96mph, we're in for a game here.

The crowd, that has been very quiet, finally makes some noise.

Here comes Mark Wood in place of Gus Atkinson, and he immediately rouses the crowd with a burst of mid-90s pace.

The first ball draws an edge from Louis, squirting towards point for two.

The next ball flies wide of off and is left well alone by Louis, but the 96mph on the speed gun cheers the spectators mightily.

Serious pace does that.

Everything's perfect except the fact that it's at Trent Bridge.

I never scored a run here.

All through the off side today, Brathwaite adding another four with a well-judged shot to the long-off ropes from the bowling of Woakes.

These do look like wonderful batting conditions.

Mikyle Louis had three from 17 balls going into Gus Atkinson's fourth over, and may have feared getting bogged down.

He relieves some of the pressure by timing Atkinson's first ball to the long on boundary for four.

Nice start here form the West Indies, they would've been concerned after that Lord's showing and would've been slightly jittery in the locker room.

One day someone will do a thesis on if tapping the pitch after a let makes any difference.

I suspect not.

And there's another four for Brathwaite, driving away through the covers after a Woakes delivery sat up to be hit.

The one scoring shot of the over.

Really well put away from Brathwaite, it came up short and he just hammered it.

Brathwaite has looked a little more confident than his opening partner thus far, he picks up another four by whipping Atkinson's delivery past Ben Stokes at point.

They're playing very carefully at the moment.

Just a single from the over, as Brathwaite nudges Woakes into the covers.

I think I can pretty definitively say I know more about cricket than I do about gymnastics, Buster.

That said, our headteacher Mrs Ward ran gymnastics classes when I was in primary school, I think I got up to badge four - I had it sewn onto my shorts.

I not sure that involved any flick flacks or Arab springs, but I imagine there was a solid forward roll involved.

Perhaps I am a loss to the gymnastics - Max Whitlock may owe his career to me.

Gus Atkinson took 12-106 on his debut which is the second-best figures on Test debut for England.

It was also the best since 1890 where Fred 'Nutty' Martin took 12-102 against Australia at The Oval.

A first maiden of the day, Gus Atkinson sending down six scoreless deliveries to Mikyle Louis.

Brathwaite picks up two into mid-wicket, working Woakes into the leg side.

It looks to be a great day for batting at Trent Bridge, these openers will want to set a platform.
