Gubbin's form last season might attract a rather obvious epithet.

137-4. But runs not easy to come by in the Caribbean.

Fifty partnership at the end of the day by Coughlin and R-Jones turns things around for England.

It'll be interesting to see how Leach and Crane operate on this pitch.

The England Lions posted 233-6 on the first day of their "Test" in Trelawny, thanks mainly to knocks of 51 not out for Coughlin, 50 from Nick Gubbins, and 49 from Keaton Jennings. Bulky offspinner Rahkeem Cornwall has taken three wickets to date for the West Indies 'A' team.

England 256 all out. Cornwall 5-68.

It's going to be hard to ignore him.

Leach having a better bowl than Crane, who was a bit expensive on what is presumably a helpful pitch.

I have wondered what was behind the hype around Crane....

On the second day of their match at Florence Hall, 12 wickets fell. Offspinner Rahkeem Cornwall took 5-68 to dismiss the England Lions for 252 all out, Paul Coughlin topscoring with 60. Jack Leach then struck back taking three wickets to date to leave the West Indies 'A' team reeling at 114-8, as the top order failed to make an impact. An unbroken ninth wicket partnership between wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich (90) and tailender Jomel Warrican (54) carried the 'A' team to 232-8 at stumps.
