Summing up

So this Test has been a long old slog, frustratingly lacking in actual long slogs (Ben Stokes apart), but we may yet have a tasty finish tomorrow. England have a lead from which they could conceivably carve out a competitive target for West Indies, but conditions, the pitch and captains’ fear of defeat make the draw still the likelier result. The players must be knackered too, but you never know with Test cricket. And here’s hoping for a bit of adventure and unpredictability. Thanks for reading and commenting – now run away and enjoy the rest of your weekends. Bye.
