    • Stay with us for the presentation...

    • England bowlers were superb with the ball in this innings even though there was hardly any assistance for them. Broad got one in the first over and then they kept coming and coming and got wickets at regular intervals. Brooks and Blackwood resisted with respective half tons but once they were dismissed, things became tough for the visitors and England eventually bundled them out well before the allotted overs for Day 5. Apart from skipper Joe Root who bowled 10 deliveries, all the bowlers got wickets at crucial moments to help the hosts level the series.

    • West Indies batters did superbly in the first innings and were playing calmly with Brathwaite, Brooks and Chase getting to their half-centuries. However, once England took the second new ball, West Indies lost their way and somehow managed to avoid the follow-on with Chase helping them do that. Broad and Woakes finished with 3 apiece while Curran got 2 and Stokes and Bess took 1 wicket.

    • Earlier in the game, after winning the toss, Holder opted to bowl first. They started well with a couple of wickets early on but Sibley and Stokes combined for a marathon stand and took England towards a huge total. Both brought up their respective tons. They eventually declared on 469/9. Discussions were going around regarding the approach of Sibley and Stokes during that partnership knowing the fact that there were chances of rain on Day 3. For the Windies bowlers, it was a long toil that lasted for nearly 2 days with Chase taking a fifer. As per the forecast, the entire day's play on Day 3 was washed out.

    • What a terrific comeback from England to level the series! After the Day 3 washout and then the way West Indies batters batted in the first innings, it looked like there was just one result, i.e. a draw but Broad with a brilliant spell turned things around first and then earlier on in the morning session, Ben Stokes with his fluent knock gave the side a terrific opportunity to seal the game.

    • 10 wickets down for WI. Out batsman is Kemar Roach. It is all over for WI. 70.1Dom Bess to Kemar Roach. out, OUT! Caught! Ollie Pope takes a stunner at short leg to seal the game! Floated delivery on middle and leg, Roach flicks it to the left of short leg. Pope gets a hand to it and the ball lobs away from him. He dives and takes a beauty to seal the game. ENGLAND WIN BY 113 RUNS!

    Umpires: Michael Gough (ENG) and Richard Illingworth (ENG)

    TV umpire: Richard Kettleborough (ENG)

    Match referee: Chris Broad (ENG)

    England will hope the return of captain Joe Root proves inspirational in the second Test against the West Indies at Old Trafford starting Thursday.
     
    Star batsman Root missed England's four-wicket defeat at Southampton in international cricket's return from lockdown last week after attending the birth of his second child.
     
    He has now rejoined the squad, with West Indies needing just one win from the two remaining Tests of the campaign at Old Trafford to clinch a first series win in England for 32 years.
     
    Although all three fixtures are being played behind closed doors because of the coronavirus outbreak, Root will be in a familiar situation.
     
    England have now lost the opening match of a series for the eighth time in ten campaigns, a run dating back to the 2017/18 Ashes in Australia.
     
    Most recently in South Africa they did recover from a heavy defeat in the first Test to win that series 3-1.
     
    But now at 1-0 down with just two to play, there is far less margin for error.
