England V West Indies day 4

Test cricket England
comment on the article

England V West Indies day 4.
West Indies need another 433 runs to win with nine wickets in hand.
I think England will win it today but the West Indies will put up a fight.
Monty will get a few wickets and so will Harmison who already got the wicket of Ganga late yesterday.
The West Indies will start at 22-1.

Where is todays commentary on the website?

Maybe the guy who was meant to be doing it thought there would be no fifth day and booked himself a holiday? Hmmmmmmmmmm

I am pleased that the West Indies have shown some fight. I always felt after the mauling last tes and Sarwan's injury, it would kick this team into gear.

Also, having Chanderpaul back has been a boost - and Sammy's 7 wickets was a late spur for this team to fight all the way. Fellow England fans need to remember that this is Test cricket where anything can happen. Even the mighty Aussies have struggled against the likes of Bangladesh, which shows anything is possible!

Do not forget that we are rebuilding after the debacle of the Ashes, plus a new coach on board, as well as no Flintoff, so there are bound to be teething problems.

I for one will be pleased if we pull through today as in test cricket, you have to battle all the way in tight spots like this.

Remember - in this moment, cricket wins, and that is good for every cricket fan!

You just beat me to it Dun Doire. I think it's meant to be Tom Fordyce today. The youth of today...

What is the beeb doing? Why are they spending all our money on commentary (after failing to secure live television rights) and then failing to deliver. No notice of explanation either!!

I,m listening to Radio 5 live as well as watching the scorecard and still waiting for text commentary. I can tell you though Panesar opened up opposite to Harmison and is 'causing all sorts of problems' according to Aggers. Monty has actually been called for a one short delivery for the over, ball 'exploded ' out of the rough and lept over prior's head!!! Harmison's bowling straight but not very quick yet.

This is the temporary link to the live updates.

Seems the BBC is having a spot of bother. Apologies to you My Fordyce, sir.

It was actually Chanderpaul who was the recipient of the 'grenade', being shorter and having the rough outside his off stump!!!
Sammy in the mean-time has pulled his hammie, trying to get on top of Harmo short one!!drinks break now, and TMS back up and running, hooray!!!
