^^ Jofra not doing good as well. As soon as Windies cross 250 runs on scoreboard with 5-6 wickets in hand then English camp might miss Broad badly.
Anderson-Broad combination is lethal in the English conditions.

Mark Wood looks clueless out there. He was selected ahead of Stuart Broad, and so far he hasn't justified his inclusion. The match is rapidly slipping out of England's hand. West Indies is trailing by 45 runs, and they still have 7 wickets in hand. I guess the England players got a bit rusty, due to the lack of match practice. The West Indies team made the right decision to come to England early, and to have daily training and practice.
West Indies should capitalise the start they have got it . They are in good position and tomorrow will be an important day in the test match beacuse if WI does not take a good lead and England bounces back and bats well then it would be an interesting match and if WI can take good lead then England will automatically will be under pressure as then they will play to save the match .
No one can predict about West Indies as they are one of most unpredictable team in cricket today was belong to them but if England bowlers done some good bowling then surely they can fight back as West Indies have to go for last fourth inning and its never been easy for any team weather is also troubling but one thing is sure now we are watching some good and interesting match for next few days.Its no surprise for me as I said I liked the WI a week before the match started as we need to remember that both teams haven't played cricket for months and that even though the match is played in England I still think it will be even due to not knowing which team will be in form. The WI have done a great job so far and I am hoping they continue on with it and get the win as I have a bet on them to win the first test match. Also last time these teams played the WI played very well so they have shown that they can match it with England.
This is just a surprise performance from west indies players and they shown a great commitment to the match. This is not easy to leave your country in the pandemic and then give such a brilliant start in the first test match which is played after so many months. Not only their bowlers performed well but also their started batting good in the first innings. Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope should take the team to 100+ runs to make the position of WI more strong in this match.
Great to see West Indies restrict a team like England to 204 in a test match. To be fair, the English side is filled with newbies that I have never heard of. Guess they under-estimated the West Indian side here.
If West Indies can somehow amass a 100+ run lead, they have a good chance of winning this one. Hope and Chase are the players to look out for in my opinion.
Actually the batting line-up is pretty noob. I think England has decided to win this series merely on the basis of their bowlers. But so far even the bowlers don't look so good.

West Indies are playing well at the moment. At this rate, a 100+ lead seems completely feasible as long as they don't lose wickets quickly. Anderson is the biggest issue thanks to his reverse swing followed by Wood in my opinion.
Hope needs to stay and settle so that the middle order batsmen don't feel a lot of pressure when they come out to bat later on.

WI only trail by 142 runs if they do not lose any more wickets then I am sure they will win this test. Great commitment by the WI ballers to restrict ENG for only 204.

It is a big surprise that England struggled to reach 200 runs, West Indies bowled really well and the England batsman was struggling to find rhythm after a few months gap from cricket and West Indies started well without loosing much wicket, looks like the pitch has settled down and if West Indies can score a good lead then they can win the match from this situation and the morning session will determine the match.

You know that West Indies is good on "T-20" and “one-day" match. But now we see that West Indies is good on "Test-match" too. I'm just excited for this match. I hope West Indies win the match or this match will be drawn. Because England is too much good on test cricket. my thought says they won't lose test match against West Indies.
So far so good for the Windies. Wrapped out England for 204 in 2 sessions and managing 57/1 without losing many wickets. Holder takes a six-er and living up to this reputation as the best all-rounder in Tests. As far as I see, we are getting a result out of this match even if we have weather interrupts 
This is going to be a thriller to watch not a bad match to watch after the long break

Do not under estimate the England team and also do not forget that England will bowl last on this pitch. So even if west indies have around 180 runs target in the last innings, it will be difficult for the west indies to survive against the English bowlers.

I have not tuned my Tele yet but watching the score. Stokes and Buttler needs to put more runs. It was a pain to see 5 gone for only 87 runs. Rain is going to play a vital role in this match but some if 9 sessions can be managed then maybe we will see a result.
Stokes is out and finally the partnership between Stokes and Buttler comes to an end. England is now in deep trouble and lets see if the lower order can save them. They need another 100 runs so that their bowlers have something to bowl at.
Regardless of the poor performance from England, its good to see live cricket in action.

Never really expected this... England struggling at 125/5 and the top order is gone. Shannon Gabriel took three of the most important wickets. When England is in trouble, normally it is Ben Stokes who come to the rescue. And this time also the same has happened. The 6th wicket partnership between Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes has so far added 38 valuable runs. Any total above 200 would be competitive, under such overcast conditions.

250 is winning target here. They should try to wrap up English batsmen under 180 if they want to taste any kind of success.
3 DRS review system is working good so far, Bowling team is not hesitating to take review.
First complete session and its belong to West Indies as now they are on top just 71 runs and 4 wickets now we have last recognise pair on crease which can play very important role in this match if they able to settle a big partnership then surely England will back otherwise currently West Indies is doing good. 250 is winning target here. They should try to wrap up English batsmen under 180 if they want to taste any kind of success.

Going with England seems easy choice considering home advantage and 2 regular windies missing in the test squad due to personal reasons, would be good if you dig in and say Inning win or 100 +runs/ 8-9 wickets win.
But again don't underestimate Windies bowlers and don't over estimate English batsmen.
Raining.................. Whoosh

There is no way West Indies could win the match but the only help they can get is if the rain keeps on interrupting the match and today just 17 overs were bowled and if that continues then we might see a draw and on the betting lines it is not a good option, i waged a bet for draw and the odds were over 7 which was really attractive to miss out.
But your bet on Draw is too good and is worth the risk.Edit: 5 wickets gone. Pope gone.
