Cricket Scorecard

West Indies had a sensational start as their bowlers were breathing fire with the red cherry. Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales wrecked England's top order and Jason Holder followed it up bowling impeccable lines and lengths and with great consistency and also bagged the wicket of Lawrence. It was a different story later as in the middle and the final session, as they allowed some partnerships to build and were blown by Bairstow's counter-attack. It was the short ball ploy that worked in their favor to

Electing to bat first, England were in all sorts of trouble as the top order collapsed leaving the side with 48/4. After that, Stokes and Foakes stitched crucial partnerships with Bairstow but they could not convert their starts. However, Jonny Bairstow bailed England out of trouble with a remarkable century and they ended Day 1 on 268/6. He found another sustainable partner in Chris Woakes and they built a 71-run stand before he holed out. The tail-enders could not do much damage to the score a

PITCH REPORT - Mark Butcher is near the pitch. He says that the breeze is up, and it's expected to be another hot day. Reckons that the surface is holding together okay for now, but there's every chance it is going to start crumbling sooner rather than later. Adds that they can get increasing variable bounce as the game progresses. 

Jayden Seales is up for a quick chat as well. He says, he tried to bowl full and in good areas but he could have been more consistent. Tells that the pitch is a bit on the slower side and hence bowling full was very important. Mentions that he enjoyed bowling from the Andy Roberts end.

Ben Foakes is up for a chat. He says that Jonny batted really well and he tried to be disciplined with the bat. Tells that there is enough in the wicket for the bowlers and anything around 350 would be a good score on this pitch.

Jonny Bairstow is in for a quick chat. He says, that scoring a ton feels amazing and it is great fun playing here. Tells that they spoke about partnerships and how crucial they could be. Mentions that there is still plenty on the pitch and they will have to see how it goes in the morning session. Adds that they will try to add as many runs as possible.

Jonny Bairstow was the talk of the town on Day 1 as England had slipped to 48/4 in the first session but they finished Day 1 with 268/6 and it was led by a hundred from the Englishman. With him still at the crease, England would at least be eyeing 350, while the hosts would look to minimize the damage. They were terrific with the new ball on Day 1 and would be hoping for a similar performance. Let's see what Day 2 has in store for us.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between England and West Indies. We witnessed an entertaining Day 1 with England ending the day in a commanding position. The hosts have however fared well and are not out of this contest. While England would be looking to add as many runs as they can, the hosts would look to make early inroads as the ball is still relatively new and they would hope to wrap things up quickly and come out to bat. Another thrilling session awaits us.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Right then. Jonny Bairstow played a valiant knock to put his side in a commanding position. He has gotten England out of the woods. England would love to see him bat for as long as he could on Day 2. West Indies, on the other side, seem to have lost a trick with the ball after a dominating morning session. But the ball is still fairly new and the hosts would hope to start the morning session on Day 2 in a similar fashion. The first ball will be bowled at 1930 IST (1400 GMT). Do join us then. T

The bowlers lost control as the ball became old. Unlike the first session, the pacers were unable to threat the batters with any kind of movement. This forced Kraigg Brathwaite to get his spinner into the attack. But it did not work in their favour, as Bairstow and Foakes dealt with ease and kept racking up runs at a brisk rate. West Indies looked down and under, as the sixth-wicket stand kept growing. It was Jason Holder who came out with a moment of inspiration and got the better of Foakes. Th

Kemar Roach is in for a chat. He says that the pitch played a lot better than what they expected. Tells that they started well in the Lunch session and got on the back foot after that but are still happy. Mentions that his plan for tomorrow is to get early wickets and be more consistent with his lines and lengths.

What a session for England this was. They lost only a single wicket of Ben Foakes, that too after he put up a solid stand of 99 runs with Jonny Bairstow while England racked up 123 runs in the final session. Well, Bairstow who was kept in the side for racking up runs down the order, seems to have accepted the role with open arms as he racked up his eighth Test century. If not for him, England would’ve been bundled out for a cheaper score. Chris Woakes showed good resilience in the end and

What a comeback by the visitors! They were bogged down to 57/4 at the end of the first session. But England did really well to recover in the next two sessions. It was Jonny Bairstow, who was the backbone of this English innings. In the final hour of the final session, Bairstow-Woakes stitched a solid stand of 54 runs to end their day on a high. Jonny Bairstow walks back with a huge round of applause from his team-mates and he deserves every bit of this.

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

Right then. England batters have their task cut out after an horrendous display with the blade. West Indies, on the flip side, have the upper hand in the game. They will hope to come back in the second session and try to wrap things up as early as possible. An enticing session of cricket awaits. Do join us at 2210 IST (1640 GMT) for the middle session to find out what happens.

