So with cricket making a comeback after a long gap of 117 days, we had England playing against West Indies in the first game. Ben Stokes’ team won the toss at Southampton and elected to bat first. Now the hosts lost their first wicket within the first three overs the Three Lions in the form of Dominic Sibley. The opener made way into the pavilion for the score of a duck. Now, this surely did not go down well with the netizens and they trolled Sibley mercilessly for the same. England vs West Indies Live Score Updates 1st Test 2020 Day 1.
Talking about the delivery, it was Shannon Gabriel who was handling the bowling attack and he bowled outside off. The batsman left the delivery and much to his horror, the delivery disturbed the furniture. The batsman made way into the pavilion for the score of a duck. Post this, Sibley was trolled mercilessly for the way he got out on. You can check out the video and the tweets below:
