4 Wickets in 4 Overs! _ Bashir & Woakes Change The Game at Trent Bridge _ England v West Indies
Transcript
00:00And edged him gone.
00:12Once again, that start from Mikhail Louis where everyone is saying he looks as if he's
00:16got the goods to handle opening up for the West Indies.
00:21He does have the goods.
00:22It's just that it's just not quite clicking early in his career and straight after the
00:27drinks break.
00:29Once again, he departs.
00:35Is it a touch wider on reflection for him than he felt he should have played at?
00:40He was nicked off twice at Lord's.
00:43Good for Chris Wilkes.
00:46Louis after spending time at the crease again goes for 17.
01:33Kirk McKenzie comes out to the middle.
01:48There's a quick chat to his captain and he'll have to settle himself in very, very quickly.
02:01And another one of the inexperienced Test match players within the West Indian side.
02:15And every spell for Chris Wilkes, you feel as if he's just finding himself more and more
02:20back into this rhythm of Test match bowling.
02:41Technique looks good for Louis.
02:42Is it a reset thing for him, Bish?
02:47After breaks, before breaks?
02:51Could be.
02:52And he's been challenged by this sort of line Stokes twice, I think at Lord's in that first
02:59Test match, nicked him off.
03:03So I think there's something there to work with.
03:05There are a couple of areas he'll have to get better at.
03:14Which I think is certainly adding to his stroke play.
03:20Not being reckless, but certainly finding other ways apart from the front foot drive.
03:26And he knows because that's familiar to what happened at Lord's.
03:32The reaction was the same at Lord's in the second innings.
03:37Leaving better on the off stump.
03:41Adding a little bit incrementally to his range of stroke play to sort of put a little bit
03:47of pressure back on bowlers, as opposed to allowing them to settle into that off stump
03:52channel against him.
03:54Yeah, that's lovely.
04:00Just the little press and the lean into the shot, head over the ball.
04:11If ever Craig Brathwaite was going to come up with big innings of note, this would be it.
04:24I think the reactions from both England and the West Indies in that wicket was the full
04:29range of emotions too.
04:32Ecstasy from Wokes.
04:35And the sheer disappointment of Louis, who once again has nicked off.
05:06You can just feel a little bit more energy out in the middle from England as well.
05:17Successful over, completed 66-1.
05:23Just to reflect on Louis at Lord's, that's a good delivery.
05:29That's on off stump.
05:31Little bit wider.
05:35And then today, even wider.
05:37So I never forgot something that former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney discussed within
05:45the airshot of me about batting.
05:48And the conversation that Jeremy Coney talked about was that in your trigger, the right
05:56eye ends up with the trigger on off stump.
06:01So you have a very good idea.
06:02If anything is outside the eyeline of that right eye, then you can leave it.
06:08And that's something that Louis is going to have to look at, and I'm sure Bashir is going
06:13to be looking at wickets.
06:22First time we'll see a spin from England today.
06:25Bashir into the attack, coming in from the Radcliffe road end.
06:30And he's got a bit of rough to work with as well now that the left-hander is out in the
06:35middle.
06:47You can see Sinclair just getting a little bit of purchase when he was bowling about
06:52an hour or so ago.
06:53And it's a couple of the areas he can hone in on.
07:01And he would have gathered from his first spell of bowling in the first Western Union
07:11innings that they're not a side that uses their feet a lot to come down the wicket.
07:16He averaged about that 4.3 metre length.
07:21Oh, the edge!
07:24And Smith has done well.
07:27Always difficult.
07:30The ball was dying, and McKenzie has to go after a brilliant catch.
07:41And Bashir will know that eyes are upon him to try to make a significant contribution
07:45in the fourth innings of a Test match.
07:52Good catch, it's nothing shot really from McKenzie who's had a horrid series.
07:571-0-11-1.
08:02For a young man, he'll reflect that it hasn't been great here in England for him.
08:0866 for 2.
08:27ALEC ATHERTON
08:37Alec Atherton
08:57One of the stars of the West Indian first innings.
09:06Alec Atherton comes out to the middle.
09:0982 next to his name, a big 175 run partnership with Hodge.
