00:00:11...
00:00:12...76 now for vintage cricket between the Windies and England.
00:00:16It's day one of the first test as Viv Richards and his men begin to emerge as a world cricketing
00:00:21powerhouse.
00:00:23Welcome all to ESPN Classic.
00:00:44The opening day of the first test match of the series between West Indies and England began at Trent Bridge
00:00:49in cool overcast conditions.
00:00:51Not bad conditions for bowling actually and I suppose when Tony Gregg lost the toss to Clive Lloyd that he
00:00:57wouldn't have been all that unhappy.
00:00:58It's likely there'd be some movement in the air and off the seam for his quick bowlers.
00:01:02He had the benefit of having Alan Nott in the side.
00:01:05Roger Tolshard was left out of the originally nominated side for England when Nott declared himself fit.
00:01:10And the West Indians went in without Michael Holding.
00:01:13He was left out with suspected glandular fever.
00:01:15They played Wayne Daniel and they went into the match without a spinner.
00:01:19We join play now with Mike Hendrick bowling the second over the day and the batsman is Gordon Greenwich.
00:01:29It's a short one above ball in fact.
00:01:33Really chasing it but no chance of stopping it.
00:01:45Short again. Hooked away down the deep long leg.
00:01:49Running very quickly onto that.
00:01:51Coming back for the second.
00:01:53A good run in there to take the first one quickly.
00:01:56Enabling him to come back for two.
00:02:02Snow to Fredericks.
00:02:06It's all the way through there.
00:02:08Steel no chance of coming up.
00:02:10Little nick.
00:02:12Not a possible chance to Alan Nott.
00:02:21Going well, well wide of the diving keeper there.
00:02:25But you can see the depth of that West Indies bat in there with Viv Richards.
00:02:29This great player to come in three.
00:02:30Kelly Turan, Lloyd, Murray.
00:02:33Young Gomes, his first test appearance.
00:02:35Bernard Julian low down in the order there.
00:02:38Such a good player.
00:02:39Holder, Roberts and the Daniel making up the pace attack.
00:02:46That's off an edge again.
00:02:48And coming around.
00:02:49So they get a single.
00:02:50And I rather fancy John Snow won't mind that.
00:02:5225 minutes.
00:02:53He's been bowling at the left-hander.
00:02:55Quite sure he'd like to have a little crack at the right-hander.
00:02:58Whilst there's still plenty of shine on the ball.
00:03:02That's dropping short of slip.
00:03:03Catching the outside edge.
00:03:04No chance again.
00:03:06Hendrick there at slip.
00:03:07But the ball pitching some two yards in front of him.
00:03:17Snow to Greenwich.
00:03:22That's a bad one.
00:03:23A short one.
00:03:23And this boy thrives on anything short.
00:03:26Long hop halfway down.
00:03:28Hammered unmercifully through the offside there by Greenwich.
00:03:32And there are the two boys from Antigua.
00:03:34And their supporters Andy Roberts and Vivian Richards.
00:03:37Both came over here in the late teens.
00:03:40A lot of coaching at North Gilbert's school before going into first-class cricket.
00:03:50And again it's a short one which Greenwich powers away without any bother at all.
00:03:57And the England bowlers really must keep it up to Greenwich.
00:04:00His weakness is against the one pitched up.
00:04:03Anything short on these English pitchers.
00:04:06He puts away in no uncertain manner.
00:04:15Outside off Stump.
00:04:16It's a confident shout but he's playing a stroke.
00:04:20The ball pitching outside off Stump and I suspect he was also across and outside.
00:04:28Yep.
00:04:36John Edwards just caught him.
00:04:38A good catch that.
00:04:40My word he took that beautifully.
00:04:42It was a firm hit.
00:04:44And Mike Henrick has taken the first wicket for England on this cloudy morning at Treadbridge.
00:04:4936 for one West Indies with Grenades the man out.
00:04:53He wasn't quite over that forcing stroke on the offside.
00:04:56Tried to hit it through point and got it a little bit late.
00:05:00And there it is again.
00:05:03It landed reasonably short.
00:05:05Grenny's not over it.
00:05:07You can see him cramp for room there.
00:05:08And John Edwards took a neat catch.
00:05:11Waist height at Gully.
00:05:25Hold to Richards.
00:05:28Short.
00:05:29Beautifully put away.
00:05:31First really bad ball that Chris Holders bowled.
00:05:39And Richard's there so quick making Chris Holders look almost like a slow off spinner.
00:05:51Walvo.
00:05:53Really good ball there from Chris Holders.
00:05:56And Richard's beaten again.
00:06:04That's safe and very, very fortunate for Vivian Richards.
00:06:11He started off for the hook there.
00:06:13I don't think it was all that short.
00:06:16Not short enough to be hooked.
00:06:18That's been having a look at it now.
00:06:20It's not very far from that spot.
00:06:23Back to where Richards was batting.
00:06:25It was just short of a good length.
00:06:39Didn't quite mean that.
00:06:40That's a beautiful field by Close.
00:06:58Beautiful stroke.
00:06:59Half century partnership.
00:07:01It went through Brian Close.
00:07:03That it was hit very powerfully.
00:07:07Tony Gregg to Roy Fredericks.
00:07:14Once again that's through the gap.
00:07:15Chased by Brearley.
00:07:16It's bringing up the 100.
00:07:17And it's going to beat Brearley through.
00:07:22So the arrival of Gregg and Woolmer at medium pace.
00:07:26Has seen a change in the outlook too of Roy Fredericks.
00:07:29Started to proceed with a lot more confidence now.
00:07:33Moves into the 40s.
00:07:34Brought up the 100 for his side.
00:07:37164 minutes.
00:07:40Quite an acceleration here since lunch.
00:07:43Last 50 of scum in 59 minutes.
00:07:52Played and missed there.
00:07:56There surely has got to be the tactic of Tony Gregg and Bob Woolmer
00:08:00to attack these West Indians on and around the off stump.
00:08:08Woolmer to Richards.
00:08:12Good ball.
00:08:14Tossed high in the air by Alan Knott.
00:08:16Asking for a catch.
00:08:17Brought absolutely no response from one by Tom Spencer at the far end.
00:08:22It's a useful ball.
00:08:23It cut away quite sharply off the pitch.
00:08:33And that's it.
00:08:34Just caught.
00:08:36Nicely taken at second slip.
00:08:37And the ploy has worked off.
00:08:39Greatly successful.
00:08:40Pecker in that off stump.
00:08:42He's found the outside edge and Hendricks taking a smart catch at second slip.
00:08:49That's really what Tony Gregg had been working for right throughout that over.
00:08:53Looking for an indiscretion there outside the off stump.
