1st catch for Keeper Smith on debut
What we don’t want to do here is bowl them out because nobody is gonna be able to bat on that pitch in these conditions
And Pope takes a cracker hit off tge middle of the bat.
1st for Woakes.

Pope out for 50 ish, creepy looking wobbly in the late 60s when he should be calmly squishing them like a bug
Had a good run out drove to Lidl collected Mrs P_F cooked a Pizza put beers in fridge, now back watching

Stokes b Motie 4 (11)
Motie to Stokes, OUT
Bowled him, Motie has turned one big out of nowhere! Lovely loop outside off, and I think it may have dipped and landed on a footmark. Stokes loses control of his bat swing, plays well in front of his body and all around the ball in an attempt to whip it into the leg side, and it turns past his inside edge and crashes into his stumps

2nd Test v the Windies starts today, at Trent Bridge and…
WICKET
0.3 overs
Crawley c Athanaze b A Joseph 0 (Eng 0-1)
What a start for the West Indies!
Three superb deliveries to start from Alzarri Joseph and the third is that bit fuller.
It nips away to take Zak Crawley’s outside edge as he tries to defend and the ball flies to third slip.
Good catch low down by Alick Athanaze and the Windies decision to bowl first has paid off in the first over.
England are now 66-1 from 8 overs. Duckett on 48 from 29 balls.
Duckett now 52 from 32 balls, Eng 72-1 from 9.1 overs
