This is going to have to be a seriously good second half to the innings.

This is not a bad pitch at all. We need these two to keep batting well.

Buttler gone that is not good at all. We need Stokes to turn up with the bat.

If we can keep our heads then we could get a reasonable target here.

That slower ball bouncer is a hell of a ball to have in your armoury as a bowler.

So that's the H&V posting equivalent of the commentators curse.

Just as I start to think Willey was on to something he gets out. It's all my fault.

there is no sport other than cricket where the toss is so important. England have won the toss 4 times in the last 17, Darren Sammy has won the last 10 on the Trot.

Great catch by Badree but looks like he dislocated his shoulder.

They've been so good in the field today.

They've been like we were against NZ. We need a miracle from here.

Its a defendable total so our spinners need to be in the groove,
