WI 128-2published at 41 overs
Carlos Brathwaite was right when he told us Brooks would impress.
That said, Brooks takes a painful blow on the back forearm at the end of Wood's over. 90.5mph. That'll hurt.

I'm sure many of you are looking forward to getting out there again this weekend. Will you be feeling the same after getting bowled second ball on the slog sweep?
Stokes has turned back to Mark Wood.

Jimmy Anderson is having a giggle with his old mucker Stuart Broad down on the boundary edge. I wonder if Anderson agreed with the decision not to include Broad.
On that, here's what Broad had to say...

BBC Sport at SouthamptonThe sunshine has brought a greater buzz around the ground, more activity. Some of the England subs take a lap of the boundary, while others are happy to sit on plastic chairs underneath the dressing room. Even Ed Smith had a brief period sitting in the stands.

Brathwaite 51, Brooks 19
England have got this wrong haven't they? These look lovely conditions for batting now.
This is the only wicket today...

The lack of applause for a boundary really is a shame. You'd think Shamarh Brooks had just played two forward defensive shots but in fact he's played two perfect extra cover drives to Bess.
Brooks looks a player! He has 18 from 17 balls.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialBess has bowled nicely. A bit of drift, bowling at a bit of pace. The odd ball is turning but as the Test goes on we'll see more spin.

Brooks looks an organised player. He drops his hands to a couple of balls that go by at rib height before stealing a single.

Archer's stomp gets a little more pronounced as Brooks flicks him fine down to fine leg. Ben Stokes is warming up at slip.
This may be Archer's final over.

BBC Sport at SouthamptonI don't know if this is a good thing or not, but Dom Bess' skip at the beginning of his run-up really is reminiscent of Nathan Lyon.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialKraigg Brathwaite, first 50 of the match. He's played very nicely indeed. Great control, skill levels and playing the ball late.
50 for Brathwaitepublished at 37 overs
The first fifty of the match goes to Kraigg Brathwaite.
You could easily have not noticed with only the West Indies balcony here to applaud.
Only a slight wave of the bat from the batsman. He looks sheepish to be doing so with no-one in the ground.

Archer bangs away once more with his frustration building despite Bess' wicket.
This is why...

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is not an easy wicket to start on, especially when you're facing the likes of Jofra Archer. You have to play the ball straight and as late as you possibly can.
