England v West Indies 3rd test

Pietersen now opening up and looking to take on the Windies bowlers. Some really amazing shots already. 191/2 and WI look out of sorts. Fielding, catching and bowling has hit nadir for Windies. Chanderpaul got the ball to turn and bounce. Monty must be itching to bowl.

Bravo to Pietersen, OUT, hit wicket, what an unusual dismissal. A sharp bouncer took Pietersen totally by surprise - but not a quick ball - knocking his helmet off which then fell on to his stumps. Pietersen didn't connect with the sticks themselves, but as the bails were dislodged by the lid, he's gone interesting

Alistair Cook brings up his 6th. Test century before falling to Chris Gayle for 106. England's lead has passed the 400 mark.
This Alistair Cook chap seems like a good prospect for England. With Strauss and Trescothick also vying for opening spot seems England have a embarassment of riches or sorts. xx

Windies will rue their first innings collapse... If only they had touched 300 then, things would have looked brighter for them. And making 150 runs with 5 wickets in hand isnt that far-fetched in modern day cricket, but with only Sammy , taylor, edwards and collymore left there is not a lot of hope for the Windies. Its upto Chanderpaul and Ramdin...

KP's dismissal was unlike any other dismissal I have seen in cricket. Quite freakish. WI showed a lot of character to bat the way they did today. Still a tall ask to get the remaining runs. This Sammy guy seems to be decent and uses his height to good advantage. But then again, we have seen some impressive debuts from WI pacers in the recent past only for them to go off the boil and drift away into oblivion. Example: Franklin Rose.
