2nd Test Day 3 Highlights West Indies Tour Of England 20th July 2024
Transcript
00:00And it was two good friends, Alec Cathernaize and Craig, sorry, Kevin Hodge who put on a
00:16massive partnership.
00:17Brathwaite played well as well for 48, so they trail by 65 and they will be looking
00:22to get a lead and put England under pressure in the second innings.
00:26Welcome to our main event viewers, when you join us just at the start of day three with
00:31Chris Wokes with a newish, just one overall Dukes ball in hand.
00:36Jason Holder on strike.
00:44Does take time for the lacquer to come off this Dukes ball.
00:51Nicely driven.
00:52That will be the first boundary of day three.
00:55Now has he nicked that?
01:01He has nicked it.
01:06Chris Wokes has just nibbled one away and Jamie Smith takes an easy catch.
01:13Ten of them, catches, Alterfield has none through to Smith.
01:17This one finally gets through to him and with that open stance that we've just been talking
01:21about to have good vision of the outside edge, they get the former West Indian captain
01:26Jason Holder.
01:27He looked good to start with but departs for 27.
01:31Gone, gone, full and Brook was in that wider position and takes the catch.
01:40He's caught beautifully in the series.
01:43Push him back, push him back and then tempt him with the full delivery.
01:47There was no footwork there from Sinclair and yet again Harry Brook has taken a very
01:54sharp catch.
01:57Sinclair, forward next to his name.
02:03Clipped and timed.
02:06Beautifully played.
02:12Leading edge, Stokes, down it goes.
02:15He got a hand to it.
02:17He got his hand under the ball.
02:18A chance has gone begging but a difficult one.
02:21Felt like the ball was in the air for a long time there.
02:24Ben Stokes didn't quite pick it up early enough.
02:29Sorry Joseph, got himself in a bit of a tangle.
02:35Ben Stokes goes with one hand.
02:42Feather off the toe perhaps of the bat.
02:45England are absolutely convinced eventually Adrian Holdstock raises his finger and Alzari
02:51Joseph will trudge off.
02:53Again, just that wobble seam delivery from Chris Wokes.
02:57Probably not the best ball he's bowled this morning but a wild drive from Alzari Joseph.
03:02He's been quite contained this morning.
03:04386 for 8 with Alzari Joseph gone for 10.
03:12Absolutely perfect from Wokes.
03:15An immaculate line and length and there's that movement back into the left hander.
03:20West Indies 9 down.
03:21Much more certainty from Wokes.
03:23It's the perfect delivery.
03:24Top of off stump.
03:27Stewart Broad touched on it just before he finished his stint on commentary but that
03:29short leg often is the distraction.
03:33West Indies still trailed by 30, they're now 9 down.
03:37So five slips, Pope at short leg, Bashir is at a shortish mid-on, Root is trying to
03:45rev the crowd up, Wokes is on a hat-trick.
03:50Here's Wokes, hat-trick ball.
03:54Oh, Jamal comes down and negates the length.
04:03Carves it away over the extra cover region.
04:08It'll be 54 to Silva, finally a shot in anger.
04:11What a stylish way to go to a personal landmark of six.
04:26Nice strike from Shemar Joseph.
04:32Not fine and too fine for Crawley at deep third to negotiate and it's gone for six anyway.
04:4090 overs in total at Lord's and now gone past 400.
04:49And he splits the gap.
04:56He has played that with all the skill, the panache and the aplomb of someone who bats
05:01higher up the order.
05:07Sir Garfield might have struggled to play it better.
05:12Just back of a length, he's nailed it over mid-wicket.
05:19And he goes again and he has absolutely nailed it.
05:24And he's taken a few tiles off the roof as well.
05:27Still the chagrin of those seated below.
05:31The little building there, hope none of them are hit by the broken tiles.
05:35Flashing blade, falling masonry.
05:40West Indies lead by six.
05:42Oh, heads up, hope everybody's okay.
05:48What a strike again.
05:53And now he goes short again and that's gone down to the boundary too.
