WI beat ENG by 381 runs | West Indies vs England, Highlights And Cricket Score 1st Test Match - Commentary

The second new ball changed things for the touring team on Day 1 as Anderson then came to life. He was well supported by Stokes as the pair hunted down 9 wickets between them. England now would like to bat well and big to take a big lead. The wicket does have something on offer for the pacers but is not a bad one to bat on. The home side has 4 good pacers in their ranks and we can surely expect an interesting passage of play here. Stay tuned.

Windies though did manage to add a few handy runs this morning, they will be disappointed with their overall performance. One can say they have finished with a score slightly under par as they should have had a lot more especially after their top order batted well. 40s from their openers and 50-plus scores from Hetmyer, Chase and Hope saw them well-placed at 240 for 4. Although none went on to make it big and the lower order failed to contribute much. As a result, their first innings' total remained under 300.

The English side is seen walking off with happy faces and they are led off the field by the pacer who bagged a fifer here, James Anderson. A standing ovation for him by the crowd and he deserves every bit of it. Meanwhile, England have asked for a light roller.

Ben Stokes to Shimron Hetmyer. OUT! Gone! No hundred for Hetmyer. Caught behind acrobatically by Foakes diving to his left. A fuller length ball on leg and moving away from the lefty, he goes for the full throttle and gives a wild slog. The ball takes the outside edge and it flies to the left of Foakes who takes a lovely catch. Stokes ends with four wickets of his own. WINDIES END ON 289. The last 5 batsmen together have contributed exactly 5 runs from their willows. 3 ducks and the number 11 remained not out on 0. Only Holder got off the mark. An innings that began with a lot of promise ends quite less than what it should have actually gone on to be.

Ben Stokes to Shimron Hetmyer. Aimed at the hips once more, flicked away to fine leg by the southpaw but the single is not taken.

James Anderson to Alzarri Joseph. OUT! There it is. That is the breakthrough and also the fifth wicket for Anderson. The 27th time he has done in Tests. A typical Jimmy wicket, bowls this one on a good length outside off and makes it tail away very slightly. Too good for the number 10 batsman who pokes at the ball. The ball goes to Buttler at third slip in a good height. He pouches it easily and England after a frustrating 10 overs have finally broken through. The stand worth 25 has ended.

Ben Stokes to Shimron Hetmyer. A bumper now on middle, Hetmyer evades it.

SH reviews straightaway. Replays roll in and it shows that there was no bat involved.

Hetmyer has been caught behind and it has been given out by the umpire. There was surely some sort of noise on that but the batsman has taken it upstairs for some reason. Maybe he feels he has not touched it. Let's wait for the replays.

Ben Stokes to Shimron Hetmyer. Length ball on the middle, pushed to cover.

Replays show that there was daylight between the bat and ball though, but it was given as runs.

Ben Stokes to Shimron Hetmyer. Good bouncer! Aims this short delivery on the rib region, Hetmyer is really uncomfortable and tries to fend it off uncomfortably. The ball takes the gloves but luckily, it does not carry to the keeper behind.

After a see-saw first day, it is the visitors who head into Day 2 with their noses in front. They now have two wickets to take and they would look to pick it as quickly as possible. The hosts on the other hand, do have Hetmyer out there. One would expect him to come out and look for some quick runs. The hosts would hope he can take them close to the 300-run mark. The wicket did show signs of quickening up toward the end of yesterday. It will be interesting to see how it plays today.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

What can we now expect on Day 2? England continuing their domination or the Windies fighting back? Well, they still have Hetmyer out there and they would hope he could somehow take them close to the 300-run mark. England on the other hand, will want to wrap this up quickly and then bat well. The wicket played well throughout but showed signs of quickening up towards the end. Windies won't mind that though as they have four pacers in their rank. We witnessed an exciting day of cricket today and we can be in store for another tomorrow. Do join us at 1000 local (1400 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!

For England, it was hard work for their bowlers today. Anderson was exceptional and was the pick of the bowlers with a four-fer. He was well-supported by Stokes who bowled his heart out and ended with a three-fer. The rest though weren't at their best, not only did they struggle to take wickets but also went for runs. It would have been a different story had they bowled well too.

