On the first morning, England won the toss and Ben Stokes chose to bowl under overcast conditions. West Indies openers Kraigg Brathwaite and debutant Mikyle Louis started well, with Louis quickly punishing loose deliveries. England's debutant Gus Atkinson made an immediate impact, taking a wicket with his second delivery and, supported by Ben Stokes, dismantled the Windies' top order. After a promising start by Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge, West Indies collapsed dramatically, losing their last 7 wickets for just 33 runs to be bowled out for 121. Atkinson was the wrecker in chief, finishing with exceptional figures of 12-5-45-7, just missing out on becoming the first Englishman to take eight wickets on debut as Anderson ended the innings by dismissing Seales. Despite an early breakthrough by Seales, the West Indies bowlers struggled to capitalize, and with sunny conditions, the English batters found it easier to build partnerships. Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley scored fifties, while Joe Root and Harry Brook furthered England's lead, finishing the day 68 runs ahead.
