Feels like the first decent (i.e. competitive) test match we've had for ages. Really enjoyed it and very pleased that Windies have shown some fight although I'd be surprised if England didn't wrap it up by tea.
In other underdog news Bangladesh have a great chance of beating Australia who have been set 265 to win, a really tough 4th innings target.
Nathan Lyon now has 247 wickets, the second highest Australian spinner, a great effort
Just for the record, Lyon has 256, Benaud took 248.

in the style of ooahmortimer, at 12.40 with the Windies on 70-2, I'd say the odds are:
England 45% Windies 30% Draw 25%
More like. England 75% Windies 15% Draw 10%
Based on current in-play odds
England 62% Windies 10% Draw 28%
If I'd had seen them then I'd have placed more money than KR has to spend this week. Odds on a WIndies win imo. I'd say now
windies 60 england 20 draw 20
Stay patient golfi one more wicket could trigger a collapse plus we have a second new ball later in the day
But only have 16 overs left to bowl with it. Thats why I think Root missed a trick. Once Ali was out yesterday Briaf & Woakes spent around 10-12 overs basically defending & picking up 2-3 runs an over. Just needed 3 or 4 big overs & could have declared with the same amount of runs but then have 12 overs at the end of yesterday instead of the 6 they eventually had.

It's like he's got ADHD.
