I don't like this rule.

It is a bit of a strange rule in the current climate where tests last 3 to 4 days.. don't suppose holder will be too upset as the series is done and dusted but if it had been 1-1 it would have meant a lot to WI..

It's meant to enrich the spectators enjoyment ie more overs in a day but if the home team loses its captain and best player I don't see the logic.

Jennings recalled and denly to bat 3??
Oh dear.

Could be at least three wickets down before lunch then...

No faith in bairstow at 4.
Be playing 11 batsman soon and still not make 200.

There is talk of Bairstow dropping down the order a bit.
Whether that means Root at 4, Bairstow 5 and Butler 6 with Stokes 7 I don't know but either way, someone in that top 3 has got to score some runs and hang in there till the second session, otherwise we will be panicking and hitting out as per usual

Ali at 8 Curran at 9 broad at 10 and still get bowled out for 200.

England will bat......

England's opening batting is woeful, and very lucky not to be four down by now

Surely the last time we will see Jennings or denly

Lower order and bowlers have been saving England for a few years now but look at the bowling for a minute. Broad and Anderson are close to the end and there's no obvious replacements.

England's game right now depends on Root and three all rounders

Stokes is leading a charmed life

Another dreadful collapse

Dismal.. playing like this the Aussies will murder us

Windies trying very hard to avoid the blackwash

Series over England show some game.

Great spell from Wood, rockets

Superb bit of pace bowling from wood..
Now, lets see if the batsmen can do their job and set this up for victory..
I missed a lot of the early play due to the darts but looking forward to watching the highlights for once

This will be a huge England win.
It's one extreme or the other with them

Windies way behind in the game, best player banned and a bowler down.
Even England can't lose this.

Give them a chance mate
