England vs West Indies 2nd Test Day 1 Live Score Updates

England vs West Indies 2nd Test Day 1 Live Updates: West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite won the toss and elected to field in the second Test against England at Trent Bridge on Thursday. With sunny blue skies overhead, conditions appeared ideal for batting on a lightly-grassed pitch. But Brathwaite's decision was understandable given his side had been bowled out for just 121 and 136 during an innings and 114-run defeat by England in the first Test at Lord's last week. Both sides had already named their teams before the toss, with England recalling fast bowler Mark Wood after veteran seamer James Anderson retired from international duty. But the West Indies, who had planned to be unchanged, were forced to make a late alteration when spinner Gudakesh Motie woke up with 'flu on the morning of the game and dropped out. (Live Scorecard)

OUT! c Alzarri Joseph b Jayden Seales.

Oh, my! This has missed everything!

At 140 kph, in the channel on off, full as well, Joe Root thinks about driving this away as he gets a stride in but decides against it in the end and he leaves it alone.

Joseph steams in and hurls it on a length, on off, Ollie Pope shows the full face of the bat and times the drive straight back at the bowler. 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.

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!

Pitches it up does Joseph, around off, Ollie Pope plays it off the front foot towards point.
