England have currently been playing the West Indies in a three test series.

In the first match - a day might test with the pink ball, England won comfortably. This was the first day/night test in England. England won by an innings and 209 runs.

Official Highlights:

Day 2: https://youtu.be/A60DsJmHJMc
Day 3: https://youtu.be/qUFEaDDFNzk



In the second test the Windies have fought back, bowling out England for 258. They could have done even better if they hadn't spilled a catch early from Ben Stokes, who made a hundred.

The Windies batsmen have also done well, finishing the second day at 5/325 after centuries from Kraigg Braithwaite, and a maiden test hundred from Shai Hope (147no).

Day 1 (Stokes Hundred): https://youtu.be/vsv3fQPdyK4

Day 2 (Braithwaite and Hope hundreds): https://youtu.be/v6e-YmrpVS8

This seems like a good idea to me.

India are currently touring Sri Lanka and are giving them a real thrashing.

Angelo Matthews has stood down as Sri Lanka captain and has been replaced by Dinesh Chandimal.

1st test: India won by 304 runs
2nd test: India won by an innings and 53 runs
3rd test: India won by an innings and 171 runs

First ODI: India won by 9 wickets
2nd ODI: India won by 3 wickets (D/L method)

Three more ODI matches will be played.

The next step for India is to win on pace friendly pitches away from home.

England also won the ODI series 2-1 and the T20 series 2-1.

West Indies 9-422.


They lead England by 164 runs in the first innings.

Windies bowled out for 427, lead of 169. Very good performance by them.

Lol piss off its not that good

Welcome to the forum.

I hope your next comment is more civil.

One of the better recent performances away from home for the Windies.

Eng vs WI 2nd test Day 3 Highlights:

https://youtu.be/n5swIgP5Bmw

England fought back on day 4 and set the Windies 322 to win on the final day. They are currently 2/100 with Braithwaite still at the crease. Could be an interesting finish.

WOW! West Indies managed to run down 322 for an unlikely victory. Shai Hope scored another hundred to see the team to victory five wickets down. Braithwaite also scored 95 to add to his first innings hundred, but Cook dropped him early. Blackwood came in late and smashed a quick 41 to to get them home.

That's the first West Indies test win in England for 17 years. Fantastic effort by a young and inexperienced team, but as always with the Windies, they need to back up next game. Shai Hope looks like a batsman with potential.

Joe Root will be kicking himself for declaring, but he would have won the game if his fielders had held their catches.

Wasn't Joe root that bloke warner belted?? When's the next ashes? I'm a bit out of the loop

I think we play the Poms at home this season. Yes, Warner struck Root.

What a victory for the Windies!

India whitewashed Sri Lanka in the One Day series 5-0.

Most notable was the performance of Indian Fast Bowler Jasprit Bumrah who took 5/27 in the third game and ended up man of the series. He looks a good prospect for India in white ball cricket.

Cant believe the Windies beat England when the Poms were at home. A big victory for them.

West Indies have won the toss and are batting in the 3rd test against England at Lords.

They have lost one wicket already after 12 overs, Anderson getting Braithwaite out. Currently a rain delay.

The English series is now keenly contested after the Windies won the last test.

Elsewhere in Asia, India managed to chase down 170 with 4 balls to spare in the first T20 against Sri Lanka.

The Windies finished Day 1 bowled out for 127. However England struggled to bat on it too, losing 4 early wickets. Cook and Root are already out, and are going to need Stokes, Bairstow and Moeen Ali to bail them out yet again.

England must be getting worried about their top order woes. Their middle and lower order are very strong but you can't always rely on them to bail you out. They need to find an opening partner for Cook and a new number 3 (or Root needs to bat there).

On the plus side, Stokes finally found some form with the ball, taking a 6 wicket haul and reverse swinging the ball all over the place. His form will be very important going into the Ashes this summer.

Day 1 highlights: https://youtu.be/dpYZnC6dTFw

Windies managed to bowl England out for 195. Kemar Roach put himself on the honour board with a 5 wicket haul for the Windies.

They lost 3 wickets in the final session to be 3/90 in response, only 22 runs ahead. Shai Hope is still at the crease on 35. They'll have to bat well tomorrow to set England a target.

James Anderson took his 500th test wicket by bowling Braithwaite.

https://youtu.be/DHUIFTRix3c

England won the third test at Lords by nine wickets. Stoneman and Westley chasing down the 107 to win.

