    Archer looks very ordinary. Might be different with a crowd behind him?

    Or just relies on his pace to get that quick ball in which hasn't happened!

    The West Indies will know him well too of course.

    I must admit I like it when the West Indies are good at cricket. It just seems right.

    Can our batsmen hold it together or collapse?

    Reckon they will skittle us for 150-180.

    They look a decent team to me.

    Bad decision to bat first is what has lost us that match, sorry Ben Stokes not a good start as captain.

    It was overcast yesterday though. Root said he would probably have bowled.

    Great innings by Stokes to set up the chance to win and the bowlers have started well.

    Just been reading about the curtailed County Championship (named after Bob Willis) to be played this season, starting August 1st, with three regionalised groups. There was no mention of this being televised - if not, what's the point?

    I wonder if anyone has taken a wicket from their own end apart from Jimmy Anderson?

    Kraig Braithwaite has been the 500th wicket for Broad and Anderson now.

    Well done England on winning the series, but big thanks to the West Indies for agreeing to come over and play in it. You took our minds off Covid and Watford for a while.

    Interesting contrast between cricket and football on the use of technology. It works well in cricket and adds to the TV experience. I love watching LBW reviews where they check the front foot, then snicko, then ball tracker, and the audio that goes with it - it all adds to the excitement. Contrast that to the shambolic way we have implemented VAR in this country. Even allowing for some subjective decision making in football over fouls that you don't get in cricket, it doesn't seem to have had the positive impact everyone expected.

    Ireland 28-5. 3 wickets in 6 balls. This isn't going to last very long.

    Just saw this one.

    Isn't the point:
    1. To ensure that players 'keep their hand in' with red ball cricket?
    2. Hopefully, to allow some county members to attend red ball cricket if easing of restrictions allows in due course.

    Hardly any of the County Championship is televised in a normal season, of course.
