Weather forecast has got a little better in that we may only lose most of Saturday as opposed to all of it. Monday looking a complete washout so just over 3 days likely.

Just keep losing a wicket as the partnership is starting to develop. Serious catch though from Cornwall
Thankfully, the rain will wash this game out and save us a defeat
It's time Buttler justified himself and he has the perfect stage to play a vital innings.

The chances currently rated as draw 49%, England win (don't think they've seen the forecast) 41%, West Indies 10%
In reality I just can't see how on earth England can win in the likely time available, even if they played out of their skins.
West Indies play extremely well and bowling first you have a chance to win in three days, but how on earth do you do it batting first, you just can't, you need to enforce a follow on and even then it's tough.
Winning the toss and bowling the only option really.

I'm a massive fan of his but how long has this been said about him now? Fella is never going to crack Test cricket
About 2 years at least I'd say.
On the plus side, I'm just back from shopping and popped into the charity shop while I was out and picked up a lovely hardback copy of Fred Trueman the authorised Biography by Chris Waters in new condition for 50p.

From wiki, Fred's classic quote on (Sir) Geoffrey of Yorkshire
If Geoffrey had played cricket the way he talked he would have had people queuing up to get into the ground instead of queuing up to leave.
– Fred Trueman on Boycott's commentating career in 1993
You can in a low scoring game. Score 250, bowl them out for 180, score 180, bowl them out again. Not saying that's what I expect to happen, but it's a fairly straightforward and plausible scenario. You just never know with the weather in England, if it's 3 days play you'll struggle to do that, 3 1/2 and it's a definite possibility.
Cricket is a wonderful game enjoyed by people from all over Mr Snide.
