Windies have to get parity because batting last on this wicket is going to be a very interesting task.

Can’t believe the turnaround from yesterday at 8 down.

Need to keep the pressure on and get a 50 lead

Those 90 runs for the last wicket could be, er, "massive".

These two looked settled need a magic bowl from someone.

Seems like the pitch is unplayable when the ball is about 10-40 overs old and then it becomes easy to bat.

Mahmood bowled well he should be given a bit of a run now in the side! First time I’ve seen a n England bowler do 3 Yorkers on the trot.

the ball does not last and goes soft after 40 overs
so you need to clean them up and take all 10 wickets before the 40 over mark

One thing for certain if sing going go be a draw unless it rains!

If will depend on our opening batsman getting runs because anything more than 60 runs and we in deep shit.

Good Test this one. Some balls keeping low and others sticking, but there’s something for everyone if they apply themselves. Should be a fascinating next few days and hope we get the full five.

Overton even managed to hit the batsmen three times. Partly surprised them, but also extracted lift and bounce . Good tactical change. Root or coaches?
