Push on in the morning to try and get 300 in front, then hope Broad can pull off another 8 for 15 or something. Cardassia would smash it no bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If England give it some humpity then 300 after an hour would leave 73+15 overs given time lost in the Test, achievable for both positive results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s another great test. No idea which team is favourite at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 For all that England were positive yesterday, it wasn't all that easy to score quickly. I can't see them declaring with any less than 270-280 of a lead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised given how stodgy it was last night, but another 10-15 minutes of this then they can declare and have the Windies in batting before 12 noon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 England have to declare by 11.50 imo, give the Windies an hour before lunch to get through, especially if they want to get the second new ball for the last few overs in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I think that declaration is 3 overs late, if I'm honest. Windies have no chance of winning from here, so they're going to take no risks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Windies need 312 to win with 85 overs to get through. Think England could have chucked it a couple of overs back and would still have plenty of runs to spare. I think that target is far too high for the Windies to think they can win it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Maturin Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 That lad Stokes might have a future in the game if he works at it. Dom Bess really isn't very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
