That's how he plays stuart broad leg side of it waiting for the short ball and he's pulled it away all the way for six. He's a dangerous batsman. He's underachieved of late but he can score quickly 293-8.

Full delivery, he's dangerous broad as he and bishop said you go for that and you get it wrong you'll get punished.

Yep big gap down to third man for four.

What's that another four don't bang the ball in ball normally.

Well, well, you'll just have a go at everything. Absolutely the right approach from broad.

That's gone straight up but much too straight for anyone a deep backward square or fine leg to get involved. That length just offers so many options for broad at that pace if you're 90 odd miles an hour that's different.

That's gone straighter this time for four.

You're really trying to get around you won't well no one would have stopped that.

Swings leg side and it swings it away for four. That's 50 for stuart broad it's been a while 50 off just 33 deliveries eight fours and one six.

Or through they're looking sloppy now should have only be a single and it's gone for four.

Swept away there is that man? And he takes the catch a low full toss and broad has found him perfectly.

Edged and all dropped. Yeah, that's a big drop came at a nice catchable height to stokes you can see the frustration on both his and anderson's face.

Shot attractive player doesn't quite hang around long enough. There's some nice shots.

Again nice shot from Campbell.

Again a lovely shot. It's three boundaries now campbell a bit of a loosener from woke back of the length and campbell swatted it away off the back foot.

Squirted away through gully the outfield is slow archer is quick and has run away for four.

Played this game before andrew strauss. Right on cue brilliant from strauss up here main man archer has number two for England. Yeah, pulling 90 miles an hour of a guy's lunging forward at you, you know You've got to make him think that the shortfall is coming and he got it bang on.

Oh, he's giving him and he's reviewed it immediately

West Indies went for review and retained that review 

Umpire voice “Okay pitching in line Impact his umpire's call and missing the stumps”

There's no inside edge it must be tight. Fingers gone up doesn't look like roston chase is going to have a chat with jermaine blackwood. More success for stuart broad huge smile on his face.

England got 5^th wicket of Rostan Chase goes for 9. It was Board got them break through

Sweetly timed just chipped it really but uh chipped it right out of the middle of the bat.

No mention that holder does get across his stumps.

England went for a review and they lost that review 

Umpire voice “Okay, pitching outside off impacting line and missing the stumps”

Yeah, as it often is from blackwood fielding in the circle you get a catch anywhere off him, but he pierces the gap picks up a boundary moves to 15.

Lovely terrific shot from jermaine blackwood down the ground it's going to be a good battle this over the next few minutes between blackwood and archer 101-5.

He's got something about him this lad fair play at the west indies sticking with him bringing him back in he went off and got first class runs a shed load and you can see why.

The nip backer from woakes full delivery that perfect when someone's staying leg side of the ball.

England got 6^th wicket of Blackwood goes for 26. It was Woakes got them break through

That's the way the getting off your account full swinging delivery he's just belted for four.

Six over every spell he get Archer. He's down to third man for four.

And another with pitch half volley holder moves on to 15.

And another he plays it softly.

It's a thumping shot brings four at the end of the 45th over it's 132-6.

Oh, he's in the air is it gonna be caught Oh! He's all over the place and gets away with it 136-6.

Struck again, I think he's having a torrid time there.

We're going to go off the field for bad light. Get up into the changing rooms, you know, it's dark i'm, not sure that we'll get back on the field. In fact that's official the close of players the ground staff bring on the covers and get prepared for sprucing this pitch up 137-6 the west indies trailing by 232.