00:08:56Fredericks who'd allowed two or three to go harmlessly by in the end.
00:08:59Couldn't resist having the little push.
00:09:02Getting an outside edge and very smartly taken at second slip.
00:09:06So the second West Indian out.
00:09:07Roy Fredericks going for 42.
00:09:10With a total on 105.
00:09:2042 is Roy Fredericks top score on this tour so far.
00:09:25And he's got to be a little bit disappointed.
00:09:27Thinking he'd weathered that early storm.
00:09:30And started to look for some runs.
00:09:37So at 105 for two.
00:09:39The second wicket going down.
00:09:40Tony Gregg the bowler.
00:09:42And as you can see he bowed very wide.
00:09:44Really no need for him to play at it.
00:09:46If he'd middled it he wouldn't have got any runs for it.
00:09:49And Hendricks taking the catch at slip.
00:09:59No word he misses very little that short of a length.
00:10:03Barely cracking that through mid wicket.
00:10:06Each time any English bowler has dropped short to Richards he's in position so quickly.
00:10:14All the time in the world to hit this ball well in front of square.
00:10:31Short again.
00:10:34He must surely learn his lesson.
00:10:38He's never bowled short to a West Indian batsman.
00:10:41Particularly on a slow pitch such as this.
00:10:43Early sting has gone out of the wicket here now.
00:10:45And it looks absolutely ideal for batting.
00:10:4933rd test match this for the little left-hander up the far end.
00:10:54And then he really has got a fine test record.
00:10:57Average is almost 52 in test matches.
00:11:05Short again.
00:11:06And similar sort of treatment.
00:11:08And another boundary.
00:11:11Three times now Bob Woolmer has dropped it short to Richards.
00:11:15And three times he's put him away through the identical position.
00:11:27That's a good on-drive too by Richards.
00:11:31And each time Bob Woolmer has strayed from that necessary length and line.
00:11:36Richards has been so quick to put it away.
00:11:38Takes three there which brings him on to 50.
00:11:40Keeping up this wonderful run he's had in test matches.
00:11:54That short pulled away again.
00:11:57Richards has never yet missed out on this short ball.
00:12:09What a fine shot.
00:12:12No apparent at all that.
00:12:15Timed beautifully.
00:12:18And just flicked away with a turn of the wrist.
00:12:31Shot.
00:12:31And pretty well fielded by Hendrik.
00:12:33He got the hand to it and took quite a bit of the pace off it.
00:12:36It's still going to go for four.
00:12:39But he did well to get down to it and get a touch on it.
00:12:42It was a fine stroke from Richards.
00:12:47It's one of his most powerful shots today.
00:12:51Hit it on the up.
00:12:52Hit it.
00:12:56Hit it.
00:12:59Hit it.
00:13:00Hit it.
00:13:06Hit it.
00:13:06a toss and fourth.
00:13:08Underwood not over the get1
00:13:09but so 8 minutes over for two spanking drives from Vivian Richards.
00:13:44A good shot.
00:13:46Beautiful straight bat.
00:13:53Classic straight drive.
00:13:59That's four great shots in that over. Not least of them,
00:14:04one from the last delivery. The full flow of the bat
00:14:09and between the batsman and the umpire at the bowlers end.
00:14:19Easy single there on the lakeside to Jon Snow.
00:14:34West Indies winning the toss, 149 for two.
00:14:40And it's around 11.
00:14:43Which is 66.
00:15:00Off the edge. Thick edge. No chance.
00:15:03And that defeats David Steele down on the third man boundary.
00:15:20As Tony Greger has been plugging away, just on and outside the left-handers off stump.
00:15:27He's built quite effectively from this pavilion end.
00:15:30He's faced now with Viv Richards.
00:15:34He's looked to be in really fine form.
00:15:37He's on 72 now out of the score of 160.
00:15:45Hammered away and mercifully through the offside.
00:15:51Really hit with tremendous power.
00:15:54And the feature of his play here this afternoon.
00:15:58Anything at all short has certainly got the full treatment.
00:16:03Interposition. Beautiful interposition.
00:16:05Full follow through of the bat.
00:16:08Chris Olde at the far end.
00:16:10To bowl now.
00:16:11His 15th over of the Indians.
00:16:19And that's a great catch.
00:16:20Now it's in and out.
00:16:22Looked initially as though England captain was going to cling on to it.
00:16:27In anybody else.
00:16:28I don't think we would have laid a hand on it.
00:16:30But all the six foot seven height of Greg there.
00:16:33Coming into action.
00:16:39Richards on 79 facing Greg.
00:16:47Quite where he intended it.
00:16:49Stood up a little bit.
00:16:52Chose for David Steele.
00:16:53Cut it off.
00:16:54It should be three runs here.
00:17:11No need to run for that one.
00:17:13Over pitch ball.
00:17:15Big wide gap there between the bowler and mid on.
00:17:18Richards finds it.
00:17:20Takes four more.
00:17:23His 14th boundary.
00:17:25And moves his score on now to 86.
00:17:35Oh, what another good shot.
00:17:41Really was a fine shot that.
00:17:43Fully admittedly.
00:17:44But beautifully placed.
00:17:46Perfectly put away by.
00:17:47Viv Richards.
00:17:49Close to him.
00:17:50Yet another hundred.
00:17:53Going on the defensive here.
00:17:55Slip been removed.
00:17:56Extra cover.
00:17:59Something more like a Sunday afternoon feel now.
00:18:01Three on the off.
00:18:02Three on the on.
00:18:06And that's short again.
00:18:07And it's getting the same sort of treatment.
00:18:10Quite incredible.
00:18:13It really is.
00:18:14Six times he's dropping halfway down.
00:18:16And six times he's been put away for four.
00:18:22And John Snow's had a fair old rest back in the attack at the far end.
00:18:27And he likes to bowl here at Trent Bridge.
00:18:30Coming slightly down the hill here.
00:18:32On the Radcliffe Road.
00:18:36And a bowl at Caligaran with two slips.
00:18:47And that's four runs.
00:18:50Wide half-volley.
00:19:11What a way to go to the hundred.
00:19:13A really superb shot.
00:19:15Half-volley pitch round about next time.
00:19:17Barely clattered again through that onside.
00:19:19A magnificent hundred by Viv Richards.
00:19:22Bringing some more glory to the Antiguans who are here in full support of him today.
00:19:29Century coming in 212 minutes.
00:19:3217 boundaries in it.
00:19:33And quite an array of glorious shots.
00:19:38Already 600 in Tasmuch Cricket.
00:19:41And his fifth since January the 1st this year.
00:19:50Safe again.
00:19:51Through that gully area.
00:19:53And before runs was a no ball called by Tom Spencer as well.
