18:30 IST:

29.3: Jayden Seales to Joe Root, OUT! TAKEN! Jayden Seales breaks through for West Indies! Joe Root somehow survived the last ball but he did not this time. He will be gutted though as this was nowhere close to being a wicket-taking delivery. Seales bangs this one on a hard length, outside off, width on offer, Joe Root goes for the pull as he looks to drag it away in front of square on the leg side. He was better off playing this one through the off side. Gets a bit of extra bounce does Seales which results in Root getting a top edge that goes straight up towards mid on.

Shamar Joseph gets his right hand low in his follow through and takes the sting out of the ball as it dribbles back towards the stumps at the bowling end.

18:27 IST:

Halt in play. Kraigg Brathwaite is upset with the ball and asks the umpire for a change of ball. The umpire pulls out the measuring gauge and the ball doesn't get through. Which means, a new ball will be brought into the play. Right then, we are now good to resume!

26.4: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, Good effort! At 136 kph, fuller in length, attacking the stumps, Ollie Pope stays balanced and clips it firmly towards mid-wicket where Kirk Mckenzie is in close. Mckenzie dives to his left and gets his hand to it to save at least a couple of runs for his side. The batters cross as the ball gets parried off Mckenzie's hands towards mid on.

18:14 IST:

18:10 IST:

... DAY 1, SESSION 2 ...

18:04 IST:

Had Alick Athanaze held onto Pope's catch at the stroke of Lunch, it would've been a perfect comeback from West Indies after a stellar England show. Nevertheless, the West Indies bowlers will need to regroup and devise new strategies to exert pressure on this potent English batting lineup, especially with the wicket looking to be a belter to bat on. The first session saw an intriguing unfold of events, and the enticing second session will resume in about 40 minutes, at precisely 6.10 pm IST (12.40 pm GMT). Be sure to join us back for all the action!

18:03 IST:

West Indies, having won the toss and opted to bowl, came out with fiery intent. Alzarri Joseph knocked out Zak Crawley in the very first over. However, the momentum swiftly shifted as Jayden Seales conceded 19 runs in the second over, igniting an onslaught that left the bowlers scrambling for answers. The Drinks break provided a brief respite, allowing Shamar Joseph and spinner Kevin Sinclair to step in and stem the flow of runs. This tighter bowling eventually resulted in a crucial wicket, with Shamar Joseph dismissing the dangerous Ben Duckett, slightly restoring balance to the game.

18:08 IST:

SESSION SUMMARY - 134 Runs, 26 Overs, 2 Wickets. It has been an entertaining first session as England head into Lunch as the happier side. Despite an early setback with Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett stepped up and altered the course with a flurry of boundaries. It put the West Indies bowlers under pressure that both Duckett and Ollie Pope eagerly capitalized on, with Duckett taking the lead as the aggressor. The much-debated 'Bazball' approach, previously questioned by many, came roaring back to life, with the scorecard at the first half of the session reflecting England's aggressive and positive intent. However, the run rate slowed towards the second half of the session with the wicket of Duckett. Joe Root then joined Pope and saw through the session without any further casualties. At 134/2, England will be pleased with their position and look to build a substantial first innings total, which seems right on the cards.

17:33 IST:

25.6: Jayden Seales to Joe Root, A bit fuller, on off and the ball stays a bit low, Joe Root stays low with the bounce and keeps it out with a straight bat. That will be LUNCH on DAY 1!

25.5: Jayden Seales to Ollie Pope, DROPPED! Alick Athanaze puts it down! Jayden Seales keeps it just outside off, on a back of a length, Ollie Pope hangs back in his crease and tries to cut it hard. The ball angles in to cramp Pope for room and there is a bit of extra bounce as well. Pope fails to control his shot and it goes straight to gully where Alick Athanaze is in really tight. The ball comes at waist height to Athanaze who gets his hands to it but fails to cling on. Lunch would have tasted sweeter for West Indies had that been taken. A single is definitely taken though. Remember the score - POPE DROPPED ON 46.

17:30 IST:

25.4: Jayden Seales to Ollie Pope, At 135 kph, on a hard length, on off, Ollie Pope gets right behind the line of the ball and blocks it out.

Drinks break! Well, if you're a fan of 'Bazball' and missed your dose in the first Test, you'll be pretty happy with what has transpired so far. The runs have come thick and fast for England after the loss of Zak Crawley, with Ben Duckett being the aggressor of the two batters. Jayden Seales has been all over the place with his lines and lengths as has Alzarri Joseph since the first over, resulting in boundaries being leaked from both ends. Jason Holder has comparatively been better but on what is a belter of a wicket, he will need bowlers at the other end to back him up. West Indies will be hoping that this break in play will disrupt the momentum of the two batters and result in a wicket for them.