Oh my god! What cricket did we just witness? Looks like the hosts have blown away the opposition in the first session itself. The English batters could not justify their skipper’s decision to bat first and see themselves teetering at 57/4. It is harsh but it’s the truth that England’s poor form with the bat in red-ball cricket prevails.

A four-men pace attack is certainly doing the trick for West Indies. The first session certainly belonged to them as they gave away only 57 runs and took 4 wickets. The opening bowling pair of Roach-Seales made sure to keep things tight and put the visitors on the back foot instantly. Roach bagged two wickets while Seales took a wicket. But to be honest, Jason Holder was pick of the bowlers in the morning session, as he bowled 5 maiden overs on the trot and also got a wicket under his belly. Â

The opening woes continue for England in Test cricket. The English camp added some new names to the side while shockingly left out some big names, and thought this may turn things around for them. But it certainly did not go as per their plan. England openers were sent back to the pavilion within the opening 4 overs, but Zak Crawley and Alex Lees did hit some glorious shots before folding out. The visitors even lost Root soon after and Dan Lawrence followed suit. But in the end, Stokes and

Kemar Roach (6-1-28-2) comes back into the attack. 

There is some halt in play. Looks like the DJ is having some issue with his set up. There is some disturbance cause due to the same. Looks like we are good to continue. 

Jonny Bairstow is the new man in.

Drinks! What a great first hour for West Indies. They have got 3 wickets including the wicket of Joe Root who is the backbone of England. Ben Stokes and Dan Lawrence need to do some repair work now and would look to stay at the crease till Lunch as England cannot afford to lose any more wickets.  Change from both ends! Alzarri Joseph to operate now. He replaces Kemar Roach. 

Jason Holder is brought into the attack now. He replaces Jayden Seales.

Kemar Roach to Dan Lawrence, Length ball, on off. Dan Lawrence defends it out watchfully.

Ben Stokes is the new man in.

Dan Lawrence is the new batsman in. 

The England skipper, Joe Root walks in at number 3. 

England have opted a review for an LBW. UltraEdge shows there is a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside off, the impact is umpire's call and it is wickets hitting. So, England retain their review but Alex Lees will have to depart as the original decision stands. 

PITCH REPORT - Sir Curtly Ambrose says that once the early moisture is gone, the pitch will become good for batting. Says that there is not much grass on it as well. Mark Butcher reckons that the pitch should dry out and open up a few cracks with first-innings runs being the key. 

We are done with the pre-match formalities. The players now stride out to the middle. Alex Lees, the Durham debutant is set to open alongside Zak Crawley. Kemar Roach to start the proceedings with the ball. Before he steams in, the players take a knee in support of the BLM movement. Let's go. Three slips and a gully in place for Roach. 

Jayden Seales to operate from the other end. 

Both the teams stride out to the middle and lineup for the national anthem. Both sides are wearing black armbands to show respect for Shane Warne, Rod Marsh and Sunny Ramadin. First, the national anthem of England will be played followed by West Indies'.

Joe Root, the English skipper, is in for a chat. He says, they will bat first. Mentions the pitch looks very dry. Also says that the first session would be very crucial, as the condition may deterioate through the game. Kraigg Brathwaite, the West Indies skipper joins the chat. He says, they are thinking about the processes. They will try to stick to their plans and everything should fall in place. Mentions, the boys are really hungry and it should be a good contest. Adds that there is a spinn

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), John Campbell, Shamarh Brooks, Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Jason Holder, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Veerasammy Permaul, Jayden Seales.

England (Playing XI) - Zak Crawley, Alex Lees (On debut), Joe Root (C), Dan Lawrence, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (WK), Chris Woakes, Craig Overton, Mark Wood, Jack Leach.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of England. They have opted to BAT first.

... DAY 1, SESSION 1 ...

There are some enthralling series in action in the red-ball cricket and now here we are to entertain you with another coverage as England take on the West Indies. Both teams have their own flaws to battle in this format and are also at the bottom of the World Test Championship table. Both sides have some exciting players on their side and an intense battle can be expected over the course of the next five days. On that note, welcome to the coverage of the first Test.

West Indies' last assignment was the limited overs tour to India where they failed to win even a single game. Before that, they played 5 T20Is against England and won the series 3-2. They haven't played any red ball cricket off late and their last series came against Sri Lanka which they lost 2-0. They would be hoping to turn their fortunes this time around. They would be keen to bring on their A game and kick off the series on a winning note at their own backyard. 

