What's the likely punishment?

Dropped for the remainder of the current series or dropped for this and the Pakistan series?

Just this game I think?

Anyway, Sibley - finally - gets his 100

Stokes on 99

264-for 3 at lunch

If England bat the whole day and get 450, that could easily bat West Indies out of the game.

Bloody hell - they're going for it!

50 runs this morning from six overs

Ben Stokes has cracked 50 from 36 balls

[Shaggy]

2 down

Lovely from Broad, 3 down now

Broad looking imperious, both last night and today. Regardless of what people (myself included) think of him, there's no denying him when he's on song. Pretty dismal few sessions from the West Indies. England could wrap this up in the next session.

[Shaggy]

Another beauty from Broad. Could be all over before tea.

Explain to me why Broad got sacked off in the first test.

Is he that much of a bellend - and i ask as i don't follow cricket enough to know.

[Yozza]

Stokes again!

Needed that

They're rotating players (bowlers), due to busy summer schedule played in a compressed time frame.

Next test starts on Friday, so guess they dont want to overload the bowlers too early in the fixture list.

[Chazza]

Got a selection headache now mind.

Nice problem to have.

[Zapater]

I'm sure they would have outlined the selection well in advance (subject to fitness/form) to ensure workload management. Skysports panel speculating that players were dropped is ridiculous 'How can Broad be rested/rotated, he was dropped, he hasn't bowled a ball in x months' - yes, that's true, but the schedule is available in advance and it's easy to select according to opposition, combinations and conditions, especially when you consider the quick turnaround of matches.

I know Woakes and Bess can bat a bit but that is a long tail
