There is really a good chance of WI in this match. Now they should make the most out of it and should turn the tables in their favor. They won't get a better situation of winning this match. If they can't win from here, I am afraid they won't be able to win more matches.

West Indies in a better position to win the match, England is just leading by 170 runs and most probably they will add 30 to 40 runs as they just have 2 wickets left and even if they add those runs it is not a huge total for the last day and hopefully West Indies will go for the win, if they start defending then it is going to be a tricky situation. West Indies needs to play aggressive cricket and win the match from this situation.

It will be an interesting end to this test match as it could go either way but right now England have the upper hand even though the lead is less then 200 runs. I think 180+ will be tough for the WI to chase down but as I have a bet on the WI to win this match I am hoping that they come out and take the last two wickets and then bat aggressive and go for the win but if they lose quick wickets then I think England can win as the WI in the past have shown that they crack under pressure.

West Indies did come back strongly by picking quick wickets towards the end of the days play by picking 5 wickets in just 35 runs and England collapsed again. They really started well and after losing Stokes the wickets continued to fall and now England are only 170 runs ahead and 2 wickets left. I am expecting WI would not have an target above 200 and should be winning it comfortable unless rain interrupts the match.

England will be hoping that the rains saves their day. There batting line up collapsed in both the innings. The shows how the lack of matches and lack of practice could hurt the players. If today WI showed a better performance and won the first test match, it will would be a very good start for them after the pandemic break.

Last day of 1st test and no forecast of rain so far. 40 game points at stake, England need those points badly. Situation looking bit tricky for both teams as game could go anywhere from here.

For England perspective, they would be very happy if they can set target around 200-210 and Windies need to wrap up tail asap.

England : 297/8 .. 183 lead so far

Edit : 9 wicket down lead is now 189 193 runs
Edit: Target 200 runs.

Current situation of pitch is good so I am feeling today West Indies is going to win this match and we are going to watch some very good and entertaining match for next few hours.

Target of 200 runs is easy unless they lose early wickets.

By the way anyone betting on this match. Its time to look at the currents odds.

200 run target can be easily achieved if West Indies batsmen play sensibly. It is not a huge score and therefore the odds have gone down. But, you never know till the match ends anything can happen in cricket.

Brothers Sisters and Fellows just one thing for record no team chased 200 Runs on this ground in last 3 years so please keep in mine before place your bets because in this is very troubled time and keep money in pocket will help you in future.

With the loss of two wickets of West Indies  the bets have completely twisted.



How many twists will come in this match ?

[Haunebu]

As expected, West Indies batting lineup as inconsistent and unpredictable as usual. They played so well in the 1st innings and are 3 down for 27 runs in the 2nd innings which proves my point.

Am expecting England to easily win this one if they can remove Chase early. Archer seems to have regained his form while Anderson will probably continue plucking wickets. West Indies should have bowled well in the 2nd innings.

[Vishnu.Reang]

This is just unbelievable. West Indies struggling at 27/3 and now Shai Hope has gone back to the pavilion. Half of their top order is gone and they still need another 173 runs to win this match. This has happened to West Indies so many times in the past. They have lost matches, where they had an initial advantage. I guess this time also that will be the case. Will Roston Chase be able to build a partnership with Jermaine Blackwood?

Nothing more interesting than an unpredictable match This is the type of game I wanted to see after the long pandemic break. Now ENG has the upper hand as WI are down by 3 wickets. But WI batsmen are unpredictable, so a target of 165 runs is still gettable in 2 sessions.

[Swordsoffreedom]

England gave a lead of more than 200. If west indies wanna win by chasing 200+ runs, they have to play aggressively and if they play aggressively they will lose wickets quickly. At the end of  the day we may see that west indies lose this match. so, IMO, West indies should play only for draw. I think , otherwise the will lose the match.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Update regarding John Campbell's injury: the WICB in an official tweet has informed that he is having his toe iced, and if required he will bat again.

So that means that West Indies are 3 down (and not 4). All that said, it is surprising not to see Ben Stokes bowling to the West Indian batsmen. He has always taken crucial wickets during similar circumstances and if he could get a couple of the Windies batsmen, then they are done here.

[Haunebu]

Jermaine is playing superbly and is batting on 80 and West Indies is inching towards the wining the test match. They now require just 38 runs and 7 wickets in hand. Finally, after all the ups and downs in this test match we have West Indies close to winning it. England would be disappointed that they had a chance to wrap up West Indies quickly after taking 3 quick wickets.

What a match. Initially, I expected Windies to win after their 1st innings lead. Later, I expected England to win after 3 quick wickets. Now, it looks like Windies will win this one quite easily since they have plenty of wickets and overs in hand.

Blackwood literally saved them single-handed you so far and I hope continues to bat till the end. The other batsmen need to continue supporting him from the other end. Exciting match indeed.

Wow, I clearly didn't expect that my words would come true. Blackwood played really well but he has to go now without a century. WI now need 11 runs with 4 wickets in hand. Can ENG work some magic, I'm eager  

Edit: WI won by 4 wickets. Superb effort.

Never thought we would see West Indies winning before the series started as there were no established players in the West Indies line up even though they defeated England in Southampton in the past, really great performance by the West Indies captain Jason Holder who took 6 wickets in the first innings and Shannon Gabriel followed that in the second innings and Blackwood played a good innings with a bit of luck as he was dropped earlier in the innings and overall a good performance by West Indies.

A very interesting test match ends in very good way and better team won by 4 wickets this is purely team effort by them specially Gabriel Holder Blackwood and Chase these was on top for visitors now in next test Root surely coming back but West Indies need this spirit hopefully we will watch another good test with full of fun and entertainment.

[RapTarX]

Not expected at all. I guess England is a way better team than West Indies. I didn't watch the match though; kept some update only. Lucky that I was busy with gambling on soccer onlym Otherwise, I would have lost definitely.
