Match over
0.4 : 0.4: James Anderson to Mikyle Louis, FOUR! Not in control but Mikyle Louis has the first boundary of his Test career. In and around the off stump, on a good length. Louis did well there not to push at the hard delivery with hard hands, resulting in the edge dribbling between gully and slip cordon for a boundary.
0.5 : 0.5: James Anderson to Mikyle Louis, FOUR! In complete control this time! A classy shot by the debutant.
5.6 : 5.6: Chris Woakes to Mikyle Louis, FOUR! Short and punished! Woakes goes wide of the crease on that over-the-wicket angle but errs in line and length. Bowls it short and wide on off, Mikyle Louis reaches out and cuts it past backward point for a boundary.
9.5 : 9.5: Chris Woakes to Mikyle Louis, SIX! Oh, hello! Where did that come from? Woakes errs in line and bowls it full, on the pads, Mikyle Louis does not miss out as he flicks it nonchalantly off his pads and clears the deep backward square leg fence for a six.
10.2 : 10.2: Gus Atkinson to Kraigg Brathwaite, OUT! DRAGGED ON! What a start to the Test career for Gus Atkinson!
14.2: Gus Atkinson to Kirk Mckenzie, OUT! CAUGHT! Gus Atkinson gets his second and West Indies are now in some sort of bother after a strong start. 
19.1 : 19.1: Ben Stokes to Mikyle Louis, FOUR! Streaky but Mikyle Louis will take it!
21.2 : 21.2: Ben Stokes to Mikyle Louis, OUT! TAKEN! Harry Brook takes a screamer and West Indies lose Mikyle Louis! Ben Stokes steams from over the wicket and bangs the hard length attacking the stumps, the ball straightens off the deck as Mikyle Louis looks to block and the ball catches the outside edge flying to the right of the second slip. Harry Brook times his dive perfectly and takes a very low one-handed catch. 
23.5 : 23.5: Ben Stokes to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! That's some shot! Ben Stokes serves it a touch too full and offers width outside off, Kavem Hodge gets low and crunches it over backward point for a boundary. 
26.4 : 26.4: James Anderson to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Cut away nicely by Hodge! James Anderson bowls it short of a length and outside off, with no real pace behind it. Kavem Hodge hangs back and cuts it through backward point region for a nice looking boundary.
28.1 : 28.1: Gus Atkinson to Kavem Hodge, Four!
29.4 : 29.4: Chris Woakes to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! Timed to perfection! 
29.5 : 29.5: Chris Woakes to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! A little bit more power this time from Alick Athanaze, but the timing tops it! Fuller and outside off again from Woakes, Alick Athanaze leans on it and drives it through covers for back-to-back boundaries. 
30.4 : 30.4: Gus Atkinson to Kavem Hodge, Six!
32.3 : 32.3: Gus Atkinson to Alick Athanaze, Four!
34.2 : 34.2: Gus Atkinson to Alick Athanaze, OUT! CAUGHT! Gus Atkinson has three and this has been an exceptional start to his Test career! 
34.3 : 34.3: Gus Atkinson to Jason Holder, OUT! TAKEN! A golden duck for Jason Holder on his return to the side! Things just got from bad to worse for the West Indies! 
34.5 : 34.5: Gus Atkinson to Joshua Da Silva, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Gus Atkinson making bowling look incredibly easy! A five-fer on debut!

38.3 : 38.3: Gus Atkinson to Shamar Joseph, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Gus Atkinson is in the mood to shackle a few records on debut! 
39.4 : 39.4: James Anderson to Gudakesh Motie, Four!
40.1 : 40.1: Gus Atkinson to Gudakesh Motie, FOUR! Adding gold to the scoreboard here is Gudakesh Motie! Served wider on off and on a fuller length, Gudakesh Motie lenas on it and drives it neatly through point for a boundary. 
40.6 : 40.6: Gus Atkinson to Gudakesh Motie, Four!
41.4 : 41.4: James Anderson to Jayden Seales, OUT! LBW! A huge appeal and up goes the dreaded finger! James Anderson finally gets a wicket to wrap the West Indies for just 121 runs on the board. 
3.2 : 3.2: Jayden Seales to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Edged away! Angling in from over the wicket, on off, on a good length, Zak Crawley looks to push it down the ground but plays it with soft hands. Gets an outside edge that races past gully for a boundary.
3.3 : 3.3: Jayden Seales to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Nothing streaky about this one!
