Well, any chance of play today you would say is remote. Heavy overnight rain, and currently still relentless. The forecast has meant that the draw is 4/1 ON - so, unless something spectacular happens, we could end this series on a damp squib unfortunately. |

Cheap wicket that Cookie gave away, not normally like him. Was quite looking forward to a decent innings from him. :thumbdown: |

Very interestingly poised for me tomorrow...provided the rain holds off. Get your prayer mats out folks. |

The match, I expect will slowly grind towards a draw - I can't really see a result apart from that. The word on the grapevine is that Vaughan is to stand down as one-day captain, with possibly Collingwood or Pietersen as ODI captain for England. Would love to see Pietersen have a go at captaincy - this maybe is a bit early for him, but I'm sure he would be a motivational captain without any shadow of a doubt. |

Had an absolutely superb day. Weather was good, and a brilliant hundred on home turf from the man who could well be our next one day captain. |

Looked a tad sparse in the crowds according to the TV cameras on the highlights show. Good 100 from Colly - bit chancy early on when he was batting with Bell, but pleased he made his ton on home turf :thumbup: Personally, I suspect KP will be our next one-day captain, but we shall see. |

Lunch 131/4 - WI lead by 18 runs with 6 wickets remaining. The Met Office show the weather as staying fine. I think England need to bowl the Windies out by tea, by which time their lead may be about 120-150 runs - that gives England 40 overs or so to knock the runs off. Game on IMO - the odds have England at 2/1, Windies at 200/1, and the draw 11/4 ON. PS - Get Monty on!! :P |

Not there today (couldn't be bothered after yesterday, plus its coooold). Still a good chance of an England win here, but everything hinges on whether or not we can get rid of Chanderpaul. |

Harmy has bowled absolutely superbly today with no reward...until now, when Powell has just basically thrown his wicket away. Famous last words and all, but I can only see one result now! |

England 4/1 ON West Indies 66/1 Draw 11/4 I suppose that a Windies win is more likely than it was before - especially more likely than a draw now! :P |

9 down, and Chanderpaul needs to basically slog as many as he can now I think - or retain the strike!! :P |

These last two (Chanderpaul and Stan Collymore :P ) are at it again - partnership already worth 22. |

110 to win. I make that almost 18 HOURS (1,075 mins) since Chanderpaul was dismissed previously. :| Another five-fer for Monty as well :thumbup: |
