Just catching up. So WIndies add a spinner to bowl first under clouds on a potential 3 day only Test going by forecast. England drop a batsman and all rounder to add two extra specialist quicks. Honestly not what I was expecting.

Hoping Cornwall takes some wickets and Pope makes a big score. I see we have started well.

Windies have tried to pad their batting by picking Cornwall, playing for a draw clearly. England have gone completely the other way, picking 6 bowlers. If its a shortened test thats just surplus to requirements.

Stokes may not bowl

If Stokes could not bowl, won't Curran have been a better choice over Woakes?
I thought so too. More rough for the spinner, and bowls at a different angle. He’s a different option. Woakes is similar to our other swing bowlers. I guess they chose Woakes because he performed better with the ball than Curran last test.
