England won’t be too disappointed after they had West Indies reeling at 114/3 at Lunch, but they would hope that the missed review that gave Jermaine Blackwood a life wouldn’t prove costly. They haven’t allowed the hosts to score briskly and kept a tight leash throughout with Jack Leach creating problems with his sharp turners. Kraigg Brathwaite has looked solid as ever and there is enough evidence of reverse swing. In fact, Ben Stokes sent down a terrific spell and had Nkrumah Bonner out lbw in his second over of the day.
It should have got even better for England and Ben Stokes…
They miss the chance to take Jermaine Blackwood for a duck after deciding not to review this delivery 😕#WIvENG pic.twitter.com/KFlsrLhDLw
