No shit Sherlock England havent bothered with a warm up game presumably as they would be put on a green top against an attack of medium pacers"

There are not many skipper's who wouldn't have taken off Hartley after a couple of overs in the first innings and not used him again. Hat's off to stokes for that and he reaped the reward in the second.

Magnificent victory that... quite magnificent.... only other victory I can compare to this was the Gatting/Fowler double ton's game and when Neil Foster mopped up.... well done Hartley ... some debut fella *round of applause*

Bugger! Read that as “from slip” not “skip”. My cat has clearly cursed me :)

Pickle... yeah I know he was at mid off!! It was more how the fuck has he thrown down the stumps... it was almost like a back hand flick with power... and it had to travel a fair distance as well... absolutely sensational piece of skill

"I thought Chanderpaul had retired, so I looked it up and it's his son, FMOB well played, Shivnarine. Well batted England but will it be enough, I fear not?"

"Fair play to Hartley, batted well and bowling much better. The problem we have now is Rehan, utter dross."

Every chance they could still lose this test but at least they have made a proper game of it which if nothing else will I'll give them confidence moving forward.

Gem of an innings. But for Foakes’ drop of KLR - England would have won this Test.