England on the other hand, would be raring to go as they have a point to prove in this series after a humiliating 0-4 thrashing in the Ashes series Down Under. The humiliating campaign also propelled many major changes in the England squad. Hence, it will be interesting to see how the side fares against West Indies. Notably, England’s last visit to the Caribbean Islands wasn’t memorable as they suffered a 1-2 defeat in the Test series. Joe Root's men will be definitely eager to perform bette

West Indies had a sensational start as their bowlers were breathing fire with the red cherry. Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales wrecked England's top order and Jason Holder followed it up bowling impeccable lines and lengths and with great consistency and also bagged the wicket of Lawrence. It was a different story later as in the middle and the final session, as they allowed some partnerships to build and were blown by Bairstow's counter-attack. It was the short ball ploy that worked in their favor to

Electing to bat first, England were in all sorts of trouble as the top order collapsed leaving the side with 48/4. After that, Stokes and Foakes stitched crucial partnerships with Bairstow but they could not convert their starts. However, Jonny Bairstow bailed England out of trouble with a remarkable century and they ended Day 1 on 268/6. He found another sustainable partner in Chris Woakes and they built a 71-run stand before he holed out. The tail-enders could not do much damage to the score a

PITCH REPORT - Mark Butcher is near the pitch. He says that the breeze is up, and it's expected to be another hot day. Reckons that the surface is holding together okay for now, but there's every chance it is going to start crumbling sooner rather than later. Adds that they can get increasing variable bounce as the game progresses. 

Jayden Seales is up for a quick chat as well. He says, he tried to bowl full and in good areas but he could have been more consistent. Tells that the pitch is a bit on the slower side and hence bowling full was very important. Mentions that he enjoyed bowling from the Andy Roberts end.

Ben Foakes is up for a chat. He says that Jonny batted really well and he tried to be disciplined with the bat. Tells that there is enough in the wicket for the bowlers and anything around 350 would be a good score on this pitch.

Jonny Bairstow is in for a quick chat. He says, that scoring a ton feels amazing and it is great fun playing here. Tells that they spoke about partnerships and how crucial they could be. Mentions that there is still plenty on the pitch and they will have to see how it goes in the morning session. Adds that they will try to add as many runs as possible.

Jonny Bairstow was the talk of the town on Day 1 as England had slipped to 48/4 in the first session but they finished Day 1 with 268/6 and it was led by a hundred from the Englishman. With him still at the crease, England would at least be eyeing 350, while the hosts would look to minimize the damage. They were terrific with the new ball on Day 1 and would be hoping for a similar performance. Let's see what Day 2 has in store for us.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between England and West Indies. We witnessed an entertaining Day 1 with England ending the day in a commanding position. The hosts have however fared well and are not out of this contest. While England would be looking to add as many runs as they can, the hosts would look to make early inroads as the ball is still relatively new and they would hope to wrap things up quickly and come out to bat. Another thrilling session awaits us.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Right then. Jonny Bairstow played a valiant knock to put his side in a commanding position. He has gotten England out of the woods. England would love to see him bat for as long as he could on Day 2. West Indies, on the other side, seem to have lost a trick with the ball after a dominating morning session. But the ball is still fairly new and the hosts would hope to start the morning session on Day 2 in a similar fashion. The first ball will be bowled at 1930 IST (1400 GMT). Do join us then. T

The bowlers lost control as the ball became old. Unlike the first session, the pacers were unable to threat the batters with any kind of movement. This forced Kraigg Brathwaite to get his spinner into the attack. But it did not work in their favour, as Bairstow and Foakes dealt with ease and kept racking up runs at a brisk rate. West Indies looked down and under, as the sixth-wicket stand kept growing. It was Jason Holder who came out with a moment of inspiration and got the better of Foakes. Th

Kemar Roach is in for a chat. He says that the pitch played a lot better than what they expected. Tells that they started well in the Lunch session and got on the back foot after that but are still happy. Mentions that his plan for tomorrow is to get early wickets and be more consistent with his lines and lengths.

What a session for England this was. They lost only a single wicket of Ben Foakes, that too after he put up a solid stand of 99 runs with Jonny Bairstow while England racked up 123 runs in the final session. Well, Bairstow who was kept in the side for racking up runs down the order, seems to have accepted the role with open arms as he racked up his eighth Test century. If not for him, England would’ve been bundled out for a cheaper score. Chris Woakes showed good resilience in the end and

What a comeback by the visitors! They were bogged down to 57/4 at the end of the first session. But England did really well to recover in the next two sessions. It was Jonny Bairstow, who was the backbone of this English innings. In the final hour of the final session, Bairstow-Woakes stitched a solid stand of 54 runs to end their day on a high.

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

Right then. England batters have their task cut out after an horrendous display with the blade. West Indies, on the flip side, have the upper hand in the game. They will hope to come back in the second session and try to wrap things up as early as possible. An enticing session of cricket awaits. Do join us at 2210 IST (1640 GMT) for the middle session to find out what happens.

Oh my god! What cricket did we just witness? Looks like the hosts have blown away the opposition in the first session itself. The English batters could not justify their skipper’s decision to bat first and see themselves teetering at 57/4. It is harsh but it’s the truth that England’s poor form with the bat in red-ball cricket prevails.

