Thanks, Matthew - genuinely overjoyed to be back in the office/watching cricket/have a workmate deliver baked goods to the end of my desk.

Andrew puts it nicely. Burns' bat was socially distanced from his pad. Poor batting.
Anyway, Amy Lofthouse is bursting with excitement at the prospect of describing some live cricket. Here she is...

Si Lomas: Roston Chase wreaking havoc with his innocuous non turners again.
Ashley Nicholls: What an awful awful review from Burns! Bang in front, just walk!
Andrew Bevan: Awful shot from Burns, bat completely socially distant from ball and pad. If he can't play Roston Chase at OT what hope does he have on the sub continent?

End of twitter postLunch - Eng 29-1published at 13:35 British Summer Time 16 July 2020
The England players in the dressing room will have been all set to applaud Burns and Sibley in but that wicket will now have put a downer on their lunch.
Burns should be kicking himself.

Burns lbw Chase 15 (Eng 29-1)
That is so out.
It's the final action of the session. A perfect time for West Indies to take a wicket to recover somewhat after some poor bowling. England were so close to getting through to lunch.
It straightened a tiny bit but Burns has just missed a regulation ball from Roston Chase.

Burns has missed it by a mile. He's in trouble.

England reviewpublished at 13:29 British Summer Time 16 July 2020
Oh Rory! This looked out.
He's given lbw to Roston Chase. How does Chase do it? He doesn't spin the ball?!
Postpublished at 13:28 British Summer Time 16 July 2020
Spinner Roston Chase is coming on despite the gloom and the floodlights being on. That probably tells you things haven't gone to plan for West Indies.
Eng 28-0published at 13 overs
Burns 15, Sibley 7
Dom Sibley misses out on a short and wide ball from Joseph that he only clunks for a single. That probably deserved to go for four.
Sibley only has seven from 44 balls which considering how poor West Indies have been isn't great but to be fair there hasn't been that many balls he could reach.

End of twitter postEng 24-0published at 12 overs
West Indies may have only bowled five balls in that over. Either that or I can't count to six.
Infuriatingly, there are only six minutes to go until lunch.
Eng 21-0published at 11.1 overs
Holder drifts onto the pads of Rory Burns and the England opener tickles him fine for the first boundary off the bat.
If this was England bowling so poorly Twitter would be starting to whir.
Eng 17-0published at 11 overs
We've just seen a pitch map on the TV that plots where all of the West Indies deliveries have landed this morning. It looks like someone has walked out and scattered a load of snooker balls across the pitch.
Even Ronnie O'Sullivan would have difficulty mapping out a route between all of them.
A mess.
