They have rested Anderson when they resumed cricket after 4 months  , the selectors are really stupid if they really did that as the best bowling partnership is Stuart Broad and James Anderson and if they still want to experiment then i expect West Indies to win again and then they will have right thinking as too much experiment will not help the team.

I am also really surprised what the hell these selecters doing its wired decsion and surely they are looking for down in this series as West Indies is already and confedence level is also high so this can give them some more good advantage as bringing Broad and giving rest to Anderson as they already have very long rest.

What about the West Indies team ? Do they also have some changes in their team. I think West Indies team management and captain should not change the winning combination. England team is looking on a back foot and defensive when we see these changes.

No they have no changes they are going with same team but last 11 will announced just before toss most chances they will go with same 11 as they done good job.

Ben Stokes needs to get more experience as a leader and he needs to pick the best team rather than playing around with the squad, in the first test the fielding positions were not that great and there were many dropped catches and misses in the field and their batsman failed and even though Joe Root is back in the team he is not able to pick the best team which is confusing on who gets to select the team.

West Indies might retain the same team but one of the players had an injury in the last match and may be that will be the only change.

Sam Curran selection in the squad makes sense as he can bat as well down the order but why on earth they are excluding Anderson? Not serious enough to win the series? Guess they think their batting line-up is weak.

Well well it's a surprise for England. Joe Root is back that's something good. But guess what the bowling lineup looks devastated. Are they getting over-confident again? Or Jofra got ruled out after they rested Anderson? Resting Anderson and mark wood even after losing the first game? 1 bitcoin to anyone who guesses how high are English Selectors? Lol

By the way there is rain going on in England currently toss is delayed and chances are match would be delayed too.

West indies can't change the squad. They are the touring team. Talking about top 11 i believe it would remain same

Its mean Englands problems not going to end they are going to face some more in second test as Anderson and Wood already out now Archer right now they have very few options Broad, Robinson, Curran and Woakes lets see what happen with them in this second test.

Edit: We are going to lost first session of second test.

If i have to guess then English bowling line up would be - Broad, Chris Woakes, Ben Stokes and Sam Curran.

Archer has been dropped due to indiscipline -Quarantine Protocol-

Don't know much about Robinson so Woakes looks good bet to me.

The eternal curse of international cricket, rain interruption has stuck again. With climate change getting worse with every passing year, we can expect rain to play spoilsport a lot more frequently. And despite this, we have people talking about 4-day tests. Anyway, I am glad that Archer was kicked out of the squad. Always believed that he was one of the most over-rated players.

Good News after lost of 90 minutes we are back and West Indies won toss elected to field England is going with Curran, Woakes and Broad West Indies without any change after 4 overs England 8/0.

[JSRAW]

Oh boy, openers were playing carefully and survived the seamers's spell but poor England lost the first wicket just before the lunch and guess what, who provided the breakthrough? Spinner Roston Chase lol.

England : 29/1  - Lunch Break-

Why does English bowling line up still looks so sturdy with two major bowlers out. I think it's ability of Ben stokes to act as a full time bowling plus batting all rounder that makes the line up so good.
I heard Archer traveled his way back home between the tests which is violation of the quarantine protocol. now he will undergo a 5 day isolation and will have to under go covid-19 test twice. Well isn't it a joke? Considering that symptoms can come after 5 days. So when he plays the third match people playing alongside would still be at a risk. Isn't it?

World class all-rounder always comes handy. Plus their tail is looking strong now, as far as batting is concern. Broad, Sam Curran and Woakes can add crucial runs too.

Yes, but they had some kind of disciplinary rule or something so if you break any rules then you are out, happened with many players in intl cricket.

England all out under 200 runs?? lol

[teosanru]

I will give this session to England for sure. They managed to sustain themselves against good bowling from west indies. I too after the wicket of joe root thought that England is duped. Sibley and Stokes have played well so far let's see where can they take England from here. But thinking of the pace of the game from day 1. If England manages to bat till second session tomorrow then match would be going toward draw.

I think it's just showing off that we are strict with our rules and nothing else. 5 days of isolation makes no sense otherwise if virus can show symptoms till 14 days.

Currently Sibley and Stokes doing good job if they stay for some more time then surely they are going to touch 300+ which could be very good for them as after first 3 wickets West Indies is sloppy and doing some mistakes which cost them this match.

@JSRAW I got confused because of you as I believed that England were already all out for 200, and I kept checking the score everywhere, and it kept showing me a different score and only after few minutes did I realise, that it was just your prediction and not the actual score. Also currently both Stokes and Sibley are playing well and if they both continue playing like this, then it’s quiet possible that England may score 350 - 450 runs by the end of their first innings.

^^ lol sorry, I didn't mean to. English batsmen were looking shaky at that moment. Scorecard looking much better now, thanks to sloppy fielding. It seems Windies fielders dropping catches for fun
