Joss Butler has dropped two dollies. He too should be dropped it must be so frustrating for the bowlers who have worked so hard for little reward.

It must be frustrating and disheartening. The game is getting away from us now, Windies 85 runs ahead with 4 wickets still remaining. Not looking good.

Bowled quite well today and with a bit more luck and some sharper fielding could have had them back in the pavilion by now. Curran was the exception he's utterly toothless on these pitches and needs to work on getting his pace up by 5/6 mph to have longevity in the test match format.
The Windies application with the bat put our lot to shame, they couldn't dig in like that if their lives depended on it. This game and the series has gone.....

It may be frustrating for the bowlers, but they get over it. These guys are professional this is what they do for a living and on central contracts of £700k apart from IPL and endorsements. Of course catches get dropped they are only human after all but what I witnessed today by Butler was amateur hour.

What word would you use to describe this England team?! Gutless? Inept? Embarrassing?.. Probably all 3.

Utterly pathetic performance - it'll be interesting to hear the excuses being trotted out yet again - sorry my mistake, no it won't as it'll be the usual bullshit !
A complete and utter shambles of a performance in each test so far. Windies win by 10 wickets ! Series now lost !

Wow. Gutless, overrated show ponies.
Flash the bat for a few nice fours and then give their wickets up without a fight. Utterly pathetic, they’re lucky the Barmy Army weren’t booing them off the pitch.......

It's not really the best of times to be a Stoke City supporter with a passion for the England test team is it?
Let the good times roll...

A bunch of posh boys running about has limited emotional appeal. It's football or cricket for me. And darts... Obviously!

I am a Wales fan, probably because my dad was Welsh and I grew up watching the great 70's side. I feel the same about England, but have to admit they were very good yesterday.

In Wales, Rugby Union is not a public / grammar school sport which it was where I grew up in England. Which explains why such a small country is so powerful. It is a national sport there.

It's just so depressing isn't it. Jennings has shown he's not been up to the task or he wouldn't have been dropped for the last test but who else is there to bring in ?

8-0 after break for rain.
Jennings lucky just before the break as he nicked a ball which fell just short of the slips.