00:19:57And the hundred stand comes up between Richards and Caligaran.
00:20:14And Caligaran.
00:20:17That's well bowled.
00:20:19I think he was going to give that a flash through mid-wicket.
00:20:22Almost irrespective of where it pitched.
00:20:26Caligaran is on 27.
00:20:33Richards who has strike now.
00:20:35On 115.
00:20:40It's in the air but it's quite safe.
00:20:42And a little feet underwood into the boundary.
00:20:45He really hit that one on the up.
00:20:48There's no waiting there for the half volley.
00:20:53He gave it a really good thump.
00:20:56And what a lovely way to reach your 1,000 runs in a current year.
00:21:07Great shot.
00:21:09He very quickly onto that.
00:21:12So he tried to dig it in.
00:21:16Cut it around.
00:21:18Didn't really bother to get his feet into position.
00:21:22Just watch the feet.
00:21:24Just a little shuffle with the left foot which he rocks onto.
00:21:28Looks like he might be a little bit off balance.
00:21:30But the ball coming off the pitch so slowly made up for that.
00:21:43Great shot.
00:21:44What a magnificent stroke.
00:21:47Well, that is the stroke of the day.
00:21:52Wasn't a bad ball.
00:21:57And he just hit it straight over the extra cover boundary for six.
00:22:02Picked it up beautifully.
00:22:04Lovely free swing of the bat.
00:22:12That's just wide.
00:22:13Great effort there.
00:22:15Would have been a stupendous catch if he could have clung onto it.
00:22:19Took off.
00:22:19Great diving leap to his right.
00:22:21Got two hands to it.
00:22:22And he's getting a very generous round of applause.
00:22:25Not only from the crowd but from Underwood as well.
00:22:28Who appreciated this great effort by Hendrik to try and snap up.
00:22:32A really difficult chance.
00:22:34Hit again with tremendous power.
00:22:38And an England goalkeeper would have been proud of that dive.
00:22:46Toss high in the air.
00:22:48Pulled away to mid-wicket by Kelly Turan.
00:22:56Continues tomorrow at 6.30 on ESPN Classic.
00:23:03Edge just wide asleep.
00:23:04Not far away from a catch there.
00:23:06Outside edge.
00:23:07He meant to nudge it in that direction.
00:23:09Looking for the single to get his 50.
00:23:10He gets two and he goes on to 51.
00:23:17In a supportive role.
00:23:19This afternoon played by Alvin Kerry Turan.
00:23:21Quite happy and content to proceed.
00:23:23Take the occasional boundary.
00:23:25But nudge the singles.
00:23:27Well that is a very powerful position for the West Indians to be in.
00:23:31The loss of just two wickets.
00:23:33Fredericks caught Hendrik bowled Greg 42.
00:23:35And Greenwich caught Edrich bowled Hendrik 22.
00:23:37And Richards 143 with Kelly Turan 52.
00:23:40Kelly Turan very definitely playing for tomorrow.
00:23:43He wasn't going to throw his wicket away this evening.
00:23:45And he kept the thumb right on Vivian Richards.
00:23:47And made sure he continued to concentrate.
00:23:50Very very good batting pitch.
00:23:51There are plenty more runs there for the West Indians tomorrow.
00:23:54And I suspect also there will be plenty of runs for the England batsmen.
00:23:57No real joy there for the bowlers today.
00:23:59They stuck to it pretty well.
00:24:00They tried to contain the West Indians rather than worrying a great deal about bowling them out.
00:24:05And from that point of view they succeeded.
00:24:07They kept it around about three runs and over.
00:24:09But a long line up there of powerful players for the West Indies.
00:24:14Still to come in and still to take to the England bowlers.
00:24:17And I should think the scoring rate will accelerate fairly rapidly tomorrow.
00:24:22274 for two.
00:24:23It's a great position.
00:24:24Good batting throughout the day.
00:24:26Solid batting.
00:24:26Perhaps a little more solid than we're used to from the West Indian players.
00:24:30And the overriding impression that I'll keep from the first day of this series between West Indies and England.
00:24:35The absolute brilliance of Vivian Richards.
00:24:38I saw him play in Australia.
00:24:39He played magnificently out there towards the end of the series.
00:24:42I missed him in the Caribbean when he played against India.
00:24:44It's worth coming 12,000 miles to see him play again today and to hit an unbeaten 143.
00:25:07The second day of the opening test match at Trent Bridge began in splendid weather conditions.
00:25:12Plenty of sunshine around.
00:25:14Not very much cloud cover which would be disappointing for the England bowlers.
00:25:17John Snow and Mike Hendrick who had the chance of taking the second new ball first thing this morning.
00:25:23274 for two.
00:25:24The West Indians were overnight.
00:25:26Vivian Richards 143.
00:25:28That brilliant innings yesterday.
00:25:29Kalacharan was 52.
00:25:30Well, Tony Gregg gave both John Snow and Mike Hendrick a loosener, one over each,
00:25:35before he allowed Snow to take the second new ball.
00:25:38And here he is now, bowling to Vivian Richards.
00:25:47Derrick Underwood.
00:25:52Two to Vivian Richards to take him on to 150.
00:26:05And there's another four and it's a great shot.
00:26:09Could have gone over the top.
00:26:11Just made it over the rope.
00:26:19The ball.
00:26:36Didn't quite get it in the meat of the bat, but it'll just be Brian.
00:26:42Getting close into the boundary.
00:26:50Takes Vivian Richards now on to 164.
00:26:59Total to 308 for two.
00:27:03Which means the 200 partnership is on the board between Vivian Richards and Alvin Kalacharan.
00:27:12Tony Gregg now bowling to Richards.
00:27:15Tony Gregg now bowling to Richards.
00:27:20Oh, great shot.
00:27:22Beautiful strength.
00:27:38Nice piece of work in the field there.
00:27:40Appealing and giving him out, but the Empire not agreeing with him.
00:27:45The keeper, well known of course for his great speed between the wickets showing how quickly moving the field there.
00:28:00The old head went up there from Richards and wasn't very far away from bowling him.
00:28:11Grisole to the Richards.
00:28:15I need to run for that either.
00:28:18Big gap through mid-on.
00:28:20Over pitch ball and Richards all the way through this innings.
00:28:25Scarsely missed a half fully.
00:28:41Not short, much walloped around there underwood.
00:28:44Just a chance.
00:28:44No, he can't beat it.
00:28:48Didn't quite middle that as well as some of the others, but it still goes through for four.
00:28:54And signs that there is little pace in it.
00:28:57Just looking at the position that Brian Close has taken up at slip.
00:29:00He's gone in almost to a second slip position there.
00:29:06No one usually finds.
