The umpires questions are great on tms lunch

I know everything about cricket, or so I'm told... by myself.

Yet there is always a an umpiring question that absolutely stumps me (pun intended). Then I have to rush to rules and pretend I knew all along.

And another for Woakes... not a great shot from Joseph

Alzarri Joseph c Stokes b Woakes 15 (31b 1x4 0x6) SR: 48.38

244-7

 

[A1X]

Terrific reactions by Root to get behind the keeper and catch one that looped over him

270-9, looks well short on this wicket it has to be said

 

[Eeyore]

Don't want Jaydon getting out to a SURREY bowler here.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Honestly ridiculous shot choices.

Bloody hell. Just came back from kitchen preping dinner and we’re three down

Close of play Day One

West Indies 282 all out, and England close on 38-3 (8 overs).

Quite a first day - again the match is moving along at a cracking pace.

 

[The Wizard]

Incredible batting from England

 

[CHAPPERS]

Seales and Robinson will be quite the opening attack in Divison 1 next season.

 

[maltaseagull]

Incredible batting from England

To be fair, we have been spoilt recently. This batting performance is reverting to type.

 

[Titanic]

Stokes survives a review... to be fair, he wasn't close to it.

50 partnership for Root 41 and Stokes 17

105-5, trailing by 177

England batsmen both set, obviously we will lose a wicket just before Lunch...

Smith is a real talent but would still prefer him as back up to Foakes.

218-6, Root a bit becalmed...
