Well played the WIndies ... an absolute gem of a Test Match!
And I unequivocally withdraw all my derogatory opinions of the WIndies from five posts above.
These guys have earned their keep in the top drawer of test cricket... and I will eat humble pie!
Brathwaite and Hope, two young WIndies batsmen who showed immense concentration, focus and determination - not to mention sheer bloody guts - to take the WIndies home to a memorable win.
England did their best ... but their best was not good enough.
However, no shame on Root, whose sporting declaration went a long way to making this test match truly memorable.
Well done the WIndies, and roll on Lord's ....
