England vs West Indies 2020, 1st Test, Day 04-Twitter Reactions
Published - 12 Jul 2020, 01:59 AM | Updated - 23 Aug 2024, 09:39 AM
Death, taxes and a good old England collapse are one of the few constants in life, and this fact was once again proved to the hilt as the visitors last 5-35 in the final session to hand West Indies the advantage at stumps [an overall lead of 170], finishing at 8-284 on what was an enthralling day of Test match cricket.
Starting the day at 0-35, English openers Rory Burns and Dominic Sibley picked off where they had left, ensuring that hosts went unscathed in the opening hour of the fourth day.
But, as it would eventually become a theme, England lost a wicket to a relatively harmless ball against the run of play. Roston Chase provided West Indies their first wicket when Rory Burns [42 off 104 balls] cut a wide delivery straight to John Campbell at backward point.
WAS THIS A NO-BALL? ?
He eventually got his man, but here's a look at that initial Gabriel wicket that was called a no-ball… what do you think?

Joe Denly and Dom Sibley went on to blunt another 15.2 overs for 41 runs. Sibley complied a well-crafted half-century but then saw himself dismiss twice in a space of three balls. While he has reprieved courtesy a Shannon Gabriel after he dragged it straight on his stumps, he ran out of luck when he strangled down the leg-side.
Joe Denly’s penchant for not converting his starts into a substantial innings was once again on full show as he chipped another innocuous delivery from Roston Chase to Jason Holder.

Ben Stokes and Zak Crawley carefully blunted the remaining overs to ensure the home side did not lose any more wicket before the Tea break.
Post the tea break, Ben Stokes [46] played some sumptuous drives. The English captain accumulated 98 runs for the 4th wicket but just as it looked England were slowly starting to get into ascendency, captain Holder once again got his counterpart to give the West Indies a much-needed reprieve.
SIX DOWN! Buttler is next to go for 9, as Joseph sends his leg stump flying. England 265-6 now, just 151 ahead:

Jos Buttler’s [9] struggles with the bat as he saw his stumps shattered by Alzarri Joseph courtesy a loose drive. Joseph could have got Bess too but for the dropped catch from Shane Dowrich.
Gabriel wasn’t done yet as he dislodged Ollie Pope’s stumps with a shortish delivery which nipped back past his defenses. Mark Wood and Jofra Archer blunted out the remaining overs to end an intriguing day of five-day cricket.

That was a very damning Third Man package by Nick Knight on Jos Buttler. A good technique is a technique that works for the player in question but Buttler's right now isn't working for him & that head position—falling over to the off side—is rare amongst top Test players. #<!---->E<!---->N<!---->G<!---->v<!---->W<!---->I
