Some high cloud but no wind and could get nice and warm today. Full day ahead.
Cheers, are you attending the game at any stage, Enz?
No. I am taking a drug to settle the nerves in my back and legs (from the back injury) and it reacts funnily to direct sunlight,

Going to the rugby tomorrow night instead

Comment re KW on cricinfo
Simon: "Here's a stat for you - since 2017 Kane Williamson has averaged 60.48 in test cricket, an impressive stat by itself, however his weakness has been susceptibility early. If he gets past just 5 runs his average leaps up to massive 93.90!"

The skipper gets his double ton. A superb innings, sheer class throughout.

The Windies bowling has been pretty tight today.


And Roach gets Mitchell as I speak.

A third double ton for KW :clap:.

That stat about his average is crazy - get him early or pay the price.

Definitely upping the tempo. It will be interesting to see if Jamieson joins in.

Kane superb always. Jamieson looks like he could develop into a handy 7, which would be nice to allow us to play 4 genuine quicks + a spinner.

Tim Seifert and Glenn Phillips have both brought up 100s against West Indies A too. Can't remember a time we've had so much depth when you think of who's not in this team: Watling, Patel, Conway, CDG, Ferguson, Henry, Phillips, Santner. Genuine bench strength for once.

Yep, that was a terrific grab by Blundell.

Good start to the day, bowlers on the money.

Cricinfo have just published this as one of their viewers/readers comments.