Windies on the other hand will be disappointed with where they have finished Day 1. They won a good toss and elected to bat, everyone in their top order except for Bravo came to the fore. They seemed like they would get a very good first innings score but they needed someone to score a big one. However, their batters failed to do so, everybody got starts but could not covert and 4 wickets for 24 right at the end suddenly finds the hosts in trouble.

This session - 37.3 overs, 132 runs and 5 wickets. What a turnaround we saw in this last session, actually in the last 10 overs I should say. It was all going smoothly for the hosts when Hetmyer and Chase were going along pretty well but then England decided to take the second new ball and then it was all about them. Anderson took three in no time and then Stokes chipped in with one. Barrage of wickets towards the end sees the day belong to the visitors.

Ben Stokes to Kemar Roach. OUT! Stokes strikes now in the last over of the day! A brute of a delivery this one. It is banged in slightly short, takes off after pitching.

He goes full again around off, Holder looks to drive but then checks his shot, maybe because he wasn't to the pitch of the delivery. Ends up chipping it to the right of Anderson who takes a sharp catch in his followthrough. The Windies have completely lost their way here. England now into the tail.

Ben Stokes to Shimron Hetmyer. Fuller one outside off, Shimron drives it straight to the cover fielder.

James Anderson to Shane Dowrich. OUT! In the air... gone! Another one bites the dust and once again, England manage to take two in quick succession. The decision of taking the second new ball is proving to be a master stroke here. The leg cutter from Anderson, it is on middle, it takes off after pitching. Dowrich initially thinks of pulling but then seeing the extra bounce, takes his eyes off the ball. It hits the upper part of the bat and lobs towards the slip cordon.

Sam Curran to Shimron Hetmyer. FOUR! Dismissed! A length ball on the off stump line, Hetmyer just punches it back down towards long on. No one moved. The ball reaches the fence.

The last one came back in sharply, this one goes away and Chase had no answers to it. The length and line is also immaculate. Around off and just behind the driving length. Chase is half forward as he tries to defend. The ball takes the outside edge and goes at a comfortable height to Joe Root at first slip. He takes it with ease. Chase starts walking back but the umpire ask him to wait as they want to check for the no ball. It is just about fine and Chase has to continue his walk back. Another promising stand has been cut short. A good innings from Roston comes to an end. The Windies though would have loved more. Half the side back in the hut for the hosts. Can England pick a couple more before Stumps? 7 overs more to go after this one.

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

The visitors on the other hand, did not look at their best. There was swing on offer earlier for their bowlers but they could not capitalize. Moeen Ali is the sole wicket-taker but has not looked that threatening since. England will hope for a few quick wickets after the break. Do join us to find out who dominates Session 2.

An excellent session for the Windies, everything right from the toss has gone their way till now. They elected to bat and their openers gave them the ideal start adding 53. It was the debutant, Campbell who did majority of the scoring but missed out on a well-deserved half ton.

A full and flighted ball on middle, Campbell goes for the sweep but misses it and gets rapped bang in front of middle. The umpire has no hesitation and raises his finger immediately. The debutant started walking away immediately and with good reason too. It would have been a waste of a review had it been taken as replays show us that it would have hit middle of middle stump. The first one down for the Windies and spin was the reason.

Ben Stokes to Kraigg Brathwaite. FOUR! 50 up! Ideal start by the openers. A boundary to bring up the 50-run stand. It is not off the middle though. No gully however so it races to the fence.

James Anderson to Kraigg Brathwaite. This is comfortably left alone by the batsman as the first hour of play comes to a close.

This would have surely put doubts in the debutant's mind.

TOSS - The Windies won the toss and elected to bat.

Hello and welcome to 1st Test of the three-match series between the Windies and England. The visitors come into this game in very good form in this format, whereas, the hosts are not in the best of touches. They though will want to turn it around starting from this Test, however, it won't be easy against an English side which has started to come into its own under Root's captaincy. They are favourites heading into this game but the Windies can't be ruled out especially in their own backyard.

Windies now lead by 212 when they come out to bat as they HAVEN'T FORCED THE FOLLOW-ON. They are way ahead in this game at the moment and some sensible batting will probably see them bat England out of the match. The visitors, on the other hand, need to do what their opposition's bowlers did to them or one would believe they would not stand a chance in this game. Do join us in a while for the last session.

Not a lot you can write about the England batting. They had no answers to the pace and swing on display. 17 was their highest individual score and only 4 batsman managed to cross the double-digit mark. A sorry display with the bat by them!

