Dumb ar$e declaration last night by Root. England didn't have to win this match.

People used to criticise Cook for erring on the side of caution. This is why he did.

England bowled poorly this match that's the problem. No way should you be able to chase down 300 on a day 5 pitch.

Broad changing the field every ball. Time wasting

Nope windies were rank outsiders to chase this...Hope has made history by double tonning. ..give them credit

It is natural to resort to time wasting tactics in a situation like this but an umpire shouldn't pay heed to bad light requests.

Leg byes all day

Windies closing in

Englund

Where is big talker Grande? No where to be found now.. Just utter pure comedy by mighty puffy englund!

Breaking news! Liver got a heart attack due to Windies ripping his cute & lovely team. Englund got banged hardddd! Ahhhh ehhh ohhhh!

Stoky butter fingers.. Englund finished!

England bowlers rubbish bowling on Flat pitches. Not just today the first innings bowling was woeful. Broad and anderson have had no back up. Woakes and stokes have been a complete waste of time and the inconsistent moeen is back this test match. Not looking good for Australia.

It's a big shame for englund to loose a test match to Windies & that also at their own turf. I know they will make stupid excuses or talk about other teams to deviate their nasty humiliation

RALLLLYYYYYY....RALLLYYYY ROUND THE WEST INDIES.... top top top notch

Broad been rubbish too. Apart from anderson with the new ball in the first innings all been woeful.

Gwarn the Windies. In years of despair, a win like this give them slight hope (no pun intended) for a decent crack at keeping Test cricket alive. Also confirms why it's the best format of the game. Before start of play, England were reasonably confident of wrapping the game up but a brilliant innings from Hope put end to it

First Test win in England in 17 years for the Windies - great turn around from the first game. Now I've said that, they may end up losing the next test by an innings

Excuse my english cos its second language to me. Pretty soon we will have a professor in da house to give his farting advice..

What a win for WI. This is looking like a pretty decent team. Not as bad as people have suggested last week.

By the standards of test cricket recently, wi have won a test in UAE, they won one against Pak in WI, and now this one. Pretty decent given they are all pretty Young and a new team

Root gonna hide now in his roots. His decision to declare early will haunt him real bad. He took Windies too lightly given they played lot better than last test. They scored over 400+ in first innings and got a decent lead too. He should have been more careful. This is where I tend to agree with Cooky type tactics but it depends on match situation and how the other team performed especially in first innings.

Another breaking news.. Rooty thinking about giving up captaincy laugh>

In the last year or so England have got some very nasty records. Scored 2 450+ scores in India and lost and in this match as well scored 490 and still lost.

Jones has to come back for woakes next test, Wesley has to go and hales to come in at 3.

Fack sakes...some right drama queens on here...

Give the windies credit where it's due...they got fackin spanked in the last one...excellent reply
