Ah Belly, should have just farmed the strike a bit longer, was there to be hit mind just didn't get over the top of it. Shame we didn't get past 400 which looked a certainty a few overs a go.

Good catch in the deep. Overall the Windies have done well today to restrict England to sub-400 (just) but even then you'd say that this is close to done and dusted as a contest.

just started watching and these young lads look like sitting ducks. got absolutely no presence with broad towering over 'em. need someone with a bit of swagger and a straight spine...

Wow what the ****. What kind of delivery is that? That's absurd.

Seriously. Is it possible to even contemplate playing a useful shot against a ball like that?

**** me play that if you can.

I wonder how many times Powell will have even played against anything like this.

Just didn't look/sound right live tbh. ****ing hell Anderson is producing some ridiculous balls atm though.

It's as if Anderson is bowling with one of those half and half training balls you mess around with in the nets. He's getting such prodigious swing, almost too much.

So what does everyone think about Gabriel? would look to see him move the ball away from the right handers and that would really even out his arsenal, he can bowl nice and straight which is good and he can swing it in which is also good but all in all i think he done ok, didn't give much runs away which is a bonus for a pacer these days, tbh i thought he would fail but he's done much better than the last few pacers to debut under Gibbo i'e Pascal and Russell.