4.5 : 4.5: Alzarri Joseph to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Shouts of 'catch it' but it is well wide!
6.4 : 6.4: Alzarri Joseph to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Lovely shot! Joseph slips in a delivery that slants back in, on a good length, on middle and leg, Zak Crawley reads it well and stays balanced in the crease to clip it to the right of mid on for a boundary.
7.2 : 7.2: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jayden Seales with the first strike for the West Indies! Gets his reward for keeping it full and making the batter drive.
8.1 : 8.1: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! A gift for Ollie Pope to start proceedings after Tea! Alzarri Joseph bowls it short and wide on off, Ollie Pope lets the ball come to him and cuts it late to the left of backward point for a boundary.
8.2 : 8.2: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Two in two for Ollie Pope. A confident start by England's number 3. Joseph compensates by bowling it full, on off, Ollie Pope leans on the drive and plays it to the right of mid off for four more runs.
8.4 : 8.4: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Third boundary of the over for Pope. Joseph hurls it on a good length, on off, Ollie Pope gets his weight on the front foot and caresses it past cover for yet another boundary.
9.6 : 9.6: Jayden Seales to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Top shot by Pope! 4th boundary for Pope in 12 balls. Seales tries to bang it into the wicket, on off, not short enough to trouble the batter, Ollie Pope gets on his toes, rolls his wrists nicely and plays a controlled pull shot behind square on the leg side for a boundary.
12.2 : 12.2: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Nicely done! Joseph pounds the surface again but this sits up nicely for Ollie Pope who rolls his wrists on the ball and pulls it behind square on the leg side for a boundary.
13.4 : 13.4: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, Four!
13.6 : 13.6: Shamar Joseph to Zak Crawley, Four!
14.3 : 14.3: Jason Holder to Ollie Pope, Four!

17.2: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Delicately placed! A tad too full in length, outside off, Ollie Pope  plants his front leg out and waits for the ball to come to him before placing it beautifully through the gap behind backward point for a boundary.

23.5 : 23.5: Shamar Joseph to Zak Crawley, Four!
25.4 : 25.4: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! What a nice shot to bring up his FIFTY! Alzarri Joseph overpitches this outside off, Ollie Pope leans on it and drives it through point region for a boundary.
25.6 : 25.6: Alzarri Joseph to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Another boundary and it is Zak Crawley that gets to his FIFTY this time! Alzarri Joseph digs it short but not short enough to trouble the batter. The ball sits up nicely as Zak Crawley picks up the length and pulls it along the ground to deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary.
26.2 : 26.2: Jason Holder to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Easy pickings this for Ollie Pope! Jason Holder slants this one into the right-hander on a fuller length and into the pads, Ollie Pope flicks it beautifully through square leg for a boundary.
26.3 : 26.3: Jason Holder to Ollie Pope, OUT! LBW! Jason Holder gets the much needed breakthrough for West Indies! Comes from over the wicket and bowls a full length delivery into the stumps, ranging into middle and leg. Ollie Pope looks to flick this one away too but fails to make the connection. The ball wears him low on the front pad and the umpire raises his finger. Ollie Pope sends it upstairs for a review and the UltraEdge shows no spike. The Ball Tracking confirms all three reds and the onfie
27.3: Alzarri Joseph to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Width offered and Crawley makes it count! On a short of a length, wide on off, Zak Crawley stands tall and reaches out to slap it through covers for a boundary.
28.3: Jayden Seales to Joe Root, FOUR! A freebie for Joe Root and he doesn't miss out! Seales bowls this wider on off and on a length, Joe Root waits on the backfoot and punches it past backward point for a boundary. 
29.2 : 29.2: Alzarri Joseph to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Lovely shot! Alzarri Joseph attacks the stumps on a slightly fuller length, Zak Crawley waits for the ball and whips it through mid-wicket for a boundary.
29.4 : 29.4: Alzarri Joseph to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Not very convincing but gets the desired result! On a length and just outside off, Zak Crawley looks to drive it on the up but gets a thickish outside edge that flies straight through the gap between gully and the slip cordon for the second boundary of the over. 
29.5 : 29.5: Alzarri Joseph to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Switching gears quickly is Zak Crawley! Too full and outside off again from Alzarri Joseph, Zak Crawley frees his arms and slashes it over backward point for another boundary.
30.4 : 30.4: Jayden Seales to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Shot of authority! Seales digs it on a back of a length, Zak Crawley is waiting on the back foot and pulls it in front of square on the leg side for a boundary.