09:19Can bat long periods of time, has a very good technique.
09:27Next up.
09:33He's won an early half century.
09:36It was this Test match.
09:39Just early doors in his career, but like Louis, he's made people sit up and take note.
09:57ALEC ATHERTON
10:04Every captain loves a double wicket, that's for sure.
10:12The leading edge out of reach of Bashir.
10:16Not only the players on the field, but the crowd are sensing things here.
10:27ALEC ATHERTON
10:40A wicket maiden for his first over in the final innings.
10:4566 for 2.
10:57It's neither one thing nor the other, that dismissal, that shot from Mackenzie.
11:03But as you said, it's a good catch, it's a good start for Bashir,
11:07who's expected, as I said, to make a contribution here in the fourth innings.
11:20It was really a nothing kind of ball, wasn't it?
11:25Thanks to the crowd, the applause.
11:36He's waiting, waiting.
11:39Just to see whether or not it gets past, it does.
11:42And finds its way for 4.
11:45ALEC ATHERTON
11:50Drives in kind of an inimitable fashion,
11:53where it's dominated a little bit by the bottom hand,
11:56and so often it looks as though it's come off the inner half of the bat.
12:01Hope Markwood hasn't hurt himself in that attempt.
12:11Caught up in installments, didn't he?
12:15ALEC ATHERTON
12:28Just for all the keepers out there who are sitting there going,
12:31he's done well here, I completely agree.
12:34Started to rise with the ball pitched,
12:37got the gloves up around bale height,
12:39so then had to make sure that he could stay down low for that inside edge,
12:44had to readjust, got the hands in the right position.
12:49Wonderful work there from Jamie Smith.
12:57There's going to be opportunities,
13:00you've just got to be ready and willing to take them,
13:03and Brathwaite does it there.
13:07ALEC ATHERTON
13:13Brathwaite to 47, got to 48 in the first innings.
13:19He's somewhat with him this shot, and the shot is good,
13:23but the bowler will also be saying to himself,
13:26it's on the up, so if I get a little bit of lateral movement,
13:30maybe I can prise off the outside or inside edge.
13:37Chris Wokes
13:45And that's that movement that Chris Wokes is known for.
13:49Brathwaite knows it.
14:07ALEC ATHERTON
14:30It's gone on a good clip, Brathwaite.
14:3247 from 47, runner ball at the moment.
14:35It's not his usual way of proceeding
14:38at the opening up the batting for the West Indies.
14:53There's the edge once again, there's the catch from Smith.
14:57Wokes is making the ball talk,
15:00and after a bright start for the West Indies,
15:04England fighting back.
15:12Very good length,
15:15and Wokes has gotten better and better throughout this series.
15:20It was a drive ball about three deliveries ago,
15:23the length has been pulled back,
15:26and the lateral movement, which we've seen at various times
15:29throughout this Test match, on the surface,
15:33is still available if you're patient enough.
15:3647 to Brathwaite, one less than the first inning,
15:3974 for three.
16:02Faber-Cloche.
16:33With a maiden century to his name
16:36in the first innings,
16:39Devon Hodge now finds his way out to the middle.
16:51Teaming up with
16:54a teammate that he knows so well.
16:57They played beautifully together, 175 run partnership.
17:03Very strong back foot player
17:06at the non-striker's end at the moment.
17:24Wokes got Louis outside off,
17:27knicking off,
17:30and then gets the other opener in Brathwaite
17:33in a similar manner.
17:52The adjustment is now happening
17:55for Bichir now that he comes over the wicket
17:59and that's the way it's been for Devon Hodge.
18:02They saw a lot of this match-up in that first innings.
18:05As I mentioned,
18:08a strong back foot player.
18:11I think he only came out of the wicket once
18:14in all the deliveries that he faced Bichir on.
18:29He goes back deep,
18:32he needed to get better on that.
18:58Nice protection.
19:29That's the way it is.
19:40That propensity to play back,
19:43he did it a lot in the first innings against Bichir.
19:50And again that's fairly full.
19:53But that is Hodge's way.
19:59100 in the first innings,
20:02not in the second.
20:0575 for 4.