05:58He's safe for square leg is signaling for, shall we say, the umpire point.
06:11And he does.
06:12It's not timed out of the middle of the bat.
06:14Stokes had kept himself up.
06:20Valuable runs for De Silva and the West Indies.
06:29Mighty strong and muscular shot from De Silva to the cheer of the West Indian fans and the
06:36frustration I'm sure of England.
06:41Wonderful shot from Joshua De Silva.
06:46Goes the other way.
06:49Look at the reaction at the other end.
06:50I love the reaction from Joshua De Silva.
06:53Pure frustration from Mark Wood.
06:58Frustration from coach De Silva at the other end.
07:02Oh, Chip, that should be gone.
07:06And Joshua De Silva's gone down on his haunches at the other end.
07:11Chip to Atkinson.
07:13And the fun is over.
07:15But what fun it was while it lasted.
07:17A much deserved wicket for Mark Wood.
07:20Tried to get him behind it.
07:21Flick it over to the leg side and a simple catch for Gus Atkinson.
07:26See Joshua De Silva immediately down.
07:28Nonetheless, a wonderful innings from him.
07:32Backed up by Shemar Joseph.
07:34Yeah, he loves batting against England.
07:36Joshua De Silva, that 100 he had against him.
07:39Nearly won here.
07:4082, not out.
07:42Played brilliantly.
07:43416, England.
07:44On a pitch that was flat.
07:47157, the West Indies on a pitch that just did a bit with clouds around.
07:53And that is what the West Indies will hope will stay, because that lead of 41 is going
07:59to be vital.
08:00They cannot bowl the way they did in the first innings, where England got to 50 in just four
08:05overs and two balls.
08:07Zach Crawley has been much more consistent of late.
08:10I know he got a duck in the first innings, but previous to that, Lords, India, Ashes,
08:17Alzari Joseph, who was expensive.
08:21He's a natural wicket taker, and that's what his captain will hope for here.
08:26Wow, how did Zach Crawley get that there?
08:33He may have top edged it or gloved it into his chest.
08:37Averaging 40 played really well in the first innings.
08:44Swings in, and goes away for a boundary, too straight.
08:56Didn't get a touch on that.
08:58He's asking the question, did Zach Crawley get back?
09:02They're going to have a look.
09:07OK, the ball has clearly touched the fingers.
09:13Can I have the side only for the run out, please?
09:20OK, just ease it, one frame back, please.
09:26Yeah, wheels are off, bat is in the air.
09:29I'm ready with my decision for the big screen.
09:32Well, what a way to get out.
09:34A duck in the first innings, and run out, backing up at the non-strikers end
09:39for three in the second.
09:42Six hundreds against six different cricket teams.
09:47Internationally now for Oli Pope, and it's hoping he gets to Sri Lanka
09:51without another one, and gets seven from seven.
09:53That'll be a record, will it, Benny?
09:56New bat, again off the toe end of it, but it'll go away for a boundary.
10:02Pope off the mark.
10:09He pokes in a bit of nick.
10:11100 in the first innings, and he's rattling along already in the second.
10:19Going to get another four, I think, because that's the short part of the ground,
10:23and it's a very, very quick outfield.
10:25Not great bowling, this, but very good batting.
10:32Won't be another four.
10:34It is. Boundaries are flowing.
10:41Gorgeous shot.
10:44Well, it's inconsistent again from Alzari-Joseph,
10:48and Oli Pope has dealt with that.
10:5055 for one after nine, England lead by 14.
10:57Flashes hard, and well forward, and out of the way,
11:01with a very athletic Mikhail Lui.
11:04He's been brilliant on the boundary, but he can't save that.
11:08Finds the gap again, unerringly.
11:11Ben Duckett will find gaps in the field.
11:17Right on cue.
11:20That's a terrific shot.
11:28Slightly off the top edge, but the result will be the same.
11:32Yeah, that was coming.
11:34You might as well have just sent him an open invitation
11:38to sweep it round the corner there.
11:40That brings up his 50, second in the match.
11:42Just 55 balls required this time.
