West Indies vs England: Twitter Flooded With Memes After England's Batting Collapse On Day 1 Of 3rd Test
England suffered a shocking batting collapse on Day 1 of the third and final Test against the West Indies at the National Cricket Stadium, St George's in Grenada. Having been put into bat by the West Indies, England found themselves tottering at 114 for nine in the first innings. However, a 90-run last wicket partnership between Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood saved England blushes and brought about some respectability to their total. Mahmood fell for a valiant 49 in the last over of the day as England were bowled out for 204 with Leach unbeaten on 41.
Apart from opener Alex Lees, no other top-order batter got into double digits. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow were dismissed for a duck while star all-rounder Ben Stokes was packed off for 2. At one stage, England were 67 for seven, but Chris Woakes (25) and Craig Overton (14) showed some fight.
England's woeful batting performance led to a meme fest on Twitter. We tried to pick the funniest ones:
