Time and overs running out now, what England would give for a blast of Anderson and Broad at the moment, they, in my opinion, would have taken England home in this situation.

Usually I'd agree with you, but on this marshmallow of a pitch? Nah, the only missing bowler who could have made a difference for me is Archer. Having Wood bowling wouldn't have hurt either, but I doubt that would have made a significant difference.

Yes quite right, it's a pudding of a pitch, hopefully Barbados will offer more.
 
Only two results possible, and England bring on Overton for one last throw of the dice, with no slips or gully...
Senseless.

Nobody’s catching an edge on day five on this pitch.

I take your point, but get a couple of slips in mun, even if they have to come up 10 yards, anything is better than saving a few runs 🏃‍♂️