A four-men pace attack is certainly doing the trick for West Indies. The first session certainly belonged to them as they gave away only 57 runs and took 4 wickets. The opening bowling pair of Roach-Seales made sure to keep things tight and put the visitors on the back foot instantly. Roach bagged two wickets while Seales took a wicket. But to be honest, Jason Holder was pick of the bowlers in the morning session, as he bowled 5 maiden overs on the trot and also got a wicket under his belly. Â

The opening woes continue for England in Test cricket. The English camp added some new names to the side while shockingly left out some big names, and thought this may turn things around for them. But it certainly did not go as per their plan. England openers were sent back to the pavilion within the opening 4 overs, but Zak Crawley and Alex Lees did hit some glorious shots before folding out. The visitors even lost Root soon after and Dan Lawrence followed suit. But in the end, Stokes and

Kemar Roach (6-1-28-2) comes back into the attack. 

There is some halt in play. Looks like the DJ is having some issue with his set up. There is some disturbance cause due to the same. Looks like we are good to continue. 

Jonny Bairstow is the new man in.

Drinks! What a great first hour for West Indies. They have got 3 wickets including the wicket of Joe Root who is the backbone of England. Ben Stokes and Dan Lawrence need to do some repair work now and would look to stay at the crease till Lunch as England cannot afford to lose any more wickets.  Change from both ends! Alzarri Joseph to operate now. He replaces Kemar Roach. 

Jason Holder is brought into the attack now. He replaces Jayden Seales.

Kemar Roach to Dan Lawrence, Length ball, on off. Dan Lawrence defends it out watchfully.

Ben Stokes is the new man in.

Dan Lawrence is the new batsman in. 

The England skipper, Joe Root walks in at number 3. 

England have opted a review for an LBW. UltraEdge shows there is a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside off, the impact is umpire's call and it is wickets hitting. So, England retain their review but Alex Lees will have to depart as the original decision stands. 

PITCH REPORT - Sir Curtly Ambrose says that once the early moisture is gone, the pitch will become good for batting. Says that there is not much grass on it as well. Mark Butcher reckons that the pitch should dry out and open up a few cracks with first-innings runs being the key. 

We are done with the pre-match formalities. The players now stride out to the middle. Alex Lees, the Durham debutant is set to open alongside Zak Crawley. Kemar Roach to start the proceedings with the ball. Before he steams in, the players take a knee in support of the BLM movement. Let's go. Three slips and a gully in place for Roach. 

Jayden Seales to operate from the other end. 

Both the teams stride out to the middle and lineup for the national anthem. Both sides are wearing black armbands to show respect for Shane Warne, Rod Marsh and Sunny Ramadin. First, the national anthem of England will be played followed by West Indies'.

Joe Root, the English skipper, is in for a chat. He says, they will bat first. Mentions the pitch looks very dry. Also says that the first session would be very crucial, as the condition may deterioate through the game. Kraigg Brathwaite, the West Indies skipper joins the chat. He says, they are thinking about the processes. They will try to stick to their plans and everything should fall in place. Mentions, the boys are really hungry and it should be a good contest. Adds that there is a spinn

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), John Campbell, Shamarh Brooks, Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Jason Holder, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Veerasammy Permaul, Jayden Seales.

England (Playing XI) - Zak Crawley, Alex Lees (On debut), Joe Root (C), Dan Lawrence, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (WK), Chris Woakes, Craig Overton, Mark Wood, Jack Leach.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of England. They have opted to BAT first.

... DAY 1, SESSION 1 ...

There are some enthralling series in action in the red-ball cricket and now here we are to entertain you with another coverage as England take on the West Indies. Both teams have their own flaws to battle in this format and are also at the bottom of the World Test Championship table. Both sides have some exciting players on their side and an intense battle can be expected over the course of the next five days. On that note, welcome to the coverage of the first Test.

West Indies' last assignment was the limited overs tour to India where they failed to win even a single game. Before that, they played 5 T20Is against England and won the series 3-2. They haven't played any red ball cricket off late and their last series came against Sri Lanka which they lost 2-0. They would be hoping to turn their fortunes this time around. They would be keen to bring on their A game and kick off the series on a winning note at their own backyard. 

