BBC Sport at Edgbaston

A sunny morning with a few fluffy clouds slowly drifting across the ground here at Edgbaston - I'll leave the specific classification of clouds to more learned colleagues.

There's a a few tinges of green on the pitch but it looks like a belter.

We're all set for a cracking day of Test match cricket.

England captain Ben Stokes: "When you have two very dominant performances, it's hard to make changes. Everyone has stood up, so hopefully we can do the same again this week.

"You come to Edgbaston and wicket always looks a belter. Not winning the toss allows us the opportunity to continue our good work with the ball.

"We've always been able to put West Indies under pressure. Hopefully we can do the same again."

West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite: "We're going to have bat. The pitch looks a good one and the weather is good so we've got to utilise that.

"The last Test was important but we've got to work extremely hard. At least it shows we can get it down so we've got to work hard and get it done.

"We fully back our top six and we look forward to seeing some good things from them here.

"It is just belief. England will come hard and we've got to work extremely hard."

Ben Stokes says he would have batted, so you know the conditions really are good for batting.

Kraigg Brathwaite calls heads and the coin comes down his way.

There's a pause, Ben Stokes waits with a handshake, then Brathwaite says his side will have a bat.

Shamar Joseph is passed fit after a bout of illness.

Yep, there may be a little event getting under way in Paris, but we all know that the centre of the sporting universe remains Test cricket.

England are aiming for a 3-0 clean sweep over West Indies at Edgbaston and the coin is about to go skywards.

3-0?
