- Bairstow happy with his 52 on testing day for batsmen
35th over: West Indies 80-1 (Brathwaite 25, Hope 0) Broad collects the ball at midwicket, dummies to throw towards the bowler’s end, waits for Hope to ground his bat there and then inexplicably does throw towards the stumps, misses them by a distance and giftwraps four runs! Anderson is, to say the least, unchuffed.
34th over: West Indies 74-1 (Brathwaite 19, Hope 0) England’s wicket drought apparently lasted 101 overs. They bring in a short leg for the new batsman, Shai Hope, who was caught there in Barbados, but he isn’t brought into play. Stokes however keeps up his hostile start, and Hope swings and misses as he tries to drive, and then is totally undone by one that swings through a very large and open gate, across the wicket, somehow wide of leg stump, wide also of Bairstow’s desperate dive and away for four byes.