England on the other hand, would be raring to go as they have a point to prove in this series after a humiliating 0-4 thrashing in the Ashes series Down Under. The humiliating campaign also propelled many major changes in the England squad. Hence, it will be interesting to see how the side fares against West Indies. Notably, England’s last visit to the Caribbean Islands wasn’t memorable as they suffered a 1-2 defeat in the Test series. Joe Root's men will be definitely eager to perform bette

West Indies had a sensational start as their bowlers were breathing fire with the red cherry. Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales wrecked England's top order and Jason Holder followed it up bowling impeccable lines and lengths and with great consistency and also bagged the wicket of Lawrence. It was a different story later as in the middle and the final session, as they allowed some partnerships to build and were blown by Bairstow's counter-attack. It was the short ball ploy that worked in their favor to

Electing to bat first, England were in all sorts of trouble as the top order collapsed leaving the side with 48/4. After that, Stokes and Foakes stitched crucial partnerships with Bairstow but they could not convert their starts. However, Jonny Bairstow bailed England out of trouble with a remarkable century and they ended Day 1 on 268/6. He found another sustainable partner in Chris Woakes and they built a 71-run stand before he holed out. The tail-enders could not do much damage to the score a

PITCH REPORT - Mark Butcher is near the pitch. He says that the breeze is up, and it's expected to be another hot day. Reckons that the surface is holding together okay for now, but there's every chance it is going to start crumbling sooner rather than later. Adds that they can get increasing variable bounce as the game progresses. 

Jayden Seales is up for a quick chat as well. He says, he tried to bowl full and in good areas but he could have been more consistent. Tells that the pitch is a bit on the slower side and hence bowling full was very important. Mentions that he enjoyed bowling from the Andy Roberts end.

Ben Foakes is up for a chat. He says that Jonny batted really well and he tried to be disciplined with the bat. Tells that there is enough in the wicket for the bowlers and anything around 350 would be a good score on this pitch.

Jonny Bairstow is in for a quick chat. He says, that scoring a ton feels amazing and it is great fun playing here. Tells that they spoke about partnerships and how crucial they could be. Mentions that there is still plenty on the pitch and they will have to see how it goes in the morning session. Adds that they will try to add as many runs as possible.

Jonny Bairstow was the talk of the town on Day 1 as England had slipped to 48/4 in the first session but they finished Day 1 with 268/6 and it was led by a hundred from the Englishman. With him still at the crease, England would at least be eyeing 350, while the hosts would look to minimize the damage. They were terrific with the new ball on Day 1 and would be hoping for a similar performance. Let's see what Day 2 has in store for us.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between England and West Indies. We witnessed an entertaining Day 1 with England ending the day in a commanding position. The hosts have however fared well and are not out of this contest. While England would be looking to add as many runs as they can, the hosts would look to make early inroads as the ball is still relatively new and they would hope to wrap things up quickly and come out to bat. Another thrilling session awaits us.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Right then. Jonny Bairstow played a valiant knock to put his side in a commanding position. He has gotten England out of the woods. England would love to see him bat for as long as he could on Day 2. West Indies, on the other side, seem to have lost a trick with the ball after a dominating morning session. But the ball is still fairly new and the hosts would hope to start the morning session on Day 2 in a similar fashion. The first ball will be bowled at 1930 IST (1400 GMT). Do join us then. T

The bowlers lost control as the ball became old. Unlike the first session, the pacers were unable to threat the batters with any kind of movement. This forced Kraigg Brathwaite to get his spinner into the attack. But it did not work in their favour, as Bairstow and Foakes dealt with ease and kept racking up runs at a brisk rate. West Indies looked down and under, as the sixth-wicket stand kept growing. It was Jason Holder who came out with a moment of inspiration and got the better of Foakes. Th

Kemar Roach is in for a chat. He says that the pitch played a lot better than what they expected. Tells that they started well in the Lunch session and got on the back foot after that but are still happy. Mentions that his plan for tomorrow is to get early wickets and be more consistent with his lines and lengths.

What a session for England this was. They lost only a single wicket of Ben Foakes, that too after he put up a solid stand of 99 runs with Jonny Bairstow while England racked up 123 runs in the final session. Well, Bairstow who was kept in the side for racking up runs down the order, seems to have accepted the role with open arms as he racked up his eighth Test century. If not for him, England would’ve been bundled out for a cheaper score. Chris Woakes showed good resilience in the end and

What a comeback by the visitors! They were bogged down to 57/4 at the end of the first session. But England did really well to recover in the next two sessions. It was Jonny Bairstow, who was the backbone of this English innings. In the final hour of the final session, Bairstow-Woakes stitched a solid stand of 54 runs to end their day on a high. Jonny Bairstow walks back with a huge round of applause from his team-mates and he deserves every bit of this.

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

Right then. England batters have their task cut out after an horrendous display with the blade. West Indies, on the flip side, have the upper hand in the game. They will hope to come back in the second session and try to wrap things up as early as possible. An enticing session of cricket awaits. Do join us at 2210 IST (1640 GMT) for the middle session to find out what happens.

