Butter still getting away with it?
I can’t see what he brings to the team.
Obsession that a Gilchrist is in Buttler somewhere. Would like to have seen them look at Foakes again in a summer that doesn't seem to be offering easy runs. Thought he had a bit of a raw dealOn Buttler if baffles me how he gets in the side he isn’t even a very good keeper, I would go back to Bairstow.
Sibley batting like a Test opener should. Grind it out.
Winds me up. The second innings was literally the scenario that Buttler was in for and he failed again. If he was the best keeper I’d make a case for him, but he’s not even the second best keeper in the 30 man squad.Obsession that a Gilchrist is in Buttler somewhere.

Its noticeable that this innings seems really slow but in reality its a run rate that would have been a regular occurrence 15 years ago.That’s the thing. Since the introduction of T20 we seem to have wanted test openers to hit run-a-ball 50s and the like. Good patient batting and accumulation is the answer.

Surely they can give it a go now. Bowling doesn't look that dangerous and there's potentially a rain interrupted day tomorrow. They're in danger of not giving themselves enough time to bowl them out twice.Would be nice to see one of those "stokes" afternoon sessions now
Still a pitch doing things. Turning, odd dodgy bounce. Still feel it's a Windies batting lineup that can fold with early wickets.Surely they can give it a go now.

No play today, umpires have called it. Forecast is better tomorrow, 2 days to get 19 wickets.
When we missed the follow on thought we'd blown it. Great performance today, apart from the one review we should have taken did pretty much everything right. Cracking catch to finish off as well.
Hope Stokes is OK. This is a hell of schedule to try and get him to play all the tests this summer. How long has he actually been off the field for in this test?
500 Test wickets some achievement. A shame it's not in front of a packed house.
