Windies showing good form with the ball thus far. Eng 155-8...weather is ideal for swing bowling tbh...Anderson in his glee

WI doing good but I'll wait to see them bat one session before rejoicing. We all know the best swing bowler in the world is Anderson and Archer and Wood will be bringing the 90+MPH heat.

Anyone notice how many wrong decisions the British umpires gave AGAINST the West Indies today?

It looked like they were t'iefing for England to win.

No neutral umpires in this series due to C-19.

And given how much swing I see being conjured out of that track, looks like this match will have plenty lbw appeals. Rain also still a decisive factor in the upcoming days.

Proabaly b/c there is so much more white ball than red ball cricket I didn't realize how shiet Shai Hope is in Tests.

He averages 27 (Daren Ganga territory) as opposed to 52 in ODIs.

WI all out for 318 (a lead of 114). Something like 16 overs left today. Let's see what happens

You were so right. He did tear into them - gently.

He used the word "perception" to soften the blow somewhat.

Last day will be most interesting.

True. I wonder what the BCA president has to say about Simmo now?

How come the tv labels Gabriel as fast-medium when he bowls 89 kph?

is this discrimination of some kind?

This is what umpires do not do any more in test matches:

Excellent win by West Indies!
Last time we won the first match of an overseas series was maybe against South Africa back in 2008.....excluding Bangladesh tours.

Let's see if we can win a series in England for the first time since '88.

Really puts in perspective that even with Ambrose, Walsh and Lara we couldn't win there.

So someone impersonated the CMO or the CMO's office and allegedly sent false information about the government's ability to host CPL according to C-19 protocols to the CPL executive.

Rowley doing damage control.

Only thing is he did not blame Kamla (as yet) but the implication was really there.

My concern is how do we know this is true (in an election campaign) other than Rowley saying so?