9 wickets for 47 runs fell in this session! Roach struck in the first over after the break as he got rid of Burns. England never recovered after that. From 35 for 1 they have been bundled out for 77. It was more of exceptional bowling than poor batting. Roach was the star as he got five. Holder and Joseph also shared 4 between them and Gabriel had the sole wicket of Curran to his name.

An absolute demolition there! The Windies bowlers have just rolled back the years. Fast hostile bowling at its best and they get a huge ovation as they walk off the field. Just like Anderson, who took a fifer this morning, it is Roach who leads them off the field. He raises the ball to acknowledge the applause as he walks into the dressing room.

Alzarri Joseph to Adil Rashid. OUT! ENGLAND HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 77. That is the lowest total by any team on this ground. Windies lead by 212 runs and have the option of making England come out to bat again. Coming to this ball, it was bowled just outside off on a good length and it shapes away at the last moment to take the outside edge and go to Holder in at second slip. Joseph picks up his second one to finish off the innings. That will also be TEA on Day 2. Incredible bowling, 9 wickets in the session.

Alzarri Joseph to Adil Rashid. FOUR! Rashid becomes the fourth batsmen to cross double figures. Flicks this full one away over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Shannon Gabriel to James Anderson. On the shorter side, Anderson gets right behind the line and defends it well.

James Anderson walks in at number 11.

Shannon Gabriel to Sam Curran. OUT! No. 9 goes down! An absolute snorter that one. Just too much for Curran. Right on the body of the batsman. Curran takes his eyes off the ball and looks to duck awkwardly, the ball though is too quick and before he gets down, it hits his gloves and lobs towards gully. Hope there runs in and takes it easily. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Curran starts walking back but he is asked to wait. The umpires want to check if Gabriel is cutting the side crease. He isn't and Curran has to continue his long walk back. No heroics from him and another 17 needed to avoid the follow-on.

Alzarri Joseph to Ben Foakes. OUT! Joseph now has a wicket to his name! Another top, top nut this one and the last recognized batsman for England is out of here. This is in the corridor of uncertainty. Shapes away a touch. Foakes lunges and tries to block but is done in by the movement. It takes the outside edge and Dowrich behind takes a neat catch diving to his right. 29 more needed to avoid the follow-on, 2 wickets in hand.

Alzarri Joseph to Ben Foakes. Foakes too is handy and is in decent tough. He now pushes this through cover-point and gets to the other end.

Alzarri Joseph to Sam Curran. On the shorter side, Curran guides it towards point. The fielder there makes a good diving stop to his left, can't stop a run though. Curran has looked to play his shot since he has come out. We have seen how good he is with the bat, need to get him early here.

Alzarri Joseph to Sam Curran. On the pads again, it is worked to square leg.

Alzarri Joseph to Sam Curran. Back of a length on off, Curran defends it onto the ground.

Kemar Roach to Sam Curran. A bumper to welcome Curran, he ducks under it.

Drinks break. An insane hour of play since Lunch and Windies have broken the back of England's batting as they have picked up 6 wickets for 19 runs. The famed English lower order will have their toughest test surely. Let alone getting a lead now, will the follow-on be avoided with Roach spitting fireballs here? Everything is going on here at Barbados, you surely do not want to miss it. The next batsman in is Sam Curran, he did it against India last year but he has a big role to play with the bat here.

Kemar Roach to Jos Buttler. OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Another one bites the dust. This time it is the man who has most of the times bailed England out of trouble, Jos Buttler. Fifer for Roach, his 9th in Tests and he is on cloud nine at the moment. Another brute of a delivery this, shortish and on off, it keeps climbing on the batsman. Buttler pokes at it and gets an outside edge to the keeper. Into the bowling all-rounders now. The visitors still need another 41 runs to avoid the follow-on. The way the wickets are falling, even that looks farfetched. Never thought I would be writing this.

Jason Holder to Ben Foakes. On the pads this time and Ben flicks it away off his pads.

Jason Holder to Ben Foakes. A good straight drive back down the ground to this full ball on off stump.

Jason Holder to Ben Foakes. Foakes shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot.

Jason Holder to Jos Buttler. Left alone outside off by the batsman.

Jason Holder to Jos Buttler. A length ball outside off, swinging away a bit and Buttler plays it with soft hands towards the gully region.

