    Jump!

    ... Can't get there.

    Where's Peter Crouch when you need him? Blackwood just clears Jimmy Anderson at mid-off.

    Another four.

    Everything going West Indies way. This is very dangerous now for England. If they don't get a wicket in the next 20 minutes then it might just be a game over.

  3. WI 158-4published at 50.2 overs

    Jermaine Blackwood will be able to dine out on this knock for a long time. A full toss from Wood is put away to the boundary now.

    It's slipping away.

    At least Archer is mixing up his length and does not just keep bowling short.

    On the Dom Bess point: he has bowled just 10 overs today. When he did bowl earlier the batsman seemed to be able to hit him freely for singles.

    That'll be a big disappointment if the spinner doesn't take a wicket on the final day.

    Argh. England can't afford many more loose deliveries. This is too wide from Archer and Blackwood hits the ball to the fence.

    Fewer than 50 needed now.

    Why are we not seeing more of Dom Bess on a turning pitch? Lack of trust from Stokes?

    Two wickets here and England will be back to being favourites. But they'll be ruing those earlier chances.

  10. WI 149-4published at 49 overs

    Target 200

    The ball that resulted in that review is roughly how England are trying to get Blackwood out.

    They have just one slip and a gully plus a ring field. Wood is trying to get the ball onto Blackwood's pads or stumps but there's not a lot of help from this slow pitch.

    Good decision by Richard Kettleborough.

  12. Not outpublished at 16:32 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Yup. It was missing by a fair way.

    You can't really blame Stokes for going for it.

    It looks to be going down the leg side but you never know. Jermaine Blackwood is the batsman.

    A little high perhaps. Or just brushing the leg stump. Desperate times for England. Could be an umpire's call. Just didn't feel right for some reason.

  15. England reviewpublished at 16:31 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    England have three reviews left so they may as well go for this.

    I wouldn't hold out much hope.

    You can't afford to be too leg side these days. Batsmen are able to put those away for singles. That explains the lack of maidens.

    That's the first maiden since the 17th over.

    Does anyone still believe England can do it? You're a pessimistic bunch.

    Not many runs but no scares since tea.

    At the beginning of the day, I predicted West Indies to win by 5 wickets not long after tea. Now in the win-win position of either being right, or being delighted to be made to look very silly.

    If you tell yourself it's over it won't hurt as much, right?