Oh my god! What cricket did we just witness? Looks like the hosts have blown away the opposition in the first session itself. The English batters could not justify their skipper’s decision to bat first and see themselves teetering at 57/4. It is harsh but it’s the truth that England’s poor form with the bat in red-ball cricket prevails.

A four-men pace attack is certainly doing the trick for West Indies. The first session certainly belonged to them as they gave away only 57 runs and took 4 wickets. The opening bowling pair of Roach-Seales made sure to keep things tight and put the visitors on the back foot instantly. Roach bagged two wickets while Seales took a wicket. But to be honest, Jason Holder was pick of the bowlers in the morning session, as he bowled 5 maiden overs on the trot and also got a wicket under his belly. Â

The opening woes continue for England in Test cricket. The English camp added some new names to the side while shockingly left out some big names, and thought this may turn things around for them. But it certainly did not go as per their plan. England openers were sent back to the pavilion within the opening 4 overs, but Zak Crawley and Alex Lees did hit some glorious shots before folding out. The visitors even lost Root soon after and Dan Lawrence followed suit. But in the end, Stokes and

Kemar Roach (6-1-28-2) comes back into the attack. 

There is some halt in play. Looks like the DJ is having some issue with his set up. There is some disturbance cause due to the same. Looks like we are good to continue. 

Jonny Bairstow is the new man in.

Drinks! What a great first hour for West Indies. They have got 3 wickets including the wicket of Joe Root who is the backbone of England. Ben Stokes and Dan Lawrence need to do some repair work now and would look to stay at the crease till Lunch as England cannot afford to lose any more wickets.  Change from both ends! Alzarri Joseph to operate now. He replaces Kemar Roach. 

Jason Holder is brought into the attack now. He replaces Jayden Seales.

Kemar Roach to Dan Lawrence, Length ball, on off. Dan Lawrence defends it out watchfully.

Ben Stokes is the new man in.

Dan Lawrence is the new batsman in. 

The England skipper, Joe Root walks in at number 3. 

England have opted a review for an LBW. UltraEdge shows there is a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside off, the impact is umpire's call and it is wickets hitting. So, England retain their review but Alex Lees will have to depart as the original decision stands. 

PITCH REPORT - Sir Curtly Ambrose says that once the early moisture is gone, the pitch will become good for batting. Says that there is not much grass on it as well. Mark Butcher reckons that the pitch should dry out and open up a few cracks with first-innings runs being the key. 

We are done with the pre-match formalities. The players now stride out to the middle. Alex Lees, the Durham debutant is set to open alongside Zak Crawley. Kemar Roach to start the proceedings with the ball. Before he steams in, the players take a knee in support of the BLM movement. Let's go. Three slips and a gully in place for Roach. 

Jayden Seales to operate from the other end. 

Both the teams stride out to the middle and lineup for the national anthem. Both sides are wearing black armbands to show respect for Shane Warne, Rod Marsh and Sunny Ramadin. First, the national anthem of England will be played followed by West Indies'.

Joe Root, the English skipper, is in for a chat. He says, they will bat first. Mentions the pitch looks very dry. Also says that the first session would be very crucial, as the condition may deterioate through the game. Kraigg Brathwaite, the West Indies skipper joins the chat. He says, they are thinking about the processes. They will try to stick to their plans and everything should fall in place. Mentions, the boys are really hungry and it should be a good contest. Adds that there is a spinn

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), John Campbell, Shamarh Brooks, Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Jason Holder, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Veerasammy Permaul, Jayden Seales.

England (Playing XI) - Zak Crawley, Alex Lees (On debut), Joe Root (C), Dan Lawrence, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (WK), Chris Woakes, Craig Overton, Mark Wood, Jack Leach.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of England. They have opted to BAT first.

... DAY 1, SESSION 1 ...

There are some enthralling series in action in the red-ball cricket and now here we are to entertain you with another coverage as England take on the West Indies. Both teams have their own flaws to battle in this format and are also at the bottom of the World Test Championship table. Both sides have some exciting players on their side and an intense battle can be expected over the course of the next five days. On that note, welcome to the coverage of the first Test.

West Indies' last assignment was the limited overs tour to India where they failed to win even a single game. Before that, they played 5 T20Is against England and won the series 3-2. They haven't played any red ball cricket off late and their last series came against Sri Lanka which they lost 2-0. They would be hoping to turn their fortunes this time around. They would be keen to bring on their A game and kick off the series on a winning note at their own backyard. 

