467/7 - Prior gone for 39. Collingwood 83*

482/7 at tea.

500 up, Broad just smashing a big 6 and looking very comfortable.
We should be declaring and having at least 45 minutes bowl at these tonight...I fancy they will be ripe for a couple of wickets - come on Jimmy!!

Don't think so 534-8

Have they had a full days play up to now??? I don't know and don't have access to a tele right now......

If so, they had 92 overs yesterday and have declared after 165 , which should leave about 20 odd to play with now. Plenty of time for some wickets today.....

Circa 14 overs tonight for West Indies to bat.

Plenty.

The balls doing allsorts but catching the edge, jumping, keeping low etc. Gayle must have had half a dozen scares like.

Gayle, Gooooooooone as Athers says, playing an expansive drive, he's been playing his shots, hit a six, four etc.

Darren Powell in as night watchman.

Windies close on 55 for 1. End of day 2.

England need to bowl the Windies out before lunch, and enforce the follow-on. Should be all over by tea.

Pitch starting to misbehave a little now, whether it will do enough to bowl WI out twice I am not sure though.

As always with the Windies, Chanderpaul and Sarwan are the key to holding the innings together now Gayle has gone. As long as England don't get obsessed with banging it in halfway down the pitch and get the batsmen coming forward to play shots, the variations in the pitch will do the rest as they did with Flintoff.

am i right in thinking that harmison was dropped for the 2nd test but now a couple of days later hes playing. is this to do with the pitch and whos been dropped for him

Yes, and Sidebottom in that order.

The pitch at the ARG offers a bit more for the taller bowler who bangs it in a bit. England also made a change in Swann for Panesar to strengthen the lower order batting expecting the pitch to be a beast.

Chanderpaul still playing

WI 130-3

Sarwan & Chanderpaul in now, this is the game right here.

Is it not Sarwan and Hinds batting now??
132-3 at lunch

Yes, according to the Beeb. Hinds seems to have come in ahead of both Chanderpaul and Nash.

Emily Prior is gutted.

285 all out! A fivefor for Swann.

England decide to bat again, I would imagine until lunch time tomorrow and get a quick 100+ and give the bowlers a little rest.

Day 3 close - England 31 for 1, 312 ahead.

Allen Stanford out for a duck, clean bowled by the SEC.

It is the 2nd innings remember. The bowlers will be batting before lunch
