He also bowled 3 overs of spin during P3 lol
I know it's easy to say now, but I think it was a mistake to replace Stokes with a batsman rather than a bowler. If Moeen or even Rashid were out they then could probably be replaced by batsmen, but unless it's jagging then England need their four seamers IMO. There'd be absolutely nothing wrong with a 7-11 of Woakes, Willey, Rashid, Plunkett and Ball either. Stokes is probably going to continue to be out moving forward, so it's something they need to change.

Would suck if this match was robbed of a conclusion. Pretty harsh on the Windies.
Despite being a fully paid up member of the glass half empty club - nah, 90 odd off 80 odd these days when you bat deep the way England do? Game had already moved well away from them.

It only moved away from them during the Buttler-Moeen partnership. Had been a pretty see-saw game up until then, so you never know. Sure we were favourites but it's a shame it couldn't go all the way.

Think we were faves, but one wicket would change that, more a shame for the spectators than Windies, Jos and the Beard in full flow was fun.
