Brathwaite's action reported! Insult to injury.

To add some interest to the next test, how about a game of #windiesbingo, predictions for what hour of which session England will wrap the match up in......weather looks good for the next few days so shouldn't be an issue, Headingley historically been bowler friendly (tho i think we could play them on some of the T20 strips and wrap it up quickly).
I'm going to go generous and plump for first hour of the 4th morning that it's wrapped up

Mmm... Okay, here are my match predictions.
Windies total score: 450 (±25); Joe Root to notch up that 12th Test 50 in a row; Jimmy to get 8 wickets; All over in the second session on the fourth day - England unlikely to enforce the follow-on again if the weather's good.

Bit rough on TRJ to be dropped, has looked the part since call up. If windies bat 1st then hopefully they might get 300 plus, fingers crossed for Joe and the 12th.

I want Chris Woakes to get his maiden ton.

Win toss and bat. Which is a shame. If I were Root I'd choose to bowl next time.

Oh that was some drop off Root, lets see how costly.

Really glad to see some fight from the Windies, that drop off Root was a proper clanger, here's hoping for a good contest

Another drop off Stokes as well, this could have been a very different game.
Well done Joe on another 50 and equalling the record

152/6. Could it have been 150/8? Well bowled WI, but cripes, gents.
And yet I still think England will win.
