Crikey, I went to bed with them 100/8 and sunk. Must have been quite the partnership!

It helps when Mahmood was bowling in the slot. At one point Morgan shouted to him 'No wides, no wides, no wides!'

Not sure where they were hiding this Rovman Powell chap, but I'd guess we might see a little more of him in the future.
England's seam bowling is... not brilliant. Get well soon Jofra.

Must have been mega-pies to go for that many!
Just watching England make the first over look like a mine field!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/59754595Completely missed this. I read somewhere that Giles had gone but had no idea Silverwood had followed. For the best I’d say. Any kind of change is worth a go considering how abject we were during the Ashes

Aussie coming in.
Which one? I see Langer has left the Aussies but it’d be a bit mad if he swapped them for us.

Collingwood, interim. And Langer mentioned in despatches.

Supposedly Broad and Anderson dropped for the West Indies. Must say, it's very English to drop some bowlers because the batting has been shit.

That seems mad to me. Yes, Anderson is nearly 40, but it’s not as though his continual selection is getting in the way of some prodigious talent making the team instead. And he was still statistically our best bowler during this ashes I believe. Not so sure about Broad, but certainly can’t understand dropping Anderson.

The Windies tests start today, with an attack of Woakes, Coverton, Wood (a bit injured), Stokes (a lot injured) and Leach.
I like everyone involved in that, most of them quite a lot, but blimey does that look a lot more callow than Anderson/Broad/Robinson did last summer.
Still, the Windies are every bit as much a flawed team as we are so should be well balanced at least. Windies 2-1 for me.
Most importantly though, England have finally picked Stokes, Foakes and Woakes together. Beautiful.

Won the toss and batting first. We always seem to start a test series undercooked. Id love us not to crumble but ive seen to much of it to think we'll do anything but.
I guess well know by this evening.

Did have a warm up game this time, which is progress. Unfortunately it managed to injure Robinson and Wood...

Methinks that'll be the high point of this test. Did I say test? I meant series. Very difficult not to be a glass half empty with England right now.
