I'd say Sam Curran is the most in need of a barber out of all of the England players. His hair is wild.
He's finding more swing than Broad or Woakes managed. Brathwaite, never one to be too expansive, looks like he's only going to use one shot before the close. The block.

G Pirlo FI: Sam Curran showing his worth in an England shirt once again already. Brilliant cricketer and not just with the ball...

Get some more in around the bat!

Bess' hands are on his head after Joseph edges one to third man but I think that was pretty well played. Alzarri has some bling boots with more than a flash of gold. You can't wear those if you can't play. Joseph drives nicely for three.

Andy: Sam Curran: always makes things happen.
Dom Bess is on for a bowl with just over 10 minutes before the close.

Sam Curran takes an awful lot of wickets for someone who never quite manages to nail down a place in the team.
Alzarri Joseph comes out as West Indies nightwatchman.

John Campbell, the one left-hander, is walking off rather dejected.

Nip another one here and they'll be absolutely laughing...
Campbell lbw Curran 12 (WI 16-1)
Sam Curran makes the breakthrough four balls into his spell. It's plumb lbw.
There were two noises - the ball hitting both pads - which is what has fooled the umpire, I think.
Good review from England.
NO bat!
If John Campbell hasn't hit this then he is in trouble.
England call for a review.
Image source, AFPIn fact here Sam Curran is. He's found himself a headband too. Headwear is obviously a requirement to be in the England bowling attack these days.

There are 20 minutes to go in the day. We might be seeing some Sam Curran action shortly.
I said this in the last Test but I'd definitely have been nominating a member of the squad to be the team barber if protocols allow. It can't be much worse than some of these barnets.
I suggested Joe Denly would be my man of choice last week. He has time on his hands now too.

Matt Winn: Does Broady know that the barbers are back open now?

Hello, John Campbell! That's a lovely drive down the ground for four. It can't be easy as a left-hander facing Stuart Broad in bowler-friendly conditions but that was top class.
The final ball of the over scoots low. Campbell did well to get bat on it. That's not a good sign for West Indies with a lot of batting to do.
Brathwaite 4, Campbell 7
England might have hope for a little more drama in this opening period. There has been just the one serious appeal.
Joe Root has three slips and a gully patiently waiting.