England on the other hand, would be raring to go as they have a point to prove in this series after a humiliating 0-4 thrashing in the Ashes series Down Under. The humiliating campaign also propelled many major changes in the England squad. Hence, it will be interesting to see how the side fares against West Indies. Notably, England’s last visit to the Caribbean Islands wasn’t memorable as they suffered a 1-2 defeat in the Test series. Joe Root's men will be definitely eager to perform bette

West Indies had a sensational start as their bowlers were breathing fire with the red cherry. Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales wrecked England's top order and Jason Holder followed it up bowling impeccable lines and lengths and with great consistency and also bagged the wicket of Lawrence. It was a different story later as in the middle and the final session, as they allowed some partnerships to build and were blown by Bairstow's counter-attack. It was the short ball ploy that worked in their favor to

Electing to bat first, England were in all sorts of trouble as the top order collapsed leaving the side with 48/4. After that, Stokes and Foakes stitched crucial partnerships with Bairstow but they could not convert their starts. However, Jonny Bairstow bailed England out of trouble with a remarkable century and they ended Day 1 on 268/6. He found another sustainable partner in Chris Woakes and they built a 71-run stand before he holed out. The tail-enders could not do much damage to the score a

PITCH REPORT - Mark Butcher is near the pitch. He says that the breeze is up, and it's expected to be another hot day. Reckons that the surface is holding together okay for now, but there's every chance it is going to start crumbling sooner rather than later. Adds that they can get increasing variable bounce as the game progresses. 

Jayden Seales is up for a quick chat as well. He says, he tried to bowl full and in good areas but he could have been more consistent. Tells that the pitch is a bit on the slower side and hence bowling full was very important. Mentions that he enjoyed bowling from the Andy Roberts end.

Ben Foakes is up for a chat. He says that Jonny batted really well and he tried to be disciplined with the bat. Tells that there is enough in the wicket for the bowlers and anything around 350 would be a good score on this pitch.

Jonny Bairstow is in for a quick chat. He says, that scoring a ton feels amazing and it is great fun playing here. Tells that they spoke about partnerships and how crucial they could be. Mentions that there is still plenty on the pitch and they will have to see how it goes in the morning session. Adds that they will try to add as many runs as possible.

Jonny Bairstow was the talk of the town on Day 1 as England had slipped to 48/4 in the first session but they finished Day 1 with 268/6 and it was led by a hundred from the Englishman. With him still at the crease, England would at least be eyeing 350, while the hosts would look to minimize the damage. They were terrific with the new ball on Day 1 and would be hoping for a similar performance. Let's see what Day 2 has in store for us.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between England and West Indies. We witnessed an entertaining Day 1 with England ending the day in a commanding position. The hosts have however fared well and are not out of this contest. While England would be looking to add as many runs as they can, the hosts would look to make early inroads as the ball is still relatively new and they would hope to wrap things up quickly and come out to bat. Another thrilling session awaits us.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Right then. Jonny Bairstow played a valiant knock to put his side in a commanding position. He has gotten England out of the woods. England would love to see him bat for as long as he could on Day 2. West Indies, on the other side, seem to have lost a trick with the ball after a dominating morning session. But the ball is still fairly new and the hosts would hope to start the morning session on Day 2 in a similar fashion. The first ball will be bowled at 1930 IST (1400 GMT). Do join us then. T

The bowlers lost control as the ball became old. Unlike the first session, the pacers were unable to threat the batters with any kind of movement. This forced Kraigg Brathwaite to get his spinner into the attack. But it did not work in their favour, as Bairstow and Foakes dealt with ease and kept racking up runs at a brisk rate. West Indies looked down and under, as the sixth-wicket stand kept growing. It was Jason Holder who came out with a moment of inspiration and got the better of Foakes. Th

Kemar Roach is in for a chat. He says that the pitch played a lot better than what they expected. Tells that they started well in the Lunch session and got on the back foot after that but are still happy. Mentions that his plan for tomorrow is to get early wickets and be more consistent with his lines and lengths.

What a session for England this was. They lost only a single wicket of Ben Foakes, that too after he put up a solid stand of 99 runs with Jonny Bairstow while England racked up 123 runs in the final session. Well, Bairstow who was kept in the side for racking up runs down the order, seems to have accepted the role with open arms as he racked up his eighth Test century. If not for him, England would’ve been bundled out for a cheaper score. Chris Woakes showed good resilience in the end and

What a comeback by the visitors! They were bogged down to 57/4 at the end of the first session. But England did really well to recover in the next two sessions. It was Jonny Bairstow, who was the backbone of this English innings. In the final hour of the final session, Bairstow-Woakes stitched a solid stand of 54 runs to end their day on a high. Jonny Bairstow walks back with a huge round of applause from his team-mates and he deserves every bit of this.

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

Right then. England batters have their task cut out after an horrendous display with the blade. West Indies, on the flip side, have the upper hand in the game. They will hope to come back in the second session and try to wrap things up as early as possible. An enticing session of cricket awaits. Do join us at 2210 IST (1640 GMT) for the middle session to find out what happens.

