Plenty to discuss and our team are in place to provide you comprehensive analysis and reaction. Mark Nicholas has already penned his thoughts on Tino Best, George Dobell and Nagraj Gallopudi will be mulling over Ramdin's celebration and Jonny Bairstow among other issues and David Hopps has composed the full report of today's play. That's all for now, join us tomorrow for the concluding day of this series...
And so ends the second day's play and what a day it has been, plenty of action today with Tino Best's whirlwind innings this morning, Denesh Ramdin's unique celebration on scoring a hundred and then Kevin Pietersen's lively knock. The final analysis is that West Indies still have a chance to force a win if they can fire off five quick wickets tomorrow and make England follow on but I must say the forecast ain't good and this game may end how it began, with good weather for ducks.
much better, floated up and Finn forward to block
