Stokes gone! Roach gets him. 

[Austin 3:!6]

Ben Stokes out.

[Stan AF]

Nice line through the gap. Well bowled.

[Austin 3:!6]

WI,, Pakistan, SL everyone plays better than us in England. Our batsmen becomes like Rabbit caught in headlights facing Dukes here.

Oh/.. Great grab from the big man. That was fast.

[Stan AF]

Holder/Gabriel should step up and take a wicket or two.

[Stan AF]

Damn. runout missed.

[coffee_rules]

Cricinfo is down

[Clarke]

That Stokes dismissal was really well executed. His bat pad gap precisely punched through by Roach. 

After Burns gave away, Pope John Paul has got Eng back ahead. Why field first here 

[Stan AF]

After scoring just 65 runs or so in both the sessions, england has already made 70 in this session with 20 overs to go.

[Norman]

Stupid stupid decision to field first again. 

 

Imagine if Kohli had done that 

[sandeep]

Thanks @maniac for not applying his special chumma to Pope, I like watching the kid bat.

[Stan AF]

That looks out.

Damn how is that missing.

Roach to Woakes, OUT

chops on! Roach has 200 Test wickets! Woakes' poor run with the bat continues, but it's a moment to savour for Roach, the first West Indian to reach the landmark since Sir Curtly Ambrose back in 1994. Crooked bat, back-of-a-length ball outside off which he strikes the bottom edge and hits off stump halfway up

CR Woakes b Roach 1 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 12.50

[Norman]

Windies are making it tougher for themselves by picking out England early. 

 

They should just let them bat until rain arrives. 

 

1-1 is always better than 2-1.