Oh my god! What cricket did we just witness? Looks like the hosts have blown away the opposition in the first session itself. The English batters could not justify their skipper’s decision to bat first and see themselves teetering at 57/4. It is harsh but it’s the truth that England’s poor form with the bat in red-ball cricket prevails.

A four-men pace attack is certainly doing the trick for West Indies. The first session certainly belonged to them as they gave away only 57 runs and took 4 wickets. The opening bowling pair of Roach-Seales made sure to keep things tight and put the visitors on the back foot instantly. Roach bagged two wickets while Seales took a wicket. But to be honest, Jason Holder was pick of the bowlers in the morning session, as he bowled 5 maiden overs on the trot and also got a wicket under his belly. Â

The opening woes continue for England in Test cricket. The English camp added some new names to the side while shockingly left out some big names, and thought this may turn things around for them. But it certainly did not go as per their plan. England openers were sent back to the pavilion within the opening 4 overs, but Zak Crawley and Alex Lees did hit some glorious shots before folding out. The visitors even lost Root soon after and Dan Lawrence followed suit. But in the end, Stokes and

Kemar Roach (6-1-28-2) comes back into the attack. 

There is some halt in play. Looks like the DJ is having some issue with his set up. There is some disturbance cause due to the same. Looks like we are good to continue. 

Jonny Bairstow is the new man in.

Drinks! What a great first hour for West Indies. They have got 3 wickets including the wicket of Joe Root who is the backbone of England. Ben Stokes and Dan Lawrence need to do some repair work now and would look to stay at the crease till Lunch as England cannot afford to lose any more wickets.  Change from both ends! Alzarri Joseph to operate now. He replaces Kemar Roach. 

Jason Holder is brought into the attack now. He replaces Jayden Seales.

Kemar Roach to Dan Lawrence, Length ball, on off. Dan Lawrence defends it out watchfully.

Ben Stokes is the new man in.

Dan Lawrence is the new batsman in. 

The England skipper, Joe Root walks in at number 3. 

England have opted a review for an LBW. UltraEdge shows there is a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside off, the impact is umpire's call and it is wickets hitting. So, England retain their review but Alex Lees will have to depart as the original decision stands. 

PITCH REPORT - Sir Curtly Ambrose says that once the early moisture is gone, the pitch will become good for batting. Says that there is not much grass on it as well. Mark Butcher reckons that the pitch should dry out and open up a few cracks with first-innings runs being the key. 

We are done with the pre-match formalities. The players now stride out to the middle. Alex Lees, the Durham debutant is set to open alongside Zak Crawley. Kemar Roach to start the proceedings with the ball. Before he steams in, the players take a knee in support of the BLM movement. Let's go. Three slips and a gully in place for Roach. 

Jayden Seales to operate from the other end. 

Both the teams stride out to the middle and lineup for the national anthem. Both sides are wearing black armbands to show respect for Shane Warne, Rod Marsh and Sunny Ramadin. First, the national anthem of England will be played followed by West Indies'.

Joe Root, the English skipper, is in for a chat. He says, they will bat first. Mentions the pitch looks very dry. Also says that the first session would be very crucial, as the condition may deterioate through the game. Kraigg Brathwaite, the West Indies skipper joins the chat. He says, they are thinking about the processes. They will try to stick to their plans and everything should fall in place. Mentions, the boys are really hungry and it should be a good contest. Adds that there is a spinn

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), John Campbell, Shamarh Brooks, Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Jason Holder, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Veerasammy Permaul, Jayden Seales.

England (Playing XI) - Zak Crawley, Alex Lees (On debut), Joe Root (C), Dan Lawrence, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (WK), Chris Woakes, Craig Overton, Mark Wood, Jack Leach.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of England. They have opted to BAT first.

... DAY 1, SESSION 1 ...

There are some enthralling series in action in the red-ball cricket and now here we are to entertain you with another coverage as England take on the West Indies. Both teams have their own flaws to battle in this format and are also at the bottom of the World Test Championship table. Both sides have some exciting players on their side and an intense battle can be expected over the course of the next five days. On that note, welcome to the coverage of the first Test.

West Indies' last assignment was the limited overs tour to India where they failed to win even a single game. Before that, they played 5 T20Is against England and won the series 3-2. They haven't played any red ball cricket off late and their last series came against Sri Lanka which they lost 2-0. They would be hoping to turn their fortunes this time around. They would be keen to bring on their A game and kick off the series on a winning note at their own backyard. 

England on the other hand, would be raring to go as they have a point to prove in this series after a humiliating 0-4 thrashing in the Ashes series Down Under. The humiliating campaign also propelled many major changes in the England squad. Hence, it will be interesting to see how the side fares against West Indies. Notably, England’s last visit to the Caribbean Islands wasn’t memorable as they suffered a 1-2 defeat in the Test series. Joe Root's men will be definitely eager to perform bette
