FOURTH NPOWER TEST, RIVERSIDE: ENGLAND v WEST INDIES

So we're saying they have 1, maybe 2, at an absolute push 3 men who will be fairly difficult to get out. But we're talking about a 5th day pitch (or late test match pitch anyway), and weather permitting 4 good hours to get them out in. I can't see how you can see the draw as favourite if it's a full days play personally. If we hadn't have dropped our catches, Chanderpauls record would be decent rather than magnificent this series, so it's a question of making it count this time
 
30 minutes delay because of bad light, the weather's fine here
 
Early wicket just what we need. Hoggard gets Gayle 94 - 6. We've just got to get Chanderpaul now
 
Cant watch the game, any updates on the score please?. How is Chanderpaul playing?
 
Chanderpaul is gunna be batting this one out; thankfully all around him are falling away, awesome last wicket from Monty, his very own 'Gatting' ball. Windies effectively 63/7, weather is very cloudy with rain expected late in the day, so everything is on a knife edge here. Three wickets this session though, and it's only halfway through
 
Looks like Brads Bookies PLC might have made the correct call putting England as favouites ahead of the draw today, dreadful dreadful 'shot' by Powell just swiping it above his head and an easy catch for Vaughan, Windies effectively 75/8

EDIT good God the world has gone mad, Monty Panesar is fielding at slip...

Only the weather saves Windies now, England have about 50 overs to knock off 110

O, are they all out? sorry I cant watch the game, So England need 110 runs to win then? should be able to get that.

If so what is the bowling score sheet?
 
Strauss out poorly again, he looked really promising when he first arrived on the scene. I still think England dont have the right batting balance.
 
Harmison bowled well, figures don't tell the story

England cruise to victory, lost 3 wickets chasing their target down. Well done lads, we might even beat this lot in the one days... should fancy India will actually give us a game after that
 
England going to play India next then. Be good to see Dravid and Tendulkar playing.
 
Missed the day's play but well done to England. The result suprised me a bit because i was told that today's afternoon would be a washout. England need a better test than the Winides and India should provide that
 
We're far better cricketers than most of your lot could ever dream to be but we'll lose.And badly at that.
