Why is this test being played at OT?

Bio-secure ground, all players and staff can stay in the ground during the Test at the hotel complex.

Great fightback from England after being 120-4.
Still think rain will decide this one, but if we can get 400, could be interesting final couple of days.

50 for Broad! :D
Only took 33 balls, the fifth-fastest in English history!
A fantastic knock that has got England right back in this match =D> =D>

Woakes, promoted to No. 7, out for 1 :lol:

Off for bad light yet again without insisting or offering the chance for a spinner to bowl.

Is it that difficult to put some part of the foot behind the line?

West Indies probably would've avoided the follow-on but Woakes had Holder caught brilliantly by Pope yet he had overstepped. Such a waste.

No such problems for Broad - a five-for to go with his lightning-quick 50!! :D

Subtitle : ZAMBO, YOU ARE THE UMPIRE .
As Old Trafford are allowing a limited 1000 strong crowd, when a batsmen hits a six into the stands,
it is common practice for the crowd to try and catch the ball.
Should the spectators allow the ball to land on their heads or force the umpire to call for a new ball (which affects the game)
to avoid Covid-19 being passed onto the bowler, and possibly the rest of the team ?
