So a bit of drama in that first over. West Indies don't lose their review as it was umpire's call. And remember, both sides have three reviews in each innings.

The umpire could easily have given that out. It looked out. It was just umpire's call.

Umpire's call. England and Burns survive. The ball, which nipped back a little, would have just struck the top of off stump.

It looked pretty straight from here.

Burns looks to leave, the ball comes back into him and he is struck on the pads. Given not out, West Indies review.

Burns defends and steers it down to gully. A low-key start but who cares? It's back.

Are you ready? Pinch yourself, it's really happening.

Cricket is back.

The world is watching.

Here we go...

West Indies' way of winning the Test match is to take three or four wickets this afternoon. That is their way of getting ahead in the game. If England can weather the storm I think they'll be batting in the best period of the game.

Kemar Roach is the key man. If he sets the tone right West Indies will go well.

All of the players, from both sides, have taken a knee on the boundary line as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Sir Everton was a wonderful batsman, great company in the commentary box and a legendary figure in cricket.

There will now be a minute's silence in memory of all those who have died from Covid-19 and also for West Indies legend Everton Weekes, who died last week aged 95.

Umpires Kettleborough and Illingworth are hovering just outside the boundary rope and getting ready to make their way to the middle. They will be followed by the West Indies XI and England's opening pairing of Rory Burns and Dom Sibley. Burns is currently sat on a spectator seat, calming some last minute nerves no doubt.

I personally hope Jason Holder opens the bowling. In this first hour you want the bowlers that are going to challenge the batsman the most. In this situation I think it's most suited to him because you don't want Shannon Gabriel easing himself back in after a serious injury and them getting away at one end.

• As we have said, there will be no fans inside the grounds during this three-match series.
• Players are not allowed to add saliva to the ball to help it swing and there will be a five-run penalty if teams repeatedly break the rules.
• The matches will be officiated by non-neutral umpires after the ICC relaxed rules during the pandemic.
• Teams are allowed three reviews per innings to cover for the fact there may be a lower-standard of umpires officiating.
• Players' shirts are also now allowed to feature a sponsor on the front.

I think the first hour will determine and set up the series for West Indies. This is the strength of the West Indies and this is how they will win the series - by bowling England out twice. It's about getting them three or four down and keeping them on the back foot.

There will be a minimum of 70 overs today if there are no more disruptions.

Tea will be at 16:30 BST, with close scheduled for 19:00 with the option for an extra half an hour.

We have international cricketers, in their whites, warming up on the outfield.

Fifteen minutes to go.

So, Stuart Broad's omission is confirmed. Clearly, it's exciting to see James Anderson, Jofra Archer and Mark Wood form England's pace attack, but it's brave for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, England have left out the second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket over the past 12 months. In that time, Broad has played 12 Tests. Injuries have meant Anderson, Archer and Wood have played 12 matches between them - and in one of them Anderson only managed four overs.

England: Dom Sibley, Rory Burns, Joe Denly, Zak Crawley, Ben Stokes (capt), Ollie Pope, Jos Buttler (wk), Dom Bess, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, James Anderson.

West Indies: Kraigg Brathwaite, John Campbell, Shamarh Brooks, Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Jermaine Blackwood, Shane Dowrich (wk), Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Shannon Gabriel.

Umpires: Richard Kettleborough, Richard Illingworth; TV umpire: Michael Gough.

It is the right call to bat. I haven't seen the wicket but, having played here, it doesn't do as much here as you think it will. It will do something in the first hour but I don't think it will swing massively.