Kemar Roach to Ben Foakes. No hat-trick. A poor hat-trick ball to be honest. He should be making the batsman play but instead bowls it outside off, Foakes makes an easy leave. An excellent over though by Roach. A double-wicket maiden.

Hat-trick ball. Ben Foakes is the batsman.

Kemar Roach to Moeen Ali. OUT! In the air... taken! My colleague did mention, bowl short to Moeen Ali on this pacey wicket and he won't last for long and that is exactly what happened. None of us thought he would depart on the very first ball though. Kemar Roach is amidst a brilliant spell. He has four to his name now and England from 35 for 1 have slipped to 48 for 6. They are in tatters at the moment. Coming to the ball now - it is a fast short delivery, right on the body of Ali. He tries to pull it on the leg side by hopping but the ball takes the top edge and flies down towards fine leg. Joseph in the deep does really well to judge it. He keeps his one eye on where the rope is and takes an excellent catch. A golden duck for Ali and Roach is now on a hat-trick.

Moeen Ali walks in at no. 7 with his team in all sorts of trouble.

Kemar Roach to Ben Stokes. OUT! Umpire's call on the Hawk Eye and Stokes will have to walk back. Half of England is back in the dressing room now. Is this even real? Roach has his third and Windies are right on top here. Bowls the previous three balls on a short length and pushes this one to a good length. Stokes is beaten by pace and swing and gets rapped on the back foot. A loud appeal beckons and the umpire thinks a bit before raising his finger. Stokes will review it. The ball goes on to clip the top of leg stump. Hence, could have gone both ways but it is umpire's call and England are in dire straits here. The English supporters have gone quiet.

Stokes has been given out LBW! He has reviewed though. Looks close, could go either way. Big moment in the game.

Kemar Roach to Ben Stokes. A back foot defense from within the crease towards the off side by Stokes. Looks for a quick single but it is not available.

Jason Holder to Joe Root. OUT! The big fish is gone too! What a passage of play this is for the hosts. The fast bowlers are turning this game on its head. Joe Root has been caught in front here by his counter-part. A slightly fuller length ball on off and coming in quite a bit, Root is beaten as he plays outside the line and gets rapped on the pads in front of the stumps. A loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger almost immediately. Root goes up to his partner and consults him but then together they decide that it would be a waste of a review so he walks off. Good decision that as the Hawk Eye later shows us that the ball would have gone on to have 3 reds. Windies on fire here and picking 4 seamers doesn't seem such a bad decision now. The visitors still trail by 245 runs and look in a little trouble here.

Jason Holder to Joe Root. Length ball on off and coming in with the angle, Root tries to flick it away but does not get good timing.

Kemar Roach to Ben Stokes. A good solid front foot defense from Stokes to end the over.

Kemar Roach to Ben Stokes. Left alone again but it is too close for comfort. A good length ball outside off and it comes in this time, Stokes shoulders arms to see it go just inches above the off pole. Good leave it will have to be said though.

Ben Stokes walks in at number 5.

Kemar Roach to Jonny Bairstow. OUT! Played on again! In fact, elbowed on by Bairstow! Roach is on fire here, what ever he ate at Lunch has helped a lot certainly. A scrambled seam delivery from him once more and it moves in a bit after landing. The ball bounces more as well and beats the inside edge and goes on to hit the elbow. Then, it deflects on the bottom of off stump and the bails are off. Brilliant start for Windies whereas Jonny is standing wondering what has happened there! England like so often recently, find themselves three down early on in their innings. The hosts' fans are also elated and they're dancing in the aisles.

Kemar Roach to Jonny Bairstow. FOUR! Goes a little too full this time and Jonny is quick to pounce on that one. Bairstow comes ahead and drives this to the right of mid off for a boundary. Good shot!

Jason Holder to continue from the other end.

Joe Root, the skipper walks in next.

Kemar Roach to Rory Burns. OUT! Soft, soft dismissal. Rory Burns has played it on here and Windies have a wicket just after Lunch. Around the wicket to the lefty, Roach delivers this one on a length outside off stump and angles it in slightly. Burns was looking to defend it with soft hands but does not present a full straight bat. The ball bounces a bit more as well and hits the top of the willow before bouncing on to go and hit the top of off stump. Looks gutted, it was the first ball he was facing after the break and he has to depart. This should lift Roach as well as his team. Can they snap up a few more quickly?

