Welcome back for England's reply.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

Just as Athanaze and Hodge were beginning to put England under the pump through their intent, Atkinson struck thrice in a single over before Chris Woakes got into the act to reduce the West Indies from 88/3 to 88/7. Atkinson ran through the tail and then Anderson completed the formalities by picking the last wicket. West Indies will be very disappointed with their batting effort, especially after the way they started both sessions. With the skies likely to stay overcast, West Indies will hav

Well, things escalated pretty quickly after Lunch, didn't they? This has been a collapse of some enormity for the West Indies. Gus Atkinson was the chief architect of the Windies collapse, returning figures of 7 for 45, including 5 maidens on Test debut. Nothing short of a dream debut for the 26-year-old right arm-pacer as he leads the England team back into the dressing room. Half an hour into the second session, West Indies were going along rather nicely with both Alick Athanaze and Kavem

... DAY 1, SESSION 2 ...

As far as England are concerned, they will be pleased with the way they fought back after a quiet first 40 minutes or so. James Anderson and Chris Woakes started the proceedings for England but were guilty of bowling too short, failing to induce false shots from the batters. This resulted in a wicketless first half hour for England on a slow, docile wicket. The introduction of extra pace did the trick for the hosts as debutant Gus Atkinson struck with his second delivery in Test cricket and to

End of an attritional session of Test cricket, one where neither of the two sides will be too happy or too disappointed with the proceedings. West Indies started well but lost three quick wickets but one feels that they have gotten through the toughest phase of batting. Facing Anderson and Woakes in challenging conditions was always going to be a test for the West Indies openers. Mikyle Louis and Kraigg Brathwaite initially gave a good account of themselves, with Louis quick to punish loose

Welcome back for England's reply.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

Just as Athanaze and Hodge were beginning to put England under the pump through their intent, Atkinson struck thrice in a single over before Chris Woakes got into the act to reduce the West Indies from 88/3 to 88/7. Atkinson ran through the tail and then Anderson completed the formalities by picking the last wicket. West Indies will be very disappointed with their batting effort, especially after the way they started both sessions. With the skies likely to stay overcast, West Indies will hav

Well, things escalated pretty quickly after Lunch, didn't they? This has been a collapse of some enormity for the West Indies. Gus Atkinson was the chief architect of the Windies collapse, returning figures of 7 for 45, including 5 maidens on Test debut. Nothing short of a dream debut for the 26-year-old right arm-pacer as he leads the England team back into the dressing room. Half an hour into the second session, West Indies were going along rather nicely with both Alick Athanaze and Kavem

... DAY 1, SESSION 2 ...

As far as England are concerned, they will be pleased with the way they fought back after a quiet first 40 minutes or so. James Anderson and Chris Woakes started the proceedings for England but were guilty of bowling too short, failing to induce false shots from the batters. This resulted in a wicketless first half hour for England on a slow, docile wicket. The introduction of extra pace did the trick for the hosts as debutant Gus Atkinson struck with his second delivery in Test cricket and to

End of an attritional session of Test cricket, one where neither of the two sides will be too happy or too disappointed with the proceedings. West Indies started well but lost three quick wickets but one feels that they have gotten through the toughest phase of batting. Facing Anderson and Woakes in challenging conditions was always going to be a test for the West Indies openers. Mikyle Louis and Kraigg Brathwaite initially gave a good account of themselves, with Louis quick to punish loose

DRINKS! At the halfway stage of the opening session, both teams have reasons to be satisfied with their performance so far. However, England might be slightly happier, having secured the breakthrough they were seeking after a resilient start from the West Indian openers. The bowling change worked wonders for Ben Stokes as Gus Atkinson struck on his second delivery, sending the opposing captain Kraigg Brathwaite back to the pavilion. Mikyle Louis is looking solid and will need to navigate

... SECOND INNINGS ...

Just as Athanaze and Hodge were beginning to put England under the pump through their intent, Atkinson struck thrice in a single over before Chris Woakes got into the act to reduce the West Indies from 88/3 to 88/7. Atkinson ran through the tail and then Anderson completed the formalities by picking the last wicket. West Indies will be very disappointed with their batting effort, especially after the way they started both sessions. With the skies likely to stay overcast, West Indies will hav

Well, things escalated pretty quickly after Lunch, didn't they? This has been a collapse of some enormity for the West Indies. Gus Atkinson was the chief architect of the Windies collapse, returning figures of 7 for 45, including 5 maidens on Test debut. Nothing short of a dream debut for the 26-year-old right arm-pacer as he leads the England team back into the dressing room. Half an hour into the second session, West Indies were going along rather nicely with both Alick Athanaze and Kavem

... DAY 1, SESSION 2 ...

As far as England are concerned, they will be pleased with the way they fought back after a quiet first 40 minutes or so. James Anderson and Chris Woakes started the proceedings for England but were guilty of bowling too short, failing to induce false shots from the batters. This resulted in a wicketless first half hour for England on a slow, docile wicket. The introduction of extra pace did the trick for the hosts as debutant Gus Atkinson struck with his second delivery in Test cricket and to

End of an attritional session of Test cricket, one where neither of the two sides will be too happy or too disappointed with the proceedings. West Indies started well but lost three quick wickets but one feels that they have gotten through the toughest phase of batting. Facing Anderson and Woakes in challenging conditions was always going to be a test for the West Indies openers. Mikyle Louis and Kraigg Brathwaite initially gave a good account of themselves, with Louis quick to punish loose
