But John Campbell, forced to retire hurt on one after being struck on the toe by Archer, returned to hit the winning runs. Though they hold the Wisden Trophy, the West Indies have not won a Test series in England for 32 years. But this victory put them 1-0 up with two to play in a behind-closed-doors series ahead of next week’s second Test at Old Trafford.
And he had moved on to 20 when wicketkeeper Jos Buttler floored a one-handed chance down the legside off Stokes. Leg-byes were signalled but Blackwood would have been out on review had Buttler held on.
