Edwards has done this before once against India, survived around 10 overs to draw the match.
 
The fact that it is going to the wire just shows Eng got it wrong at the end of Day 3 sending in Anderson as night watchman and their approach at the start of Day 4.

Thats if Windies hold out...
 
if it is 11 overs left then looks like slow over rate. Eng should pay the penalty as official closing time was 8 minutes ago
 
I can see England resorting to some 'cheap shot / unsporting' tactic to get the final wkt.

Anything possible with Collingwood on the pitch
 
Why arent Windies batsman changing their gloves? :)

9.5 overs left...

or fall down and claim twisted ankle or strain/cramp. They just ran for 2 and could have done it there
 
What tension.

Meanwhile, there are those crying over 'why Afridi was dropped'

This is cricket at its best!

Or excuse themselves and go to the bathroom. :younis
 
Ive been bursting to go to the loo for the last hour!!

Unmissable stuff.
 
Freddie Flintoff coming onto bowl!

Says it all when Harmison is replaced by a guy who is playing thatnks to cortizone!

HAHAHA!!! Change of bat!
 
Flintoff coming on?! This could be a blunder from Strauss if WI are offered light.
 
Stanford's $20 Million Dollar Tamasha can't match this for drama !

Anyone got a link ?
 
Waqar-style yorker from Freddie!

A beauty!

Powell survives - just

Getting DARK!
 
Really getting dark now...
- cricinfo and 7.3 overs left and we are 21 minutes pass the closing time
 
7 overs to go

Whatever happens - what guts from Windistan
 
I was for England to win half hour ago but now I want a draw for the slow over-rate. Making players bat in the dark now. Game should have been over 10 min ago. it is 28 minutes past the scheduled closing time
 
Umpires are chatting about the light with Strauss. No more pace allowed. Pietersen, therefore, is into the attack. I think he might self-combust if he gets a wicket - cricinfo
 
Interesting technique from Powell, almost lying down on top of the ball.
 
Umpires too afraid to call it a day as English media will be on them tomorrow.

127.4 Swann to Powell, no run, a full toss which is absolutely hammered into Pietersen. He's down. Is he out? He looks in huge pain...looks like he's bust a finger I'm afraid.

What effect did the late start have on that? The over rate didn't look that slow.
 
Umpires getting together again, WI must feel pretty confident at this stage.

What a terrible declaration that was from Strauss.

LIGHT OFFERED!!! WI WIN!!!! its like a win anyway
 
Great test match. Cracking final day and a wonderful effort from the Windies! They should be very proud!
 
Great game. Those England fans who changed their flights and stayed on in Antigua got their money's worth.
