    Trail by 200

    As Carlos suggests, the (very, very) early signs are Ben Stokes will be an attacking captain. Brathwaite is the first batter of the summer to have to deal with a nasty Archer bouncer. He evades it well.

    With four slips and a gully there is plenty of open space.

  4. WI 3-0published at 1.3 overs

    Good point, JN.

    It's a pacey start from Archer, the ball thudding into Jos Buttler's gloves infront of his pace.

    Campbell solidly pushes the third ball down the ground for the first runs of the innings.

    Re Sam Bloom. Freddie and KP had tattoos, no?

    Jofra Archer will share the new ball. John Campbell is on strike. Campbell likes a shot or two. This could be fun.

    Looking at James Anderson, Ollie Pope and Ben Stokes, it would appear England's cricketers have not had the same lockdown access to hair maintenance that Premier League footballers were afforded.

    Brathwaite 0, Campbell 0

    Jimmy, another who has been too scared to let a family member free with the scissors in lockdown, has his hair all pulled back with a very dapper headband. He suits it.

    Anderson has the gritty opener Kraigg Brathwaite in his sights, someone he has had plenty of success against in the past.

    England's greatest starts with a maiden.

    Of course Jimmy Anderson is opening the bowling. Which of the speedsters will get the new ball at the other end?

    Is Ben Stokes the first England Test captain with tattoos?

    I don't think England's score is terrible but it's not great. Ben Stokes is leading his team out to the middle for the first time.

    They're going to have to bowl well.

    West Indies have really learned from yesterday. Phil Simmons said they had to hit the stumps more and they have been rewarded. Brilliant bowling from Jason Holder.

    England are just below par but West Indies will have to bat well.

  14. Four for Gabriel...published at 16:07 British Summer Time 9 July 2020

    Gabriel wasn't bad either. My kind of fast bowler...

    Holder 6-42. Gabriel 4-62. There is something very pleasing about those bowling figures.

    Thanks Kal.

    England can't say they weren't warned. West Indies did this to them in the Caribbean 15 months ago.

    Plenty for you to see on today's full highlights on BBC Two at 19:00 BST... If you dare.

    We had hardly any cricket yesterday. But we've more than made up for it so far today as Jason Holder, assisted well by Shannon Gabriel, has put West Indies in control.

    But let's see how England's seam trio of Anderson, Archer and Wood perform on this wicket.

    And seeing you through the evening session will be Matt Henry.

    West Indies' tall, hit-the-seam bowler takes six wickets. Stuart Broad might have been a handful....

    James Billington: Today marks the day where I’ve officially seen more England batting collapses than had hot dinners.

    GC: Not quite a disaster but not quite respectable either.
