Title: England v West Indies
Post by: jeremyp on July 11, 2024, 11:04:46 AM: England had a good start yesterday, but I'm more confused about the BBC's headline today

England extend lead over West Indies on day two

At the time I took the screenshot, they had only just started and hadn't scored any more runs.

Thanks for confirming that. I saw that and thought there had been no runs scored, or that possibly I had thought it was 189 when it had been 185 or higher at close but no.

Innings victory but not quite the full fairy tale.

Absolutely fabulous cricketer.

It just feels odd. And yes, going well. Hoping that Pope or Brook go on to make a century as getting out between 50 and 100 was frequent in the last test.
