 Dominic Sibley and Ben Stokes are batting brilliantly and the two have brought up 200 plus runs on the board for the hosts. The hosts are in a deriver's seat and what Windies need is a couple of wickets which would actually bring them back into the game.

Ben Stokes brings up careful 50 with a FOUR three fours and one sixes. He took 119 balls to bring up his half-century. A good partnership between the two batsmen.

Ben Stokes is the new batsman in for England. Meanwhile, Dominic Sibley is nearing his half-century. Important for England that Sibley plays a big innings here. Stokes is looking in good touch as well.

16 Jul, 20:01 (IST)

OUT! Change in bowling does the trick. Just when things started to look good for England, Alzarri Joseph removed England captain Joe Root. The batsman goes for a drive, ends up edging it to Jason Holder at second slip. J Root c Holder b Alzarri Joseph 23(49)

16 Jul, 19:27 (IST)

The partnership between Dominic Sibley and Joe Root is now worth 33. West Indies will be looking to pick another wicket here and put England in some trouble. Though, the home side still needs a good stand to come out of initial slump.

16 Jul, 19:10 (IST)

Joe Root is the new batsman in. He and Dominic Sibley will have a role to play now. The home side needs one good partnership to bail them out of this initial jolt.

16 Jul, 18:42 (IST)

OUT! Roston Chase strikes again! He does it on both sides of lunch. First Rory Burns and now Zak Crawley. He gets an inside edge and the ball goes towards Jason Holder at leg-slip. Z Crawley c Holder b Roston Chase 0(1)

16 Jul, 18:03 (IST)

OUT! Spin does the trick! Roston Chase picks a wicket on his second ball. He traps Rory Burns in front of the wickets. The batsman opted for DRS and it is in vain. Not a wicket-taking delivery but Burns falls to it. With this players take the lunch break. R Burns lbw b Roston Chase 15(35)

16 Jul, 17:46 (IST)

This has been a good start for England thus far. Rory Burns and Dominic Sibley have played basic cricket and it is working. In search of a wicket, Jason Holder has used four bowlers so far, including himself.
