Ramnaresh Sarwan makes a brilliant 291 as West Indies declare on 749-9 against England.
Ramdin added 166 and Taylor reached 53 as England struggled in the field.

With the Windies traditionally having long hot summer days, you would think that England would have an attack based upon spin and medium pace?

Seam bowling only has good returns when there is cloud and air pressure, hence the reason why most of the wickets have fallen at the end of each day as the sun starts to set and temperatures drop.
England need more bowlers that can drop in a few slower balls and mix it up instead of treadmill like fast seam bowling.

The impressive Sarwan is still unbeaten on 184, showing many more runs are left in the wicket.

There is hope for England, with the windies 202 behind England’s total, but they need quick wickets tomorrow if we are to avoid a drawn match.
The batsmen have done their job, now we need the bowlers to step up and make an impression.