Earlier they bowled West Indies out for 177, James Anderson taking a career best 7 wicket haul. Shai Hope scored the only half century for the

Pretty ordinary game for the batsmen, neither team cracking 200 in either innings.

Day 3: https://youtu.be/CdF1p6l31-I



Overall it was a mixed series for both teams.

The West Indies batted very poorly in two games, but Braithwaite and Shai Hope won the second test on their own with their avalanche of runs in both innings. Shai Hope was the pick of the Windies batsmen. On the plus side, the Windies fast bowlers looked in good form for the first time in.a long time, especially Kemal Roach.

England need to look at their poor fielding, especially in the slips cordon. They also need to find a solution to their top order batting woes. The number 3 batting slot and the opening slot are very shaky at the moment. After four years they still haven't really found a replacement to Strauss as Cook's partner.

I was watching Stoneman, Cook's opening partner and he looked okay when I saw him.

 Good round up, Lastbroadcast. 

Some good news - a world XI side has been assembled to play some T20 cricket against Pakistan in Pakistan.

The team includes a number of players from around the world, including South African captain Faf Du Plessis and West Indies spinner Samuel Badree.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/20667069

Absolutely. Good news for cricket.

South Africa are playing Bangladesh in Potchetstroom. In the first dig SA made 3-493 declared with Bangladesh 9 for 308 in reply. All of Morkel, Rabada and Olivier have  bowled over 140 clicks. No doubt Bangladesh have improved away from home.

There were hardly any spectators at the game. Potchetstroom looks like a pretty remote place.

Is it because the SA gov has become increasingly anti white ?

It might be to spread cricket to more remote regions. They've done it in Australia, NZ and India.

Test cricket is only strong in South Africa in Cape Town and Durban, and only in the Christmas-New Year period. Nobody would be rocking up to watch Bangladesh right now.


In other news, a great test match was just played in the UAE, surprisingly won by Sri Lanka. They managed to bowl Pakistan out for 114 in the fourth innings, winning by only 21 runs. Hearth taking 11 for the match.


England won the ODI series against the West Indies, despite some notable performances by Evan Lewis, Gayle, and Jason Holder.

South Africa have Steyn, Philander, Morkel, Morris all injured yet theyve called up Dane Paterson who averages 23 in FC. Their fast bowling depth is crazy. 

I've been surprised too.

Morkel, Olivier and Rabada in particular have been impressive against Bangla.

From what I've seen in Australian and South African conditions, the Aussie attack of Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Lyon is the best of all by some margin. In the Ashes  series I don't think Cummins and Hazlewood have hit top form at this stage in the series.

Abbott and Morkel retire to County Cricket. Welcome to future superstar Lungi Ngidi. ;-)

It is an amazing production line of seamers.

SA also have good pitches for fast bowlers to bowl on.

They do. Agreed.

But Lungi caned the IPL which are anything but fast bowler friendly.

Lungi is a champion. So is Rabada. These boys are bowlers and future ATG's.

New Zealand are playing the Windies in NZ in the Second Test.  The Kiwis won the First Test  first by 10 wickets.

The Windies have taken 8 for not many in the second Kiwi innings. Shannon Gabriel bowled very fast up to 145 kph late in the day. The Windies need to make 400 odd to win. The Kiwis have taken two early wickets in Windies second dig.



At Hamilton there is barely a spectator in the ground. From what I've seen it is the same in South Africa, West Indies and New Zealand. Few spectators are turning  up to watch test cricket in these countries. Sri Lanka is marginally better. Sometimes it is the high cost of tickets relative to  average wages. They are turning up in England, India, Australia and Bangladesh.

New Zealand have achieved a series win against England.

The series was played in New Zealand.

The Kiwis are now ranked  third as a Test nation - one place above Australia.

England too good for India at home in this last test series.

I expected India to be better. Ravi Ashwin struggled compared to to Indian wickets.

Moen Ali's spin bowling has improved out of sight for England. Anderson and Broad continite to be a potent threat o English wickets. T

The crowds were good too.

I'm going to bump this one.

I'm not sure what is going in terms of results in the India/Windies series in India?

I've seen a bit on TV.

Basically Shai Hope is demonstrating that he has some talent (first evidenced in England last year in that test they won), and Hetmeyer has announced that he is a slogger who is dangerous on roads. When I say slogger - he plays orthodox shots, but he takes the boundary on for 6. He will look to launch 6's over cover off the quicks. And he will smash spinners straight down the ground.

Holder continued his good form with the bat. 

And the rest of the West Indian batting was pathetic. Same ol' same ol'.
