  1. WI 44-0published at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2022

    We're about to get under way after lunch.

    10 overs into the innings, spinner Jack Leach is going to bowl.

    I'm saying nuffin.

    That morning session very much belonged to the West Indies. England wanted 350 plus, but only added 43. England's attack was disappointing, with four bowlers used in 10 overs conceding seven fours.

    Is it wrong to feel just a little sorry for Overton and Woakes? They must know what a lot of people are thinking.

    Daniel Seal: You give new talent a chance when they're better than what you've got currently. This isn't a Lions tour! You should play the best team available for every Test!

    Kraigg Brathwaite has capitalised on every bad ball with serious intent. He's putting the pressure right on the bowlers.

    Let's hold fire with the conversation about James Anderson and Stuart Broad for now, because the reset applies to the bowlers too and could take time. But that was definitely the West Indies' morning.

    Botham, Swann and Hoggard are on the sofa and they have 900 wickets between them. Sometimes you just have to move on and give new talent a chance.

    It has been a poor start with the new ball for England with Leach on after eight overs. There is a very strong wind so maybe there is a bit of an issue with that.

    The combination of Woakes and Overton won't have too many opening batsmen shaking in their boots.

    Jimmy/Stuart, if you're reading this text the word "sofa" to 81111.

    Standard message rates apply but you won't care about that.

    Can we find out if Anderson and Broad of the aforementioned 1,177 Test wickets actually are on the sofa at home?

    I think that's a compliment. How do I follow that? I feel like Craig Overton trying to step into Jimmy Anderson's shoes.

    Probably have to give that session to West Indies on balance, I reckon.

    I'm going to grab a cuppa so my colleague Matthew Henry, Sunderland's answer to Neville Cardus in many respects, will guide you through the lunch break and the afternoon session.

    Kevin Jones: Not the start we wanted. Leach on in the 9th seems very early but hopefully the afternoon session gives us something something to cheer about

  19. Intervalpublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2022

    West Indies add a couple more before lunch to reach 44-0 off 10.0 overs at lunch.

    Kraigg Brathwaite has a run-a-ball 29 not out while John Campbell is unbeaten on 14.

    A penny for the thoughts of two of England's greatest fast bowlers twiddling their thumbs, supping tea and tucking into a pack of ginger biscuits at home.
