1st test, England almost collapsed but rallied for a solid 377, now we're coming to the close of the second day and our debut boy, Graham Onions is looking for a five-fer off his debut outing - outstanding bowling from the lad, he's had it bouncing and turning and the Windies are rattled.
right now, with an early tea behind them because of bad light (which the Windies almost took the ump's hand off for, following Smith & Chanderpaul going to consecutive balls from Swann) they're sitting on 137/9 with Broad and Onions bowling.
We could have this innings wrapped up tonight, get a fresh start tomorrow morning and slog some runs out, but it does appear to be turning into much more the bowlers pitch as the ground starts to rough up.
'mon Graham!! Get number 5 and you can be even prouder and popular
