wickets of West Indies the bets have completely twisted.
How many twists will come in this match ?

Nothing more interesting than an unpredictable match
This is the type of game I wanted to see after the long pandemic break. Now ENG has the upper hand as WI are down by 3 wickets. But WI batsmen are unpredictable, so a target of 165 runs is still gettable in 2 sessions.
This is just unbelievable. West Indies struggling at 27/3 and now Shai Hope has gone back to the pavilion. Half of their top order is gone and they still need another 173 runs to win this match. This has happened to West Indies so many times in the past. They have lost matches, where they had an initial advantage. I guess this time also that will be the case. Will Roston Chase be able to build a partnership with Jermaine Blackwood?
As expected, West Indies batting lineup as inconsistent and unpredictable as usual. They played so well in the 1st innings and are 3 down for 27 runs in the 2nd innings which proves my point.
Am expecting England to easily win this one if they can remove Chase early. Archer seems to have regained his form while Anderson will probably continue plucking wickets. West Indies should have bowled well in the 2nd innings.

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.
For England perspective, they would be very happy if they can set target around 200-210 and Windies need to wrap up tail asap.
England : 297/8 .. 183 lead so far
Edit : 9 wicket down lead is now189 193 runs
Edit: Target 200 runs.

Target of 200 runs is easy unless they lose early wickets.
By the way anyone betting on this match. Its time to look at the currents odds.
200 run target can be easily achieved if West Indies batsmen play sensibly. It is not a huge score and therefore the odds have gone down. But, you never know till the match ends anything can happen in cricket.

Current situation of pitch is good so I am feeling today West Indies is going to win this match and we are going to watch some very good and entertaining match for next few hours.

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.
