with all that's dreadful going on in the world it's odd to be listening to the cricket, but....there you go
England managed to get themselves all out for 243, despite a promising start from Strauss and Prior and a decent knock from Trott.
And then the West Indies came in with a real attitude - Gayle hitting 18 off the third over and then 18 off the fifth over. He's gone, and the Windies went to 118 for five off 20 overs - a great scoring rate, but too many wickets for comfort. Enter Pollard, who belaboured the England, before being dropped and then getting out LBW to Swann. So......after 30 overs it's 154 for 6. Getting the remaining 90 runs in 20 overs should be easy-peasy, but they've only got four wickets left and the last recognised batsman, Sarwan, is on 12. Right now, there's no telling whether England are going for the proverbial early bath....