00:29:07The slower the wicket, the squarer the slip can afford to go.
00:29:10On a quicker wicket he would have to be much finer and much nearer the wicket-keeper with the ball
00:29:14coming off.
00:29:15A lot more quickly than it will do on this one today.
00:29:25That's not too far away.
00:29:28Just half a dozen inches away from closest left hand.
00:29:51It's chopped away in the middle of that a bit better this time.
00:29:56And the outfield which has quickened up considerably today.
00:29:59Doing its work, providing Cali Turan with another boundary there.
00:30:05Lovely stance and good grip.
00:30:09Beautiful method all told.
00:30:15When he attacks.
00:30:24Brian Close.
00:30:28That would have been very near.
00:30:30A very near thing for Richards.
00:30:32He's gone past the 192 now.
00:30:35That's his highest score in Test cricket.
00:30:36But it must have been desperately close at the end.
00:30:40With Brian Close coming in fast.
00:30:45Oh yes.
00:30:46I think there would have been a shout for that.
00:30:52And umpire Spencer ready now for him to proceed.
00:30:55The first ball after lunch.
00:30:56Snow to Cali Turan.
00:31:00And that's a short.
00:31:02Loosener.
00:31:02And that's beating David Steele.
00:31:08Well I think Richards would have liked that one on 196.
00:31:11But Cali Turan dealing with it very firmly.
00:31:14Moving on to 89.
00:31:18Well that's short.
00:31:19That's it.
00:31:21Friendly offering on 196 MI World by John Snow.
00:31:25Pitching it halfway down.
00:31:28One of tremendous performances by Vivian Richards.
00:31:32200 in a Test match on this ground.
00:31:35Following in the footsteps of the great Frank Warrell and Basil Dutcher before him.
00:31:4528 fours.
00:31:46So many of them with that pull shot or that hook shot.
00:31:49Which took him to 200.
00:31:51Two sixes as well.
00:31:52And of course his first 200 in a Test match.
00:31:57And that's another friendly offering.
00:31:59Halfway down.
00:32:00He hit that even more powerfully.
00:32:02In that big gap between mid-wicket and mid-off.
00:32:11That's a half volley.
00:32:14And just look at the power and timing of this really master batsman.
00:32:19Two great hook shots.
00:32:21A half volley.
00:32:22Driven through the gap.
00:32:23Between mid-off and the bowler.
00:32:26Kelly Turan who's been his support.
00:32:29And good solid support throughout this long partnership.
00:32:31He's on 90 now.
00:32:35He's swung underwood away to deep square.
00:32:38Want to get a single.
00:32:44And the challenge answered.
00:32:46And a terrific shot.
00:32:48Six glorious runs.
00:32:50Right over.
00:32:51Wide mid-off.
00:32:56Well that's Viv Richards.
00:32:58Third six.
00:32:59Hit a tremendous shot yesterday off Derrick Underwood.
00:33:02A very similar direction.
00:33:03That just a fraction straighter.
00:33:11And he's found it through the onside this time.
00:33:14Really another great shot.
00:33:16Clipped away through mid-wicket.
00:33:18Runs absolutely flowing from his back now.
00:33:27And just to show that every shot in the book is his.
00:33:30Wait it for it.
00:33:31Delicate little late cut.
00:33:33And he takes two more.
00:33:40And in the middle of all that furor.
00:33:42The 400 has come up.
00:33:47And Richards has moved on now to 224.
00:33:58Shout for LBW.
00:33:59Swinging across one.
00:34:00Pitching I would have thought round about middle.
00:34:03And of course Derrick Underwood has got to be able to.
00:34:05Straighten the ball up.
00:34:06Bowling from that angle.
00:34:07And one doubts very much whether there's any spin at all.
00:34:10In this wicket.
00:34:10That ball would obviously have gone on with the arm.
00:34:13To miss the leg stamp.
00:34:22It's flicked away.
00:34:25No slip.
00:34:27Right close.
00:34:28Short third man having to run round to the field.
00:34:31And it's two more to Richards.
00:34:38He's down the pitch again.
00:34:39He's had a catch.
00:34:40No it's over the top.
00:34:41Just clearing Mike Hendrick.
00:34:43Not by very much.
00:34:44About a yard over the top.
00:34:45Into the pavilion.
00:34:53See the footwork here.
00:34:54Dancing down the pitch.
00:34:55Full swing of the bat.
00:34:57A great follow through.
00:34:59Hit low and hard.
00:35:00And just clearing Hendrick on the long on boundary.
00:35:11That's in there.
00:35:12It could be a catch this time.
00:35:13Greg's there.
00:35:14And he's made no mistake.
00:35:15Tosses it high.
00:35:19And Richards is out.
00:35:20Greg mobbed there by the field as the first wicket to have fallen today.
00:35:24The end of a sparkle in a superb exhibition.
00:35:28By this brilliant West Indian cricketer Vivian Richards.
00:35:32Giving the bowler a chance.
00:35:34Giving the bowler a chance in the end.
00:35:34Looking for quick runs after he'd passed the double century.
00:35:38And caught by Tony Greg.
00:35:40No bother at all on the long off boundary.
00:35:42For a truly magnificent 232.
00:35:49And adding his name to the long list of great West Indian cricketers we've seen in this country since the
00:35:55war.
00:35:55Weeks.
00:35:55Worrell.
00:35:56Walcott.
00:35:57Sobers.
00:35:58Lloyd.
00:35:59And now Richards.
00:36:00And one can only think we're going to see a lot more of him in the future.
00:36:07Four sixes and 31 fours.
00:36:10In a stay of just over seven hours.
00:36:13High score of his career.
00:36:15And this is how he finally departed.
00:36:19Having hammered Underwood for three sixes.
00:36:22Tries his luck again.
00:36:23And Tony Greg stationing himself on that long off boundary.
00:36:27Absolutely determined he wasn't going to drop that one.
00:36:31So that's the third West Indian wicket going down.
00:36:35The score on 408.
00:36:36And what a sight for English fielders as the big frame of Clive Lloyd.
00:36:42Wends his way out there.
00:36:49He's hoisted that over the top of mid on.
00:36:52On two bounces over the ropes.
00:36:55Taking advantage of this close set field.
00:37:06Ninety-seven to Kalacharan.
00:37:11It's in the air.
00:37:12David Steele.
00:37:13And he's caught it.
00:37:14And what a disappointment for Kalacharan.
00:37:17And well done Underwood who's bowled extremely well.
00:37:20A good ball that.
00:37:22Floated into the air.
00:37:25A little bit slower.
00:37:28Good piece of bowling.
00:37:30And a good innings from Kalacharan.
00:37:32But disappointing that he should throw it away.
00:37:35Just by trying to reach the hundred with.
