given how much Root loves to play off the back foot it's amazing how much he's struggling here

Jonny caught by Shai on 30. Bounce doing the trick for Shanon. :clap

I imagine his brain is a bit frazzled after the debacle of the first innings

good review from Stokes, ball turning noe though, and a big patch of rough outside his off stump

big moment? Gabriel going off looks like a problem with his toe

Campbell finished that over. Could he miss the second test?

Warrican to replace him?

Stokes must be in the worst knick of his career

Problem is he's a number 6 or 7 being forced to bat at 5 because we don't have any proper batsmen

Joe gives catching practice to Darren Bravo in slips. Poor shot. Roston gets the big fish. :clap

England 167/4 in 57.3 overs.

Moeen should be batting 10 on current form

Good effort from WI. Even their part time spinner playing a part. Preview I saw said Chase was on his way out as a bowler.

Indeed!

Chase proving his worth as a bowler in this match.
