The series is set up very nicely. With each team out performing the other in one match each third test is set to become quiet humdinger!

Looking forward to an exciting finale t the series. I am cheering for Calypso? Who are you cheering for?

WI have lost their way spectacularly after starting strongly OR Eng have found their feet after a clueless start.

What do you think it is?

Both your hypothesis could be true! :grinning:

Maybe the first test was a warmup match for England. Also, in the first Test, Stokes was the captain filling in for Joe Root and from 2nd test Root resumed his role. I wonder if change in captaincy made a difference!?

Would still love to see West Indies put up their best tomorrow!