00:37:37A boundary.
00:37:38Or one over the top.
00:37:40And for some reason.
00:37:42The.
00:37:42Some reason best known to themselves.
00:37:44The ground authorities are allowing.
00:37:46People to rush onto the field.
00:37:49Thought we'd got rid of that.
00:37:50Annoying the batsmen.
00:37:52The place for the spectators is back behind the ropes.
00:37:55And the place for the players is on the.
00:37:57The field.
00:38:00So Kalacharan comes off.
00:38:02Having made ninety-seven.
00:38:04In six hours exactly.
00:38:05Eight boundaries.
00:38:06But only three fours today.
00:38:08He's been suffering a little shoulder trouble today.
00:38:11His battling hasn't been as free as usual.
00:38:13But.
00:38:14His partnership with Vivian Richards.
00:38:16Was very very good.
00:38:18So.
00:38:18It is to be.
00:38:20Bernard Julian.
00:38:22Coming out to bat.
00:38:31I don't think.
00:38:32That came off the edge.
00:38:34There wasn't a movement from close.
00:38:36Or.
00:38:37From the short leg.
00:38:39It was a shout.
00:38:41But I suspect it probably came from the hopeful bowler.
00:38:47David Steele.
00:38:48And there's no need to run for that.
00:38:51That's a magnificent blow.
00:38:53Oh.
00:38:54He really did pick that up right.
00:38:58David Steele saw very quickly.
00:38:59That.
00:39:00It was pointless looking anywhere.
00:39:01But.
00:39:02The marquee.
00:39:05For that particular ball.
00:39:15And that could be out.
00:39:16Hendricks the man under it.
00:39:17And it's a good catch.
00:39:20And again I wish those kids would keep off the field.
00:39:22That's most unnerving for the players.
00:39:26Just look at that.
00:39:30Clive Lloyd.
00:39:30The man dismissed.
00:39:31Out for 16.
00:39:33And the total is 432 for 5.
00:39:39Here's how it happened.
00:39:41It was a full blooded shot.
00:39:43Hendricks judged it pretty well.
00:39:45He was moving away to his left.
00:39:46And had to go back.
00:39:47And he was cramped for room in the end.
00:39:49He caught it round about throat height.
00:40:02And.
00:40:03He's given it.
00:40:05He's given it.
00:40:06And.
00:40:07No doubt there.
00:40:08In Brian Closer's mind.
00:40:10Nor in Derrick Underwoods.
00:40:12That Larry Gomes was out for naught.
00:40:14Inside edge.
00:40:15Onto pad.
00:40:15Little bit of turn there.
00:40:19And.
00:40:20432.
00:40:20432 for 6.
00:40:23So here it is again.
00:40:24And see.
00:40:25It's a little bit of turn from Underwood.
00:40:26This time coming over the wicket.
00:40:28To the left hander.
00:40:29Whereas he's been bowling mostly around the wicket.
00:40:31Inside edge.
00:40:32You can see straight off the edge there.
00:40:34Onto the pad.
00:40:35And.
00:40:35Quite a simple catch to.
00:40:37Brian Closer.
00:40:45Well hit.
00:40:47Good stroke player.
00:40:48By Bernard Julian.
00:40:49And.
00:40:50He's in form.
00:40:51We saw him play some good innings in Australia.
00:40:53One in particular.
00:40:54When he had a broken finger.
00:40:56And.
00:40:57He really did carry the attack to the Australian bowlers.
00:41:06He's gone for the big one.
00:41:08Successfully middled it over the top of mid wicket.
00:41:11And that ball racing away for four.
00:41:15Though slightly slower.
00:41:17Pitched a little bit further up.
00:41:18By Greg.
00:41:19And Julian was onto it very quickly.
00:41:22Double.
00:41:23Double Greg.
00:41:24Double.
00:41:25Double Greg.
00:41:27Double Greg.
00:41:29That's nicely placed.
00:41:31A length forward.
00:41:32Allowed that to come onto him.
00:41:33So he could find the gap on the offside.
00:41:36And those.
00:41:37Two more runs to Bernard Julian.
00:41:39Brings up the 450 for his side.
00:41:49Another excellent crowd here today.
00:41:52And they've.
00:41:52Seen some really scintillating cricket.
00:41:55One more plays.
00:41:55One more.
00:41:57One more.
00:41:59One more.
00:42:00One more.
00:42:01One more.
00:42:02Swung away again to mid wicket.
00:42:05That's gonna beat David Steele quite comfortably.
00:42:09458 for six and Chris Olde burning to Julian
00:42:19and up goes Nott
00:42:21straight to the wicketkeeper
00:42:28and Alan Nott has taken his 200th test match catch
00:42:38so the 7th wicket goes down for 458
00:42:41and England managing to some extent to restore the balance
00:42:45at least West Indies are not running away like an express trade
00:42:55it's John Snow beginning what will be the last over before tea in the batsman van
00:42:59van Holder getting very close to that
00:43:30Snow to Holder
00:43:31and that's out caught by Nott as it didn't carry
00:43:34they go up in the slips but it didn't carry
00:43:37they're asking
00:43:40and Tom Spencer says Nott out
00:43:42and he doesn't bother to ask the square layer gunfire either
00:43:44so Tom Spencer must have been satisfied
00:43:47that it dropped in front of Alan Nott
00:43:50the two English slips went up
00:43:55so Tom Spencer could have been in no doubt at all
00:43:57from his angle
00:43:58and he didn't bother to refer to Harold Byrd at square leg
00:44:03Snow again
00:44:04the batsman holder
00:44:06gives him the bouncer and he swings on it
00:44:08and he gets it for four
00:44:10just behind square on the leg side
00:44:11he played it very well
00:44:14plenty of time
00:44:16this bowler holder
00:44:18to get into position
00:44:21on this now docile pitch
00:44:23and to swing John Snow for four
00:44:34shot
00:44:37David Steele has no chance of picking that up
00:44:52and close is good
00:44:54miscued hook shot
00:44:55not a particularly good delivery
00:44:58but it's picked up John Snow's first wicket
00:45:01at a cost of 116 with Derek Murray not quite getting over the top of
00:45:07that hook shot
00:45:08Brian close
00:45:09taking his catch
00:45:11481 for 8 then
00:45:30good lusty blow from Van Van Holder
00:45:36takes him now to 15
00:45:53and that's the ninth wicket down Chris Olde another success for him
00:45:57he takes his second wicket
00:46:00and the man out is Andy Roberts
00:46:09all the other eight wickets have gone down
00:46:13two catches
00:46:14and Andy Roberts here is the first man to have his stump shattered
00:46:19by an England bowler
00:46:21perhaps a measure of just how good a pitch this is