11:48That's a great shot.
11:52That's a great shot.
11:56That's a great shot.
11:58That's a great shot.
12:16Oh, slashed. Not in control of that one.
12:19With the field as it is.
12:22Gainey's off spinners started with Lance Gibbs.
12:26This partnership between Pope and Duckett blossoms to 100.
12:35Well balled, boy.
12:40And that will be tea.
12:42It's been a good session for England.
12:44They've got their noses back in front again.
12:46Duckett and Pope have put together a partnership
12:50of 108 alarmless and pretty fluent runs.
12:55And the West Indies once again are scratching their heads
12:58and battling away to find a way through this partnership
13:02and the rest of England's batting line-up.
13:04England lead by 75, 116 for one.
13:15I think it's a good idea, swapping ends.
13:18It is.
13:25Another half century
13:28for Ollie Pope to back up his 100 in the first innings.
13:32A rich vein of form across this contest.
13:36Continues unabated form.
13:39Finds a gap this time.
13:41Maybe his fifth, sixth, seventh time of trying.
13:49And there is the golly.
13:53Kevin Sinclair in a slightly fine golly position
13:57takes a sharp low catch.
13:59The break has done for Ollie Pope.
14:02Golly was put in.
14:03He gave it a chance to swing.
14:05And it just moved away.
14:08And it moved into the hands of Sinclair.
14:12Ollie Pope goes for 51.
14:14127 for two.
14:26Duckett is just so good.
14:29Duckett has just slashed that away.
14:35All close, surely.
14:37Yes, the finger goes up.
14:39That was a fantastic yorker from Alzari Joseph.
14:47Pitching in line.
14:50He gets hitting, impact in line.
14:52Thank you.
14:53I'll go back to broad on field.
14:55Broad on field.
15:25And he's drilled it
15:27between the bowler and mid-off for four.
15:32Ouch.
15:35That has come back sharply and bounced.
15:46Wow.
15:49The best of Joe Root.
15:52Shot.
15:54Second imperious cover drive
15:57in the last ten minutes or so from Joe Root.
16:09200 up.
16:11Lead 159.
16:17Slashed hard.
16:18It was short.
16:19It was wide.
16:20Harry Brooks threw everything at it.
16:25Ouch.
16:26He's had bits chipped off him in this innings.
16:32Pulled.
16:33Neither one nor t'other.
16:34It wasn't a real bouncer.
16:36It was about waist height.
16:37And Harry Brooks put that away.
16:41Gives himself room.
16:43That's the only shot he plays not convinced about.
16:46When he backs away.
16:48It's a premeditated shot.
16:54Punched down the ground.
16:56And that will be another half century for Harry Brooks.
16:59His ninth half century.
17:03400s.
17:04He's a real talent.
17:11And he plays it between slip and gully.
17:14Intentionally placed.
17:15Played down.
17:17Four more.
17:23And again.
17:24Same again.
17:25And that will bring up the hundred partnership between Root and Brook.
17:35Another late cut.
17:36This time off the spinner.
17:37Same result.
17:38Four more.
17:43Full toss.
17:45Clip.
17:46Deep square leg.
17:47Another excellent day of test match cricket.
17:50A couple of quick wickets.
17:51But it took two Yorkshire men.
17:53Who just put England in a commanding position.
17:56Three excellent days at an excellent test match venue.
17:59England having been inserted on that first morning.
18:02416 with 100 for Ollie Pope.
18:04His sixth test hundred.
18:10West Indies in reply in their first innings.
18:12457.
18:13Hodge with 120.
18:15Joshua De Silva played nicely with the tail today.
18:1882.
18:19Not out for him.
18:20Chris Wokes.
18:21Back in form.
18:22Back in rhythm.
18:23Four for 84.
18:25England's second time round.
18:27They just wobbled at 127 for two and 140 for three.
18:32But then it was Brook and it was Root to see him through to close.
18:36248 for three.
18:38England are 207 runs ahead.
18:43England are 207 runs ahead.
18:46And they're in the lead.
18:48And they're in the lead.
