Barbados Test - Day Three.

The Windies batted superbly well and made a huge total for England to chase on a benign looking pitch. The England bowlers found it hard work as the home side refused to declare until the skipper had his double century.
You were absolutely confident that England would collapse to the fast bowling attack - but they didn't. The openers batted through comfortably to stumps.
The only small problem is that to get a draw, England must bat through SIX full sessions.
Surely impossible as the pitch wears on the fifth and final day - but can England's batsmen get even close to taking it into that last day? - I seriously doubt it!

Phew.