00:46:26seemed almost to go through the centre of the bat
00:46:32youngest member of the touring party
00:46:34only 20 years of age
00:46:37only played five first class matches before the tour
00:46:41they come on pretty quickly in the west indies
00:46:44they come on pretty quickly in the west indies
00:47:09England lake good Yorker
00:47:14Daniel now facing old
00:47:17and that's right between the two slicks
00:47:23well they couldn't have really placed it better
00:47:24by section first and second slick there away to Greg's right
00:47:28away to Hendricks left
00:47:36and that's it
00:47:37Tostai in the air
00:47:38and a lot to feel
00:47:40answered by Harold Byrd
00:47:41West Indies all out
00:47:43Daniel the last one to go
00:47:45Courtknot
00:47:46Bold Old
00:47:47to wind up
00:47:48a really excellent spell there
00:47:50from Yorkshireman Chris Olde
00:47:54494
00:47:54well that's a daunting total
00:47:56for the England batsmen
00:47:57and the captain
00:47:58Tony Gregg
00:47:58magnificent innings
00:47:59Vivian Richards
00:48:00232
00:48:01Calicharan pretty slow today
00:48:03but a valuable partnership with Richards
00:48:05I understand he had some shoulder trouble today
00:48:07that was restricting his stroke play
00:48:09and the other batsmen losing their wickets
00:48:10in the chase for runs
00:48:12Lloyd 16
00:48:13Julian 21
00:48:15Murray 19
00:48:16Holder 19
00:48:17not out
00:48:17best of the England bowlers
00:48:18in the pace department
00:48:20I thought was Chris Olde
00:48:22he deserved those three wickets
00:48:23for 80
00:48:2334.3 overs
00:48:25and Derek Underwood
00:48:26who I thought was sadly underused
00:48:27on the first day
00:48:28came up today
00:48:29and picked up four wickets
00:48:30and I thought he bowled
00:48:31very intelligently indeed
00:48:34well the England batsmen
00:48:35because of bad light
00:48:37had to face only one over
00:48:38though
00:48:38a little bit lucky there
00:48:39everything was running right
00:48:40for Clive Lloyd
00:48:41the innings finished
00:48:42just about the right time
00:48:43it looked as though
00:48:44he'd have a chance
00:48:45for Roberts
00:48:46and Daniel
00:48:47and Julian
00:48:48and the other medium paces
00:48:49to have a go
00:48:49at the England batsmen
00:48:50in fact
00:48:51just the one over
00:48:52from Andy Roberts
00:48:53a fiery one
00:48:53and one that showed
00:48:55that he's two or three yards
00:48:56quicker than anything
00:48:57England can provide
00:48:58but John Edridge
00:48:59managed to survive it
00:49:00he and Brearley
00:49:01were the two men
00:49:02who came out
00:49:03for England
00:49:04for that three minute
00:49:06spell right at the very
00:49:07end of the day
00:49:07now England have a very
00:49:09very difficult task
00:49:10over the remaining
00:49:11three days of this game
00:49:12they can't win the game
00:49:13I think that's settled now
00:49:15in the sense that
00:49:16they kept West Indies
00:49:18from scoring
00:49:19too quickly today
00:49:20it was a pretty good effort
00:49:21from Tony Gregg
00:49:22and the bowlers
00:49:23and the fieldsmen
00:49:23to fight back
00:49:24in that way
00:49:24but they have got
00:49:25a tremendous rear guard
00:49:27fight on their hands
00:49:28their batsmen have to bat
00:49:29for three days
00:49:31spanning two innings
00:49:32and it's not going
00:49:33to be easy
00:49:33the saving grace
00:49:34for them I think
00:49:35is that there's not
00:49:36a spinner
00:49:36in the West Indian side
00:49:38an all pace attack
00:49:39although that'll be
00:49:39difficult to face
00:49:41people like Roberts
00:49:42and Daniel
00:49:42very fast
00:49:43no spinner
00:49:44and I think
00:49:44the West Indians
00:49:45may well regret
00:49:46by the end
00:49:47of this test match
00:49:47that they went in
00:49:48with an all pace attack
00:50:08the final day
00:50:09of the first test match
00:50:10at Trent Bridge
00:50:11began in the best
00:50:11possible weather conditions
00:50:13for batsmen that is
00:50:13temperature in the mid 80s
00:50:15not a cloud in the sky
00:50:16and the West Indies
00:50:17starting the day
00:50:18at 124 for three
00:50:20Richard was on 42
00:50:22Julian on 13
00:50:23and Clive Lloyd's orders
00:50:24would definitely be
00:50:26for them to go out
00:50:26and make quick runs
00:50:27and so have a declaration
00:50:29sometime around
00:50:30about half an hour
00:50:31from the start of play
00:50:32first ball of the day
00:50:33was bowled by John Snow
00:50:34Bernard Julian
00:50:35was the batsman
00:50:36and Snow was bowling
00:50:37from the pavilion end
00:50:40and that's hammered away
00:50:41to mid on
00:50:41could be a catch
00:50:42of the first ball
00:50:43yes it's well taken
00:50:44by Hendrik
00:50:44and West Indies
00:50:46carrying on
00:50:46as they left off
00:50:48last night
00:50:48in a search here
00:50:49for runs
00:50:50a third wicket
00:50:51for John Snow
00:50:52Bernard Julian out
00:50:54to the first ball
00:50:55of the day's play
00:50:56West Indies score

00:51:13hold to Calicharan
00:51:22two runs there
00:51:23to Alvin Calicharan
00:51:24taking West Indies
00:51:25now to an overall lead
00:51:26of exactly 300
00:51:331-139 for 4
00:51:34Richards on 49
00:51:36Chris Older bowler
00:51:41pushed into the vacant space
00:51:42and the onside
00:51:43far flung field here
00:51:45Richards takes 2
00:51:47and moves through
00:51:48to yet another 50
00:51:5051
00:51:51coming in
00:51:51113
00:51:53113 minutes
00:51:54and following on
00:51:55that fine exhibition
00:51:57he gave in the first innings
00:51:58when he made
00:51:59232
00:52:07Richards facing old
00:52:12he's found a gap
00:52:13on the offside
00:52:14that's going through
00:52:14for 4
00:52:16his first boundary
00:52:17of the morning's play
00:52:18moves his score
00:52:19on to 55
00:52:21John Snow
00:52:22with 3 of the 4 wickets
00:52:23that have gone down
00:52:24bowling to Calicharan
00:52:28swung away
00:52:28out to deep square leg
00:52:29and that goes through
00:52:31for another 4
00:52:33West Indies
00:52:34building their score
00:52:35up now
00:52:35way past 300
00:52:42Calicharan has made
00:52:4310 now
00:52:46swung high
