We are quite capable of collapsing or not making it but its still well below par for my money and that's even if it proves enough

Going out to bat thinking this will be easy.
It was the complete opposite the other day and it made the team focus hard and play well.
This innings will actually tell us more about this team
Will be interesting to see their mindset

Cotterell's celebration is class. lol
That was very poor. Bit of a reality check. Stokes and Buttler should have saw it through.

Typical England.. Just like Everton

West Indies levelled the series in a close fought finish, with England, who had looked in control, losing a few wickets quickly at 228 for 4 to eventually be bowled out short by 26 runs as the last few went quickly.
At 228-4 chasing 290 top scorer Stokes 79 and then Buttler went in quick succession. A shocking umpiring decision with the ball going wide and over the stumps got rid of Curran first ball soon after and although Rashid and Ali almost got them within striking distance both got out 30 odd short and the tail found it too much after that.
It was an under par total they should have chased down but perhaps a little over confidence left them too complacent and wickets went just as they looked to be getting on top again. It will be a reality check for them that no total is too easy until the match is won.
A note on the West Indies new quick bowler Cotterell, had a dream debut with a five for, what a start for him.

That waste of a review from top scorer Ben Stokes was so annoying when they get such a scandalous decision from the local umpire just after, coming so soon after Stokes and Buttler going it felt like the final nail struck by the umpire.
