[Sussex Nomad]

Weather looks absolutely gorgeous.

 

[vegster]

So, no BBC coverage again? how long have Talkshite got the contract?

 

[Beach Hut]

Moen the spinner bowling

 

[Titanic]

West Indies 50-0 (17.5 overs) Brathwaite 6*(58) Campbell 44*(49)

 

[Titanic]

Moeen Ali STRIKES

Campbell trapped in front... and he's a goner. No review.

53-1 (18.1 overs)

 

[Beach Hut]

Well done Moeen

 

[Titanic]

Lunch day one

West Indies 89-1 (30 overs)

Brathwaite 31* (89) Hope 14* (38)

The only wicket to fall: Campbell lbw Moeen Ali 44 (53 balls).

Good session for the toss-winners.

 

[Gwylan]

Windies 105-1

There's a big part of me would like to see Windies make a good show of things in this series. I grew up watching some of their awesome players and it doesn't seem right to see them struggling.

Shannon Gabriel looks a class bowler, they just need some batters to knuckle down

 

[Mackenzie]

Yep. Pleased that WI are doing well, in some ways it’s a shame Jofra has chosen England.

 

[Beach Hut]

Bye Bravo, LBW to Stokes 128/3

So, no BBC coverage again? how long have Talkshite got the contract?

Far, far too long

 

[studio150]

Covers coming on, raining

 

[vegster]

Far, far too long

Shat. This " Cricket Social " thing is awful, i'm sure it's only been done to keep the contracted cricket commentators in a job til the summer.

 

[BensGrandad]

Seems a day for most with the bat lets just hope our batsmen can copy them when the time comes.

 

[Titanic]

Jimmy strikes with the new ball... simple catch for Root at first slip

240-5

One more tonight would be a great effort

 

[Titanic]

Got 'im. Dowrich all at sea against the moving ball.


Jimmy again

6 down

 

[jakarta]

Nice to see someone batting bareheaded against spin bowling earlier...

 

[Titanic]

This Hetmyer is something.. 52 from 52 balls

 

[Titanic]

Awesome from Jimmy Anderson late in the day... 4th wicket.. Holder caught & bowled.

261-7

This final half hour with the new ball has turned it England's way.

 

[Titanic]

Jimmy Anderson leads the way

Figures of 24-12-33-4 today... and he has taken his 200th Test wicket outside England