00:52:46in the air
00:52:47it's going
00:52:47over the top
00:52:48of Brearley
00:52:49for 6 runs
00:52:53Tom Spencer
00:52:54still waiting
00:52:54signaling the 6
00:52:55now
00:52:55well clear
00:52:56of Brearley
00:52:57on the deep
00:52:57square leg
00:52:58boundary
00:53:00and Calicharan
00:53:01following that
00:53:02previous boundary
00:53:03with a very big
00:53:046 over square leg
00:53:06score moves
00:53:06on to 150
00:53:08for 4
00:53:14Calicharan
00:53:15with a 6
00:53:16and a 4
00:53:16and is 17
00:53:17facing old
00:53:26Calicharan
00:53:26with 2 6s
00:53:27and a 4
00:53:28and is 23
00:53:30second time
00:53:31he's found his
00:53:32favourite spot
00:53:32over the deep
00:53:33square leg boundary
00:53:38John Edrich
00:53:39a little bit of
00:53:39trouble there
00:53:40I think he's
00:53:40ricked his ankle
00:53:41on the rope
00:53:56hold again to Calicharan
00:53:59hold again to Calicharan
00:54:17Richards who's made
00:54:1860 now
00:54:19facing John Snow
00:54:34snow to Calicharan
00:54:36the left-hander
00:54:37already included
00:54:38two mighty 6s
00:54:39in his 26 runs
00:54:45look in here
00:54:45for the second
00:55:03snow to Calicharan
00:55:19Richards who's made
00:55:2161
00:55:22facing snow
00:55:35last ball
00:55:36last ball of
00:55:37John Snow's over
00:55:38it's 11th of the
00:55:39innings
00:55:42and he's given him
00:55:43out LBW
00:55:44and that could well
00:55:45be the declaration
00:55:46one thinks
00:55:47Allen
00:55:47Calicharan
00:55:48looking up here
00:55:49it's another wicket
00:55:50for John Snow
00:55:52taking West Indies
00:55:53on to
00:55:54five down
00:55:54for 176
00:55:56and Clive Lloyd
00:55:58calling the men
00:55:58338 the lead
00:56:00then
00:56:00339 to win
00:56:01but that's
00:56:02simply an academic
00:56:03target as far as
00:56:04England were concerned
00:56:05Richards a good
00:56:06double
00:56:07double century
00:56:07and 63
00:56:08some lovely strokes
00:56:09from Alvin Calicharan
00:56:10and England left
00:56:11with four and a quarter
00:56:12hours plus 20 overs
00:56:13to make those
00:56:15339 runs
00:56:16or to survive
00:56:17well they opened up
00:56:18with John Edrich
00:56:19and Mike Brearley
00:56:20and here's Andy Roberts
00:56:21now bowling to
00:56:22John Edrich
00:56:29and the principal job
00:56:30now is for
00:56:32Edrich and Brearley
00:56:33out there
00:56:34to give them
00:56:35a sound
00:56:36and a reasonable
00:56:37sort of start
00:56:42that's it
00:56:43well done Mike Brearley
00:56:44turned it nicely
00:56:46off his legs
00:56:46coming back
00:56:47for the second run
00:56:54well I'm sure
00:56:55a great relief
00:56:55to the Middlesex
00:56:56captain
00:56:57it's happened
00:56:58to so many cricketers
00:56:59of course
00:57:00a nought in the
00:57:01first innings
00:57:02of a test match
00:57:14that's a good
00:57:15crisp stroke
00:57:16off his pads
00:57:16and it'll go
00:57:17for four
00:57:17very fast outfield
00:57:19no need to chase
00:57:20that into the crowd
00:57:21that's a good shot
00:57:22from Brearley
00:57:23kept it down
00:57:24well
00:57:25he was hitting
00:57:26the deck
00:57:26some yard away
00:57:27from the bat
00:57:35firm stroke
00:57:37from
00:57:37Edrich
00:57:39Van Van Holder
00:57:41is the man
00:57:41after it
00:57:42took an easy
00:57:43three runs
00:57:58shot
00:58:05holding
00:58:07serving
00:58:08quite a chase
00:58:09out there
00:58:09that's
00:58:09two threes
00:58:10they've run
00:58:11in the server
00:58:25that one
00:58:25moved off
00:58:26the seam
00:58:28slightly
00:58:28four runs
00:58:29there I think
00:58:30for Brearley
00:58:32that jagged
00:58:33back at him
00:58:33very sharply
00:58:40no ball
00:58:41and four runs
00:58:44it's a good shot
00:58:45from John
00:58:45Edrich
00:58:45I don't think
00:58:46he changed
00:58:47his stroke
00:58:47there
00:58:48the call
00:58:48would have
00:58:48been too late
00:58:50and that's
00:58:51a really
00:58:52good firm
00:58:53stroke off
00:58:53the back
00:58:54foot
00:58:54square
00:58:54of the wicket
00:59:06oh
00:59:07it almost picked up
00:59:12Edrich's head
00:59:14and
00:59:15it almost
00:59:15cleaned up
00:59:16Derek Murray
00:59:17as well
00:59:17I don't think
00:59:18Edie's too happy
00:59:19about that
00:59:19and Tom
00:59:20Spencer's not
00:59:21happy about him
00:59:22running down
00:59:22the line
00:59:22of Lake Stump
00:59:28not very pleased
00:59:29at all
00:59:30we're waiting
00:59:31for Vanburn
00:59:32Holder to bowl
00:59:32let's have a look
00:59:33at that again
00:59:33just see how
00:59:35far away it was
00:59:36from Edrich
00:59:36and watch
00:59:37Derek Murray
00:59:37as well
00:59:38because he lost
00:59:38sight of it
00:59:39straight over
00:59:40Edrich's skull
00:59:41and now
00:59:42Murray sets himself
00:59:43but the ball
00:59:43takes off
00:59:46and straight
00:59:47through
00:59:47for four
00:59:47buys
00:59:51Vanburn
00:59:52Holder
00:59:52now
00:59:52to the
00:59:52right-hander
00:59:56that's out
00:59:56that's
00:59:57quite a good
00:59:58catch
00:59:58and a good
00:59:58delivery
00:59:59from Vanburn
00:59:59Holder
01:00:0117 for Braley
01:00:02caught by
01:00:04Murray
01:00:04Bold Holder
01:00:04the first
01:00:05breakthrough
01:00:05for the
01:00:06West Indies
01:00:06and a good
01:00:07ball
01:00:07a leg cutter
01:00:08pitching round
01:00:09about
01:00:10Lake Stump
01:00:13pitching round
01:00:14about off stump
01:00:14I'm sorry
01:00:15and then
01:00:16cutting away
01:00:17finding the
01:00:18outside edge
01:00:19and it's
01:00:19quite a
01:00:19straightforward
01:00:20catch
01:00:20for
01:00:20Derek Murray
01:00:21low down
01:00:22but he
01:00:22took it
01:00:23neatly
01:00:24so it's
01:00:2538 for
01:00:25one now
01:00:35it's a good
01:00:35ball

01:00:59oh
01:01:00gee
01:01:04that
01:01:08really is
01:01:09asking for
01:01:09trouble
01:01:10to try
01:01:10and get
01:01:11out
01:01:11of the

01:01:44think he
01:01:44quite
01:01:44timed it
01:01:45as he
01:01:45wanted
01:01:45but it's

01:03:27there
01:03:27possibly
01:03:27getting
01:03:27the
01:03:28benefit
01:03:28of the
01:03:29ball
01:03:29going
01:03:29over
01:03:29the
01:03:29top
01:03:32and
01:03:32David
01:03:33Steele
