Yep concentration lacking. Also this pitch is starting to play very dodgy...very uneven bounce. glorious drive from TH

Alzarri Joseph to Head, 3 runs, nicely played! Pitched up outside off, Head shows the full face of the bat and drives it past mid-off. Brathwaite after it and shows some good footwork as he keeps the ball in play with his right boot before going beyond the ropes. Saves a run for his side

Jayden Seales to Webster, FOUR, crunched! 135.6kph length ball and room on offer, Webster reaches out to it and punches it crisply through cover-point. The fielder in the deep moves to his right but has no chance to stop it

43.6
Jayden Seales to Head, FOUR, brilliant shot! Fullish ball shaping in from round the wicket and around off, Head leans towards it and creams the drive past the right side of mid-on to get the desired result

Jomel Warrican, Left arm orthodox, comes into the attack

Spin and it's Jomel Warrican for the first time in the Test - a slip and a short mid-on in place

Warrican to Head, FOUR, to deep extra cover

Justin Greaves to Head, FOUR, beautifully played, overpitched and wide of off - Head leans into the drive and finds the gap wide of cover, the timing is sublime and the ball races away, fifties in both innings, his 20th in Tests

Shamar Joseph to Head, out Lbw!! That's a celebappeal and Head has been given OUT LBW, he doesn't wait and starts walking back to the pavilion. Head will feel very unlucky here, came back from a length and skidded onto the left-hander - stayed devilishly low and Head didn't have a chance, was caught in the crease and was struck bang in front of off-stump, that'd have been crashing into the middle-stump and West Indies have broken through.

I don't believe in banning speech nor do I support sexual abuse but allegations are allegations.
So, why is the scum allowed to come on this forum with his "assertions; why ???

My brother some of us have serious insecurity issues. We come on this board to get much needed therapy.

Shamar Joseph to Carey, no ball, FOUR uppish, but Carey has crashed it through cover-point, full and wide of off - Carey leans into the drive and scythes it through the gap between the two fielders, races away to the ropes- it's a no-ball as well
