True, it would just make so much more sense to have the new batsmen at 2,4 and 6 rather than 2,3 and 5 just to add a bit more stability to the top order.

I think I've noticed before that Root has a good record in the first Test of a series.

Might be his second ton in a first Test this summer coming up.

Looks like a great series for the English players to improve their stats.

Really lazy shot that from Root, not what you'd expect to see a man on nearly 150 play!

They are scheduled to come off in twenty minutes and it's not fully dark yet.

New ball in an over. WI could have a good last ten overs here and not look so badly placed.

Only if Jason takes the second new ball!

This is a bit of a joke from the West Indies, what are they playing at? Hardest conditions to bat in, surely it's not particularly difficult to work out the best way of dealing with the new ball.
