That's my kind of stat.
Ben Stokes finds the gap he was after, clipping the ball excellently through mid-wicket.

Ben Stokes is chuntering to himself. I think he's getting a little frustrated at his failure to pick gaps. He nails an on-drive straight to the fielder.
Umpire Michael Gough, Hartlepool's third most famous celebrity after a monkey and Jeff Stelling, is getting a bit twitchy about Alzarri Joseph running down the pitch.

Jason Holder doesn't do a lot wrong. This was a clanger...

I like the idea of 'a Harmison' being a unit of measurement recognised around the world.
There must be other sporting examples?

Shannon Gabriel has just bowled one to second slip! That has hurt Jason Holder too when he took the catch.
The morale of the story? Don't drop an edge off big Shannon.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI think Jason Holder will be disappoined with the intensity. There have been some fumbles in the field. I don't think the West Indies have quite been at it like they were a week ago.

You've got to say West Indies have been poor today. They have been below their standards of the first Test.
A misfield from John Campbell allows Sibley to take three. Did he get a bad bounce? Maybe.

It should have been a wicket-taking return for Shannon Gabriel. He didn't have much to say to his captain as he jogged past at the end of the over.
The good news is Gabriel didn't looked too hampered by injury in his comeback over. He does now look like he might combust, mind.

Is this the first thing Jason Holder has done wrong all series? He should have taken this catch at second slip.
He doesn't even get a hand on it. The ball goes straight through onto his midriff.

Shannon Gabriel is now going to have his first bowl after hobbling off earlier.
He starts with a beauty.
Eng 161-3published at 65 overs
Alzarri Joseph is throwing the ball up full and trying to swing the ball back in. Every now and again one moves a decent amount and for a second Stokes looks like he could be in trouble. So far the Durham all-rounder has got his bat onto all of them.

Ben Stokes is good, isn't he?