01:03:33has
01:03:33ever proven
01:03:34an extremely
01:03:35difficult man
01:03:35to get out
01:03:37so many people
01:03:37at the end of last year
01:03:38said it was a flush in the pan
01:03:40if he ever played cricket
01:03:41on hard wickets overseas
01:03:42he'd struggle
01:03:43so David went to South Africa
01:03:45and quietly averaged 60
01:03:46out there on a private tour
01:03:48in the winter
01:03:52and he's gone for the hook and he's done it again
01:03:56and Roberts has trapped him
01:03:59and David Steele who promised himself he'd cut out the hook shot
01:04:04but always said he was an impulsive hooker and had to go through with it
01:04:08went through with it again
01:04:09didn't connect
01:04:10he's been caught at short square leg
01:04:16forward and then back
01:04:17into position
01:04:18into position pretty well
01:04:20didn't middle it
01:04:24and was picked up there
01:04:26just in front of the umpire
01:04:30so the second wicket going down for England
01:04:34Steele the man to go
01:04:36out for six
01:04:38and England
01:04:39now in a little bit of trouble here
01:04:47and we'll certainly have a battery of close catchers round him now
01:04:55alongside the keeper are three slips
01:04:57two gullies
01:04:58a forward short leg
01:05:00another squary short leg
01:05:03Roberts is keeping a man on the deep long leg boundary
01:05:06just one man on the offside
01:05:07in front of the pitch
01:05:09so Roberts to close
01:05:13and that was a big of a ball for anybody to get the first one
01:05:17Roberts really let that one go
01:05:23had to play it
01:05:26it moved and lifted and was only inches away from
01:05:29flicking Brian close his gloves
01:05:39oh a bold
01:05:40and pretty well played in the end by close
01:05:42he started off being drawn into
01:05:44the defensive stroke
01:05:47and sensed it was going away in the air
01:05:49which is a good performance from Julian
01:05:51to swing it away from the left-hander
01:05:53with twenty-three overs gone
01:06:10this pitch must be biscuit dry by now
01:06:18Rod Fredericks to Brian close
01:06:26single there to Brian close makes that the 11th run scored since lunch in
01:06:31forty-two minutes
01:06:33so perhaps the arrival of these two bowlers will help to
01:06:38make it a little bit more interesting for the spectators
01:06:40push the score along a bit more quickly
01:06:45well there's Edrich taking advantage of a full toss outside the off stump to record another boundary
01:06:57and that should be four more
01:06:59another full toss firmly driven by John Edrich
01:07:01so Edrich helping along is
01:07:04batting average there after a loose over from Roy Fredericks
01:07:09Brian close now facing Julian
01:07:12going through the motions at least of bowling slow
01:07:15left arm leg breaks which will be off breaks to the left-hander
01:07:22and the full toss
01:07:24going straight through Richard's hands for four more
01:07:30so Brian close moves on to ten
01:07:32first six coming in singles
01:07:43and another full toss got this away all right this time
01:07:46very high outside leg stump swung away by close four four
01:07:51so the hundred coming up for England
01:07:54looking very solid and safe now
01:08:01another full pitch found the gap this time
01:08:03and the single that he wanted
01:08:05flicked out to Andy Roberts on the mid-wicket boundary
01:08:08Edrich takes a single goes to yet another fifty for England
01:08:11his fifty has come in just about three hours
01:08:14out of England's score of 104 for two
01:08:25creating the wrong form of entertainment on the side
01:08:29because there's been precious little to entertain them in the middle
01:08:37really nobody's fault it's a pitch that's come out
01:08:39bursting with no chance of chasing those runs and all they could be expected to do
01:08:43was to play for a draw
01:08:46go on to Lords All Square
01:08:47and they've done it pretty successfully with 141 for two
01:08:58and there's four runs there to Johnny Rich
01:09:11and that should be a gift of four runs for him short outside the off stump
01:09:15placed away nicely this time between point and cover point for four
01:09:23I'm trying everything he knows now he's making changes in the field which mean absolutely nothing at all
01:09:30I think he's even moving a few pigeons as well
01:09:41I think he's surprised keeper Murray it's gone through for four byes
01:09:46the umpires are looking at the stumps
01:09:49and to the relief of quite a few people off the ground here
01:09:53they've decided that that's it
01:09:54it's all over smiles from one or two West Indians
01:10:00and the England score moving on to 156 for two
01:10:05and so that four byes enabling Edrich and Close to complete this day with a century partnership
01:10:13and that century partnership must have set the minds of the selectors at rest
01:10:18and certainly must have made Tony Greg a happy man as he talked after the game with Peter West
01:10:23what are the pluses you think England take out of this match and take with them to Lords Tony?
01:10:29I think that whenever you can hold the West Indies
01:10:32you've got a better chance next time round
01:10:34this is what happened when we were beaten 1-0
01:10:37trusty old warriors you've been reported as saying I think Tony
01:10:40that before very long
01:10:43you've been reported as saying a lot
01:10:45that before very long we might well need the offspin of Ray Ellingworth back in the side
01:10:52you've been glad to that?
01:10:53no that's not exactly true actually
01:10:55what I did say was that it might be that we'll need to have an offspinner in the side
01:10:59and Ellingworth is one of five offspiners that I mentioned
01:11:05as sometimes happen the man concerned did write it up and wrote Ellingworth up naturally
01:11:11because I think it's probably the end thing to do now whenever I mention someone who's
01:11:14there's a prettyوا HahnemCER
01:11:18where you wanted to look your muốn
01:11:18and the staff who may be better
01:11:18so what's happening are they this is glory
01:11:19so how many of you are there
01:11:19and what happens is that coming through was there
