**May b we’ll have a result here
**
With his 21st test century Chanderpaul has pushed his test average into the 50s
That puts him in the top bracket of test batsmen who average 50+ after playing 100 odd tests.
Whats more he needs a mere 45 runs to overtake Viv’s 8540 and become West Indies second highest run scorer after Lara
He is a much under-rated batsman partly because of his crabby batting technique, partly because he keeps a low profile

**England lost the 4th wicket earlier 2day ..........
but Prior n pietersen are in control now .... they are scoring runs at marvelous rate ....... over 6 runs per over ......
Lead is now over 200

Re: West Indies v England 5th Test @ Port of Spain, Trinidad
*100 runs partnership b/w these 2 ......... in just 13.3 overs ...... with run rate of 7.40

Re: West Indies v England 5th Test @ Port of Spain, Trinidad
**Prior gone … but after makin 61 orm 49 balls … :k:
lead is now 209 wid 71 overs left in the day
**Harmison passes on “the message” to Pietersen about the declaration. Interestingly, Stuart Broad is sprinting out to the middle … so it’s obviously going to happen quite quickly. Harmison is now relaying a message from KP to Strauss who looks a little confused!
Eng don't want to lose the series so they definitely want a result, WI would be happy with a draw. Let's see.

**i think pietersen is waiting for his century …
he is on 90 at the moment

Re: West Indies v England 5th Test @ Port of Spain, Trinidad
I guess his century is more important than winning the match. He should have declared already and give his bowlers a chance just before lunch. WI won't bother chasing 230+ runs in 65 overs.

Re: West Indies v England 5th Test @ Port of Spain, Trinidad

Re: West Indies v England 5th Test @ Port of Spain, Trinidad
Eng lead by 239 runs at lunch. Eng might declare over lunch period.
Re: West Indies v England 5th Test @ Port of Spain, Trinidad
**England declared … All 3 results are possible …

Re: West Indies v England 5th Test @ Port of Spain, Trinidad
Chris Gayle is looking utterly chilled in his training top on the balcony. He always looks utterly chilled, of course. The news is the training top ...

**windies lost their 1st wicket
"I've just back the Windies for £5k to win this," says Scott Napier, a man with more money than sense. "Easy target, even a pub cricket team fielding 10 women could get this run chase." Here's Swann

Re: West Indies v England 5th Test @ Port of Spain, Trinidad
WIndies need 210 runs in 57.2 overs, with a phatta wicket they should be able to pull it, but then pressure .....
