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 1: https://youtu.be/AMqjiNRHf_g
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).

Official Highlights from the ECB:

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
