Yeah the red ball reset makes zero sense from an on-field perspective.

Woakes and Overton firing pop guns at a determined Nkrumah Bonner, it's basically a county match.
You can tell England haven’t had a proper wicket keeper in a good while based on the amount of Ben Foakes videos on my Twitter
Now COVID doesn't exist anymore, when are they going to start flying in competent umpires again?
BT bringing up Scott Boland's bowling stats just for grins.
First over, removes the centurion. Know the gameOriginally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Carlos Brathwaite is a really good pundit. I don't know if he lives over here now but he always seems to be on our TV.
Well his child was born here at least so I'd assume so.
We really should have just shaken hands on this before condemning ourselves to 12 months of Zak Crawley opening the batting.
Yeah this innings means we're definitely enduring about 30 innings of Crawley averaging 7 again.
I still quite like him but I’ve only really seen him play a handful of times.
He's a very England batsman. When he gets a score he'll look the business. However the rest of the time he'll be chasing at any old filth three yards wide of his stumps and chucking his wicket away.
He's got one way to play and it either looks slick as fuck or, more often, deeply unsuited to test cricket.
I mean I'd love him to prove me wrong.
Oooh we've just taken a third one into tea. A shame we can't ever dismiss Holder and Stokes looks in bits because it could be an exciting last 2.5 hours.
So this Bonner guy is going to be the guy who we don't get out all series yeah? Always one.
After a TFC in the first Test which is lol enough, Fawad Alam gets smashed dead in front first ball in the second Test.
Good to see the England Women going full France in their World Cup defence efforts.
Could be history in the making in Karachi this afternoon…
Wow. I hadn't even bothered looking today.
Babar
I don't think there are enough overs for the chase, but that's cracking batting to see out a draw (IF they make it).
I would LOVE it.
As you say though, even if they keep chugging along they probably don't have enough time.
How did they manage to get bowled out for 148 in the first dig?
I saw this thread, immediately went over to cricinfo to see what was going on, and the score flashed and changed from 4 down to 5 down. Sorry Babar.
And there goes another.
Fuck's sake, Vowels.
I blame Max for bringing it to everyone's attention.
The jinx power clearly crosses country lines.
Are these lunatics going for the win?
How has Swepson got himself a gig? Bang average.
Fisher and Mahmood both getting debuts today.
Cant be any worse than Overton.
What is a Matt Fisher?
Yorkshire seamer. Broke into the team at like 17 but has been up and down since then.
I would have expected England to pick Ben Coad before him (looking purely at Yorkshire).
He hasn't even been on the radar before this tour, which makes me think it's a Root pick.
53/1 off 35, absolute party cricket going off in Bridgetown.
I was supposed to be at this Test until my wife got preggo. Actually think I’ve dodged a bullet.
Yeah both have tests have been a bit turgid.
Even if it has been a bit dull at least we have dug in a bit. I’d rather it was dull and we were always in the game than being 100-6 every game.
If you want excitement get James Vince in.
I mean, have we really dug in or are the Windies just not very good on a pitch that's doing nothing?
A bit of both. But we could also definitely find a way to be 30-4 on any pitch no matter how much of a batsman’s paradise it looks.
That map showing where the Windies seamers deliveries have passed the crease since Tea.
It's the wooden things, lads.
If this rather odd tour means an extended run for Lawrence, I'm all for it.
Oh Dan.
He'll get there. He has a bit of vim and something about him, personality-wise, which might sound like a low bar to be selected for a national sporting team but in this bunch of wets it counts for a lot I think.
I look forward to him going back to being shit against anybody good.
He needs to put that off spin away mind.
2 Test wickets at 20, he should be our primary spin option.
Kids action.
Wouldn't get a bowl in club cricket, gets one in the pro game.
This is excellent stuff from Stokes, exactly what we need.
Yep a solid counter-attack. That's what this team has needed for a long time.
