*Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

Feels like years since Mo's played one of these innings. Probably is actually.

 

[vcs]

Good recovery by England.

The inability of our top order to battle through a morning might well cost us in this match.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bring it back Jase

England's session

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good session for us that, need to bat the day out though but at least we have something to bowl at now.

Good partnership from these two. The pitch has eased but I’m sure there’s going to be enough in it to avoid it becoming as flat as it was at Barbados. Really enjoyed watching how Foakes has batted, the archetypal keeper’s innings by coming in with the side under pressure and on the verge of complete collapse but he has been stubborn, patient and pragmatic with glimpses of class.

Moeen was under real pressure and looked as capable of putting one straight up in the air as he was of finding the boundary early on. His shot selection improved as the pressure eased and now is starting to look like the Moeen of old.

Well Mo's made me eat my words

Would still personally prefer Foakes above him in the order, but he’s played a gem of an innings so far. Let’s hope he doesn’t follow our other half-centurion Bairstow in being dismissed straight after a break!

Yeah I would too I think, but you can't argue with what he's doing.

300 would setup the match from here #IHaventWatchedABall

 

[Groundking]

**** sake Mo.

250 would be a top score from here.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Yeahh, get lost you ****ing pest.

 

[mr_mister]

Man that was an overdue innings from Moeen

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Timely dismissal that

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Interesting to see what Foakes' approach here

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What the hell was that?

 

[MW1304]

Good Lord we're not even going to make 200.

 

[fredfertang]

Looked like it might be about 120 when I got home anyway

 

[wpdavid]

Good Lord we're not even going to make 200.

I think we'd better get used to this when we're up against anyone that's somewhere above mediocre. Crap, aren't we?
