Transcript
00:00yes down the pitch first run tip and run on the offside 90 for three
00:14clipped
00:18won't go for four it shouldn't with the dive does well zari joseph with the fielding
00:24he doesn't miss out on that drive there was one in the previous over that he could have nicked
00:35he's just middle that for four
00:40he's opened the face and the sweeper will be in play
00:4650 partnership comes up between brook and root slower balls in particular
00:55don't lose that and pick that up perfectly just cut away nicely behind square he looks
01:00in really good touch harry brooke moved into the 40s quickly
01:08pulled with control just helped on its way from joe root
01:17well a pull followed by a drive classic from one of england's finest
01:25yeah there is a short ball but as in the previous over
01:31route just keeps it down rolls his wrist takes another boundary on a slow pitch like this
01:40that will be four more exactly the same region a different shot
01:48into the crowd it goes it sails away
01:55so lovely back foot punch and the good stuff down there but it does not stop
02:04harry brooke from getting to his eighth half century
02:13short ball will work it does work it gets to the line of off stump or wider
02:18and it gets high and finally the west indies have the breakthrough
02:24was short it was slightly wide of off stump harry brooke was never in control of the shot
02:31he'll be bitterly disappointed having played so well but the easiest of catches for de silva
02:39only one
02:4450 for joe root
02:48and the very elegant innings from the former england captain
02:55oh yeah he's looked in sweet touch the
03:02there's a beauty absolute ripper from moti landing it in the footholds outside stokes
03:08is off stump big drive and he's actually taking the stump out of the ground little foot mark outside
03:15stokes is off stump and that pitch right in and uh had enough on it to knock that middle stump
03:23out of the ground it gets a nod of approval you can see it curving there
03:32it's a way for runs away from the signal from the umpire and it is off the bat of joe root
03:39to his best and the natural way that he plays
03:43well that's a bit of a gift for jamie smith to score his first test runs and it's a boundary
03:49but everything seems to be in the right place
03:57sweeps fine there's a far too much work to be done as root picks up the boundary
04:06and just like that the ball on the stumps angling towards the legs and he shows us again
04:13the glimpse of the promise that england has seen and we've all seen watching him
04:17play for sorry
04:24lovely and backs it up it's back-to-back boundaries that the better of the two
04:33he's done it again he's got stokes he's got root the captain and the former captain of
04:41england and he's making things talk here today at lords is moti absolute brilliance
04:49any trouble but just that same position looks like an arm ball quicker flatter
04:56great length he tried it a couple of times before once to jamie smith was too short
05:01confident start there from chris rokes it's going down the hill
05:10and yeah give up on that as it gathers pace almost
05:19gets that front leg up nice and high and lara style for the single
05:25just a bit of natural variation as you say
05:31that was a bit of a loosener from alzari joseph who's bowled both ends he's bowled
05:36nursery and pavilion ending you've got to try and adjust your line when you're coming from the
05:40pavilion end rare bad ball he's pulled a couple he gave jamie smith a half tracker to get up and
05:50running and now oh it's good bowling there's only one slit in place because they've got a
06:01catcher on the leg side yeah found the gap this time though he had enough time plenty of time in
06:10fact just to shift the weight onto the back foot and find the gap
06:20it's nice really nice and we've seen it right from the start of his innings
06:23jamie smith more than happy and comfortable to use his feet to spin
06:32a little bit of movement in the air there's a lot of movement
06:35off the bat as the 50 partnership comes up between smith and wokes
06:44clipped in the air straight to the field and that is the wicket the new ball
06:49has worked for the west indies all the way out to the square leg boundary
06:58mccall louis had a good look at this he just needed to settle himself
07:02probably could have taken another half step to be a little bit more balanced but the hands were good
07:06so atkinson's first ball and he's nicked it he had a stellar day yesterday with the ball
07:14it's not gone his way with the bat his usual away swinger from wide of the crease getting
07:19the batter to play at it and then a really good but easy take behind the stumps
07:25down the ground what a strike jamie smith is now going to go on the attack
07:37with england eight down that's a sweet strike
07:42heave the way leg side it's going to be 50 and it's well fielded in the deep so it is just a
07:47single what a test match it has been so far for the debutant
07:51oh that's a beauty
07:57eyes on the umpire was at an inside edge no it's gone through for buys so
08:02bad luck joshua de silva that was an awful one to try and take
08:09smoked leg side my goodness that is miles back what a shot
08:16the quickest bowler in the west indian lineup
08:21it's gone a long way up it's gone a long way full stop out the ground magnificent
08:36it's a terrific shot from that length he played one
08:39of shemar joseph as well from the other end
08:46so you've got to decide as a bowler if you're going to get it higher or if you're going to just
08:50try to get it a little fuller to him that's gone a long way up deep cover tries to get in will it
09:02land safely it does now the run out chance brilliant throw brilliant throw in the deep
09:10the tank with this throw look at him size it up aim and fire
09:16and bashir not even in the photo and then he goes
09:21all the way down to his boundary when he spots his brother down there
09:31and that gets through the two of them out there and it has gone through for four
09:37and followed him and he's just picked it up to that man out there
09:42and i think it's carried all the way it has that is an excellent catch two really
09:47good bits of fielding in the end there and that 70 gave him the lead of exactly 250
09:53and that was a good catch in the deep just making sure his feet didn't touch the cushions they didn't
10:01not sure it's a short or a straight
10:03and that's an opportunity to score that brathwaite has jumped upon
10:14and in his own inimitable way he's put it away
10:21because that stride is as you describe quite appropriate without forcing the shot
10:34top class from james anderson
10:38number 702 first innings when he was back of the length
10:43he's gone fuller he's nipped it back in and he's got through brathwaite again
10:48no just uh impact in line wickets missing mitten you can stay with the original not out
11:10pope has been sent to the headmaster's study
11:19looks as though he's just trying to the ball got a little bit big on him
11:26he likes it as does the umpire so stoke strikes immediately
11:38uh ball's close to the bat ultra one firm back original decision is out
11:44pitching in line in second line by
11:49great moment this for the england captain ben stoke
11:59glided towards the boundary the maze is off the mark
12:04does it again very deliberate opens the face pope chases in vain back-to-back boundaries
12:17oh what a lovely shot that is a couple of glides down to third man after the ball change will it
12:24swing yes it will and it brings an instant wicket perfect line and length his ability to
12:32perfect line and length his ability to stand the ball up and attack the outside edge that's
12:37a corker leaving the ball so well outside off stump but he got dragged into this one
12:42a sort of fifth stump ball and that feather edge through to smith
12:50all the way and he's off the mark in style
12:52that was how atkinson got his first test match wicket he's got another here
13:05exactly the same dismissals craig braithwaite in the first innings
13:15gotta think of it that's you it's going to come back to it after we have a look
13:19at the end result of a very nicely timed clip
13:25oh there it is smith with another dismissal and jimmy anderson is the gift that keeps on giving
13:32and then it comes angling down the slope a little bit of wobble in a fantastic catch
13:40jamie smith on debut low to his left
13:42left nice punch drive from the silver
14:02aesthetically pleasing
14:04that's very good
14:10he played one a few overs ago from the other end jason holder that one just a little bit more
14:15dynamism in it the short ball works jason all this tries to stand up and ride it
14:27it's been a brilliant plan from stokes and england that has come to fruition
14:32should i ride it should i duck it should i play it and in the end it just got a bit too big on him
14:38even him six foot six or seven jason holder and up the ball pops straight into the hands
14:45of ollie pope to end another very good day for england you can see what that