The two batsmen, the fielders and the umpires are back out in the middle. All set for the second session, who will do better? Jonny Bairstow to face Kemar Roach.

... Day 2, Session 2 ...

Now what will the two teams look for after the break? England will surely want a partnership to be built so that they can assert their position. The Windies, on the other hand, will need to pick a few quick wickets as this English batting line-up is a long one. Do join us for the afternoon session in a short while.

A shared session one can say! It however was all going well for the English side after they bundled out the Windies under 300. Their openers started off in an assured manner but could not score freely. A few minutes before Lunch, Holder sent Jennings back which sees both the sides head into the break pleased with where the match stands at the moment.

Jason Holder to Rory Burns. Good delivery to end the session! Goes short this time, Burns looks to leave but the ball gets big on him. He fails to get his hands out in time, the ball hits the handle and then rolls towards gully. Lucky that as it could have lobbed to the fielders in the slip cordon. THAT WILL BE LUNCH ON DAY 2!

Shannon Gabriel to Jonny Bairstow. The batsman has driven this fuller one on off towards mid off.

Shannon Gabriel to Jonny Bairstow. FOUR BYES! Poor Shane Dowrich, this will go as a wicket-keeping error whereas in real, he had no chance to reach that ball. It was banged in short by Shannon on middle and leg and the ball moves wildly down the leg side as Bairstow ducked to let it go. Even a full length dive from the keeper couldn't help him reach it.

Shannon Gabriel to Jonny Bairstow. Solid defense this time from Jonny coming ahead.

Shannon Gabriel to Jonny Bairstow. Oooh! Good line and length this from Gabriel. Just on top of off stump, Bairstow looks to defend towards the off side but gets a thick outside edge towards gully who misfields. No single is taken though, as the point fielder is quick to reach the ball.

Shannon Gabriel to Rory Burns. Outside edge but does not carry! A fuller length ball just outside off and straightening a bit. Burns looks to defend with soft hands but gets an edge that falls short of third slip towards his left. A half stop is made but the single cannot be prevented.

Jonny Bairstow walks in at number 3.

Jason Holder to Keaton Jennings. OUT! The skipper strikes, he draws first blood here. Jennings who looked nice till now perishes. Very good by Holder, he continues to bowl it on a fuller length, this one is slightly outside off. Keaton once again goes for the drive but with no foot movement. The ball takes a fat outside edge and goes into the hands of Hope at gully. Holder is ecstatic as he provides Windies the breakthrough they desperately wanted before the break.

A mentally and physically derailed England side have a target of 628 in front of them. They have a little more that 2 days to achieve it. Can they do so? I do not think they can, they are probably batted out of the game and a miracle would be needed even if they are to save this one. Windies on the other hand, will try and repeat their performance of the first innings. Even if they bowl half as good as they did, they could wrap up the game tomorrow itself. Will they once again blow away the batting line-up of the English side or will there be a fight back. Stay tuned to find out.

The Windies entered this innings already having a big lead of 212. Their openers got them off to a good start once again but wickets from Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes saw them collapse from 60 for 1 to 61 for 5. England did sniff a chance of fighting back but then Hetmyer along with Hope steadied the ship with a 59-run stand and then Dowrich and Holder batted the away side out with the best 7th wicket stand for the Windies against England. The keeper-batsman scored an unbeaten ton and the skipper notched an unbeaten 200.

WINDIES HAVE FINALLY DECLARED! Jason Holder and Shane Dowrich walk off to a huge ovation by the crowd here, by their teammates and they deserve every bit of it. this innings was all about them. Their mammoth 295-run stand has set a daunting total for the visitors.

We are all set for the action to begin. Out comm the England players along with the umpires. Jason Holder and Shane Dowrich will continue their innings. The former will be on strike and he will be facing James Anderson. Here we go...

The visitors on the other hand, need to pick the remaining wickets as quickly as possible and then try and bat well on a wicket which has started to play tricks. An interesting day awaits. Welcome to the coverage.

If you ever thought we would enter Day 3 with the hosts comfortably ahead in the game, you should probably buy a lottery ticket. Their lead is close to 350 and another 50 runs or so will probably see them bat the visitors out of the game.

... Day 3, Session 1 ...

The hosts now have their captain and a well-set batsman out there. One more partnership will probably see them bat England out of the game. The visitors on the other hand, need to take the remaining wickets quickly if they are to have a chance here. Will the Windies continue their dominance or will the away side fight back? Join us on Day 3 to find out at 1000 local (1400 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!

