England endure a frustrating return to international cricket as the opening day of the first Test against West Indies is limited to 17.4 overs.

England & West Indies kneel to support Black Lives Matter movementThis series should have been played in June, and it is testament to the planning done by the England and Wales Cricket Board, and the willingness of West Indies to travel, that the first international cricket anywhere in the world since March is taking place at all.

There were, though, familiar announcements made over the public address system and Jerusalem was played as the teams took to the field. While Burns left with certainty, Denly was often beaten and twice slashed boundaries through the slips. Their most authoritative moments were a Burns cut and a Denly pull through mid-on.England had a fully fit complement of fast bowlers to choose from, meaning two of Anderson, Archer, Wood, Broad and Chris Woakes would miss out.

The decision to combine Wood and Archer, both of whom bowl in excess of 90mph, is an exciting one, and surely taken with an eye on the 2021-22 Ashes tour to Australia in mind.
