West Indies [427 & 322/5] beat England [258 & 490/8d] by five wickets at Leeds, equalise series 1-1

Oh Braithwaite! Surely the of the WI batsmen can muster up 100-odd in a session without losing 7 wickets after showing such resilience?

Chappells were probably last pair to hit a pair of hundreds in same match.

This'll be a bigger loss (after declaring) than Lord's '84 or Chennai (if so, I still has every bit of confidence in this WI side to snatch defeat for the jaws of victory).

Did Misbah and Azhar do it?
 
These two need to get things going post tea. With Brathwaite's wicket, the chase looks like a far cry.
 
Tea on Day 5 and all outcomes are possible. Sign of a good Test.
 
What a match this has been. Think Brathwaite's wicket has tilted things in ENG'a favour :(
 
Enthralling test.

Problem is that there have been so many drops, that I'm not sure either team deserves to win. Don't support England over WI, but WI have fielded like they don't want to win.

Still, I want WI to be aggressive until the new ball (should've sent holder or blackwood to strike the old ball).

Anything over 50 in 16 new ball overs, it's smart for Chase to bat out for a draw (if he's there).
 
As I thought even though WI showed promise and have shown they have some talent to work with, ultimately I think they will still choke like in previous chases. 322 is still 322 and they might buckle under pressure esp with Brathwaite gone.

The drops did em in.
 
West Indies are going to win.

Should be a good deciding match at Lords.
 
What's the odds of Shannon Gabriel to hit the winning runs with Fazeer on commentary ?

Was it Fazeer singing on TMS during the tea interval :))) And am playing it cool, can't get out the mitai just yet :mv
 
Match is clearly gone. England have not got the firepower to take 7 Windies wickets for less than 100 runs on this pitch. It is a good batting pitch to be fair - the match was probably won and lost on the first day, with a brilliant performance from the Windies bowlers limiting England to 268.
 
Does not look as if WI is trying to win the Match !!!!!!!! They are trying not to loose !!!!!
 
Hope has gone into a shell with Chase not doing much either. Backwood should have been the one to come out.

If they can reach in a position of 7 wickets at hand at the start of 2nd ball, I think even 60 in 7/8 overs is no big deal. They are playing perfectly to take defeat out of equation.
 
Just seen Markhor in the crowd :)) this Caribbean gentleman been coming to these Test matches for decades in England bah gawd will the wait finally end
 
Decent contingent of Caribbean fans in the ground.

Not like the old days though when The Oval in South London was home away from home for West Indians.
 
Stokes choking in the field. Ridiculous throw and its 4 overthrows :))
 
Will they get all these overs in?! I hope so, England will try every dirty trick in the book
 
Its never over.. so far Brilliant fight from WI. I still feel there are lots of runs left..Eng needs to bowl Moeen with one end
 
Right, this passage of play will be critical - Blackwood likes to tee off.

If he stays for 30-40 mins this match could be over - England will want him out quickly.
 
Blessing in disguise.

Blackwood can score fast. All it needs is a quick fire 30 and WI will be home.

Holder + Dowrich should be able to knock off 20 odd runs.

Not to forget Hope is still there batting.

Still WI game to lose or draw.
 
Chase was already shaken by previous Anderson over ..knew he 'll be done. Lots depend on Holder. Good Luck Windies I want them to win but I doubt they ll go over the line:uak
 
Some blind hacks here. Find the gaps and keep rotating strike yaar, don't waste balls.
 
Where is Adil Rashid when you need him :facepalm: wish he was bowling right now :mv
 
I would give another couple of overs to Moeen.. New ball WI ll score quick runs
 
wow never thought Windies come this close. actually opened Cricbuzz to check how big the margin is. Come-on Windies.
 
No one gives a damn about scoring hundreds in both innings at headingley, so chup ! @ the rasclat commies. Winning the game is more important :mv
 
15 overs left and England could still take 6 wickets in 5 overs. Absolutely wonderful batting by Hope/Brathwaite.

If WI lose them it's the fielders.
 
England - Can't win in Asia, struggles to win even at home, loses test match against west indies at home lol
 
What a bloody innings, take a bow Shai Hope. Take your team over the finish line.
 
Brilliant from Sai Hope. Not celebrating 100 as he knows he ll celebrate when WI wins tells the mentality of a player..great to see.

Who'd have thought it'd be England's drops that'd cost them the match ?

Cook dropped Brathwaite early in this innings.
 
Broad knows he can't shout at Cook. And now that cook's not captain, he looks vulnerable and very embarrassed.