Windies in their second innings, once again got off to a good start as their openers stitched a fifty-run stand. Just as they seemed like they were running away with the game a collapse is what we witnessed. From 60 for 1 they derailed to 61 for 5. England at that time did sense an opening but Hetmyer and Dowrich counter-attacked. The two added a 50-plus run stand and took the lead above 300. The former perished but one would believe the partnership did the damage.

The day however, began with England bundling out the hosts for below 300 with Hetmyer being the top scorer. For England, Anderson and Stokes took one each today. The former finished with a 5-fer whereas the latter with a 4-wicket haul. However, the Windies blew away the English batters courtesy an outstanding spell by Roach. He took 5 and ensured the Windies take a massive lead.

What a day of Test cricket did we witness! At the end of it, it is the hosts who are in the driver's seat here. They have a lead of one short of 340 and still 4 wickets in hand.

A length ball on off stump, jags in a bit and Hope who was playing outside the line of the ball, tries to adjust but can only get an inside edge that goes onto the pads and then to Jennings at short leg.

Review time. Stokes seems to have heard something and has forced his captain to take this one upstairs. There is a smile on Hetmyer's face though. Did not seem like there was anything on it. Replays awaited...

Moeen Ali to Shimron Hetmyer. Flatter and outside off, Hetmyer leaves it along.

Shimron Hetmyer comes in at 6, replacing Chase.

Moeen Ali to Roston Chase. OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Two in the over for Ali and Chase bags a duck. This is tossed up outside off, it pitches and goes straight on. Chase defends for the non-existent turn. The ball takes the outside edge and goes into the big hands of Ben Stokes. A good passage of play for England this.

Moeen Ali to Roston Chase. Fuller and on middle, it is worked with the turn to mid-wicket.

Roston Chase walks in at number 5.

Moeen Ali to Darren Bravo. OUT! Bravo fails in the second innings as well. You just can't keep Stokes out of the game, pockets an easy catch at slip with his bucket hands. A good one with some drift bowled on off stump line, Darren is ahead to defend. Gets a slight edge that carries to Ben at slip. The nightmare return to Test cricket continues for Bravo. England have three quick ones. Can't have enough of saying this, they still need the wickets to keep coming.

Moeen Ali to Darren Bravo. Flatter one on off stump, defended on the front foot by Bravo.

Ben Stokes to Shai Hope. Hits the length hard again, Hope tries to defend but it goes off the outer half towards gully.

Ben Stokes to Darren Bravo. A little too straight, it is worked around the corner for a run.

Ben Stokes to Darren Bravo. On the shorter side, Bravo evades it.

Darren Bravo is the new man in.

Ben Stokes to John Campbell. OUT! The Drinks break does the trick for England. A very strange dismissal though and now both the openers are back in the hut. A short delivery by Stokes outside off, it pitches and it might have come slow off the surface. Campbell is way too early into his pull shot. It goes off the toe end towards covers where Jennings takes a dolly. Two wickets in quick succession, they need more here.

Ben Stokes to John Campbell. On the fuller side, it is flicked through mid-wicket and the batter takes two.

Drinks break. Windies have lost Brathwaite but are surely batting the English out of the game slowly. They lead by 270 now and have all the time in the world. The visitors desperately need a lot of quick wickets. Let's watch what happens in the last passage of play on Day 2...

Moeen Ali to John Campbell. The batsman has flicked the ball off his pads. One run added to the total.

Moeen Ali to John Campbell. Just short! Luck too needs to go Windies' way. A hint of turn there after it pitched on off, Campbell goes back and tries to defend. The ball hits the outside edge and lands just short of the diving Stokes.

Shai Hope walks in at number 3 for the hosts.

Moeen Ali to Kraigg Brathwaite. OUT! Once again Moeen Ali draws first blood! This was plumb in front! Quicker and flatter on off, it turns back in just a touch. Brathwaite goes back and tries to flick. He misses, it hits him on the pads. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Brathwaite once again walks back after getting a start. England need a few more quickly as the Windies are effectively 264 for 1.

Moeen Ali to Kraigg Brathwaite. On the pads, worked to short fine leg,

Moeen Ali to Kraigg Brathwaite. Works it with the turn to mid-wicket.
