Edgbaston; first Test of three

Just like yesterday, Edgbaston had a decent number of empty seats when the first ball was bowled, but they have been filled quickly. Today is a sell-out and it looks like the majority are here for the duration. How long before we put the notion of day-night cricket suiting the after-work crowd to bed?
A double change for West Indies, with Miguel Cummins coming on for a trundle. He gets Cook playing across his pad, the ball hitting the edge of the bat, but it's all along the ground and a misfield allows Cook to take an easy single. A tidier over comes to an end with Cook having a swipe at a wide delivery, but he can only bottom edge it into the wicket.

This is such ordinary stuff from Alzarri Joseph. Yes, he's only 21, but he is playing Test cricket. He has to learn but he is not learning quick enough.

I feel your pain, Roy. When I worked in a deli - my life hasn't always been this glamorous, folks - I used to hide in the kitchen and volunteer to do the washing up so I could listen to TMS. That'll be four for Cook, as new man Alazarri Joseph serves up some leg side dross and Cook tucks it away. And again! Same sort of delivery, same result, Cook going a touch squarer this time as he pushes the ball through mid-wicket. Cook cuts furiously through point but the fielder down on the boundary comes jogging across to keep them to a single.

As an office worker I wish to strongly object to the introduction of day-night Test matches. I now have to work though until 2pm instead of the traditional 11am start of 'looking busy' - most inconsiderate of the ECB.

Holder 20.3-4-73-0
That's four. Holder loses his line, angling a loose delivery down the leg side, and for a man with a century to his name, it's so easy to get a smidgen of bat on it to help it down to the boundary. Hawk-Eye, incidentally, has just shown that the lbw shout against Cook was indeed sliding down leg. Holder readjusts ever so slightly and Cook tickles the ball off his hip for a single.

The last two or three balls had swung - if that one had swung and shaped, it may have hit middle and leg.
Roach 25-8-78-2
Ooh, Cook's been struck on the pad! He was falling over as he tried to get his bat down on that. Jason Holder comes in for a chat with Kemar Roach - and they decide not to review it. It hit Cook in the middle of the pad, in front of leg stump, but that looks as though it might have been sliding down.
Cook then opts for a quick single, setting off like his feet are in treacle, Holder takes aim at the stumps - and misses! Cook might have been struggling to get home there, but that's a better tactic from Roach, bowling at Cook's stumps, rather than letting the ball sail harmlessly wide of his off stump.

In response to John Ashton (see 14:26 entry) - in WW2 on the North African front, SAS vehicles were also painted pink for camouflage against the sands of North Africa. Perhaps the pink ball is less suitable for desert like dry pitches?

Cook 159, Malan 37
Cook pops a delivery off his pads for a leisurely single, although Kemar Roach takes aim at the stumps and misses by some distance. There's some swing for Holder too but it's ill-directed, the ball sliding down the leg side, and Malan has a brief flicker of interest before allowing it to go through to the keeper. That's a little edgy from Malan, closing the fact of his bat onto a delivery that moves in towards his pads, but he keeps it away from his stumps.

Shane Dowrich is doing a good job behind the stumps in this Test. The ball is coming through low to him and there's still the odd delivery that swings or moves away further than you're expecting it to. He gets down low to save the first delivery of the over, the ball bobbling through at knee height, before Cook throws a cut shot at Roach and ends up swishing at fresh air. There's some definite swing for Roach but he's starting too wide, the ball sailing towards the slips and it's easy for Cook to ignore the temptation to have a nibble.

In World War 2, some Spitfires were painted pink when flying recon missions because pink was harder to spot against a blue sky. So does that mean it's harder for fielders to catch the pink ball if it's gone high in the air?
John Ashton in London
Malan 36, Cook 158
Holder, two slips in place, gets a delivery to slide past Malan's bat as he pushes forward. He can't follow it up with another one, though, instead spearing a floaty ball down the leg side and Malan pushes it off his hip for an easy two. Malan's not got the rhythm of this pitch yet, but if he can hang in long enough...

Malan came in under tricky circumstances last night, with England losing the wicket of Root in the twilight. But he came in and did well, and he watched the ball nicely. What an opportunity for him to kick on here today.
Roach 23-7-77-2
Shot! Kemar Roach serves up a wide half-volley and Dawid Malan is on one knee to smash it through the covers for four. He even holds the pose afterwards for the photographers. Roach spears one down the leg side and Malan gets turned around slightly, playing across his pad, and a leading edge pings across the field to the waiting fielder. Another thudding drive from Malan surprises the man at cover and he lets the ball slip through his hands, allowing England to nab a single. Ooft, Roach then gets one to swing miles, but it's moving away from Cook, and Shane Dowrich can get only a hint of glove on it as the ball goes hooping away from him.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special
I would like to see some intent from the West Indies bowlers today. Run in as though you mean it. Let's have some bouncers. I want to see aggression.
Cook 158, Malan 29
The first run of the day! It's greeted by cheers from the crowd as Cook, pushing forward to Holder, gets a thick inside edge that trickles onto his pad and away through the leg side. And, just like buses, here comes the next run as Malan is squared up and gets a tickle of bat on a delivery that hits his thigh. A fine dive at gully stops Cook from getting a streaky boundary, but the next delivery goes a bit squarer, taking Cook's outside edge and running away for four.

This is quite a contrast to yesterday's first session, where England got off to a flier, before promptly losing two wickets. This is yet another maiden, Malan watchful, Roach bowling a tight line. A short ball momentarily troubles Malan but he adjust as the last minute to pull it safely down. In fact, looking at the replay, that barely got up to waist height on the batsman.
