Denly getting the nod ahead of Jennings for the next test apparently.

[Buzzo]

Playing with ten could have got the nod ahead of Jennings.

He's a pretty decent close catcher to be fair but I guess you don't get in for your fielding at any age group past under 11's.

We’d be better off with this Mr Burns.....

16-2.... utter ****e play from Denly

To be fair to Root, that was absolutely unplayable.

Brathwaite c Jennings b Moeen 49 (WI 133-2)

Moeen Ali strikes!

There's turn there for Moeen and the ball seems to have got higher on Kraigg Brathwaite than he was expecting. He tries to turn it away off his thigh pad, searching for his half-century, and instead he pops it straight toward Keaton Jennings at short leg.

On the bright side it won't be an innings defeat

I think that's some of the most woeful test batting I've seen. Actually enjoyed how the West indies approached things. It's not often in the modern game we see an innings like that unless a team is trying to save a game. Its like batting and occupying the crease has become a dying art with all of this T20 bs.

So true, unfortunately.

West Indies fast bowler Shannon Gabriel has been banned for the first four one-day internationals against England.

That'll teach him for calling Root a Bhatti boy!
