For all the talk of resets, it's a familiar tale for England... Joe Root walking out to bat far too early.
He gets off the mark in a very Joe Root-esque way on what looks to be a very slow, flat pitch.
A familiar sight - Joe Root walks to the middle with England having lost an early wicket.
A familiar sight - Joe Root looks solid from the outset, the captain off the mark with a boundary.

It's Just N̶o̶t̶ Cricket: Ah, I wish I'd forgotten this feeling.
Lees lbw b Roach (Eng 12-1)
Umpire's call on impact! Alex Lees' England debut does not go to plan.
It was clever bowling from Roach. With so much swing on offer this morning, this one just held its line and hit Lees just above the knee roll.
Eng 12-1
Ah! Alex Lees is trapped in front and it's given lbw!
England review. Did it hit the opener's front pad outside the line? I think he's in trouble.
Lovely stuff as Crawley finds the boundary again. A bit too much width from Seales and the England opener drills it through cover.
Positive start this from the tourists.
Shot. A fuller delivery from Seales and Crawley effortlessly punches straight down the ground for four.
Jayden Seales to bowl the second over. The 20-year-old is a huge talent. He has 16 wickets so far in the four Tests he's played.

Didn't mind dropping Broad and Anderson if it meant trying someone new like Mahmood, but fail to see the point in dropping them for Woakes and Overton.

As we've all become accustomed to, The Barmy Army give us an early rendition of 'Jerusalem' on day one of an England Test.
Lees is off the mark in international cricket with a boundary. The opener digs out a yorker from Roach and the ball races through backward point.
Aaaand we're off. Away swing from Roach as Lees shoulders his arms and allows it to go by.
Straight into action for Alex Lees. He's on strike with Kemar Roach bowling first up.

We've heard so much about a 'red-ball reset' with England - they've had a torrid year, but they're trying something new here - we'll see how they get on, but England's record in the Caribbean is poor
Alexander Zak Lees and Zak Crawley stride to the middle. All about the Zaks.
Players from both teams take the knee as the Antigua crowd serve a round of applause.
That sounds promising, Aggers.

England have never won here at this ground, or even in Antigua.
This match is of course taking place at the Sir Viv Richards stadium.
This past week the former West Indies captain Sir Viv Richards - celebrating his 70th birthday - was speaking to BBC sports news correspondent Joe Wilson.

Time for the anthems. It's the home side first. The ridiculously tall Jason Holder standing out like a sore thumb as he towers over his team-mates.
Now England. Joe Root, sporting slicked back hair and a headband, leads the vocals.

Dr James Pope: Not picking Parkinson, Fisher or Mahmood; adding further England cricket logic to the decision to not pick our best two bowlers to Test options.
Fenners: Terrible team selection, we're meant to be rebuilding yet it's more of the same, may as well play Jimmy & Broad. Huge chance to give new guys a go has been missed, its jobs for the boys once again. This team is a closed shop.
