Cricket - What A Second Day In The Test In Saint Lucia!

After a spectacular bowling performance from Moeen Ali with his off spin on a pitch which offered precious little assistance - we were treated to the best piece of truly fast bowling by an England player in many a year.
Mark Wood took a 'fivefer' as he regularly hit speeds of 92 and 93 mph.
Wood is the forgotten man of England cricket as he has endured so many injuries since his test debut. Never has he bowled so fast for England and his accuracy was superb. (Can England now keep this mighty asset fit for extended periods, I ask myself?
England skittled the Windies to take a lead of 123 on the first innings. 
Having finished day two with a 141 lead, as well as having all wickets intact - it is difficult to consider the possibility of anything but an England victory to make their defeat in the series just a little more palatable.

This individual awoke, fully safe in the knowledge that he can NEVER face execution. So tremendously heartwarming!
