Match Analysis
The West Indies put England into bat on a seaming wicket and took full advantage, reducing the tourists to 114-9. However, Saqib Mahmood and Jack Leach gave England a lift by putting on a defiant last wicket partnership of 90.
The West Indies will be disappointed not to have capitalized on their earlier successes with the ball and will have to bat well tomorrow to get back into this match.