30.5 : 30.5: Jayden Seales to Zak Crawley, OUT! b Jayden Seales.
33.6 : 33.6: Shamar Joseph to Harry Brook, FOUR! Good shot! Joseph keeps it full and this is just outside off, Harry Brook gets on the front foot and lets his hands flow into the shot. Drives it through covers and picks up a boundary.
34.4 : 34.4: Jason Holder to Harry Brook, FOUR! Skillfully done!
35.6 : 35.6: Shamar Joseph to Harry Brook, FOUR! Runs coming thick and fast now! Shamar Joseph overpitches this into the pads, Harry Brook flicks it beautifully through the gap at mid-wicket for a boundary. 
43.1 : 43.1: Jayden Seales to Harry Brook, FOUR! A gorgeous cover drive this time by Brook. Jayden Seales serves a half-volley, outside off. Brook stays still and creams it through the gap at covers for a fine boundary. First boundary on Day 2 for England.
44.5 : 44.5: Alzarri Joseph to Harry Brook, Four!
45.1 : 45.1: Jayden Seales to Joe Root, Four!
45.3 : 45.3: Jayden Seales to Joe Root, FOUR! LOVELY! A classic cover drive by one of England's finest. Overpitched wide outside off, Joe Root leans and drives it beautifully through the covers. Getting to that stage when you get the feeling that the bowling side needs to be more disciplined. Get a 7-2 off side field and stop bowling overpitched deliveries.
46.4 : 46.4: Alzarri Joseph to Joe Root, FOUR! There is the short ball but this is very nicely controlled by Root. Around off, Joe swivels, plays the pull, rolls his wrists over the ball and keeps it nicely, getting it in front of square on the leg side.
46.5 : 46.5: Alzarri Joseph to Joe Root, FOUR MORE! Alzarri goes for the indipper but sprays it on the pads. Joe Root just falls over a touch but is in control as he flicks this through mid-wicket.
47.6 : 47.6: Shamar Joseph to Harry Brook, SIX! WHAM! Into the crowd it goes and sails away. First six of the day.
50.4 : 50.4: Alzarri Joseph to Harry Brook, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! The short-ball ploy does work for West Indies. The on-air commentators have been talking about it for a while now, and finally the message has been passed out to the bowlers as well. West Indies strike for the first time on Day 2 to break this solid partnership. Harry Brook gets an ovation on his way back for his well-made fifty.
54.6 : 54.6: Gudakesh Motie to Ben Stokes, OUT! TIMBER! The off stump goes for a walk here. Gudakesh Motie with a peach of a delivery here to get rid of the English skipper, that too, cheaply. 
55.4 : 55.4: Jason Holder to Joe Root, FOUR! Not a bad ploy from Holder and he nearly had his man. He targets the yorker but just about misses the length, getting it as a full ball. Because he is such a tall man, many batters struggle to pick the ball out of his hand. Joe Root too, picked that very late, as he got across to flick and just about manages to get his bat down in time to flick it to the fine leg fence. Holder appeals for LBW but there was only bat involved.
58.1 : 58.1: Gudakesh Motie to Jamie Smith, FOUR! That's a bit of a gift for Jamie Smith to score his first runs in Test cricket. In fairness to Gudakesh Motie, he saw Smith charging at him and dragged the length back. But he ended up dragging it a bit too far and Jamie pulled it wide of Jason Holder at mid on. The stand moves to 12 from 19 balls.
60.4 : 60.4: Gudakesh Motie to Joe Root, FOUR! Easy pickings for Root. Gudakesh Motie errs in his line here as he goes full, but down the leg side. Joe Root bends his knee and sweeps it down to fine leg for a fine boundary.
65.3 : 65.3: Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, FOUR! That was a Zak Crawley type shot.
65.4 : 65.4: Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, FOUR! MAGNIFICENT! One brings two for Smith.
66.3 : 66.3: Gudakesh Motie to Joe Root, OUT! BOWLED! He has done it again. He got Stokes after Drinks and now he has got Root moments before Lunch.
66.4 : 66.4: Gudakesh Motie to Chris Woakes, FOUR! MAJESTIC! Not a bad way to start.
69.1 : 69.1: Alzarri Joseph to Chris Woakes, FOUR! A gentle loosener, short and down the leg side, Chris Woakes just tickles it down to fine leg. The stand moves to 11 from 16 balls with Woakes into double digits.
70.1: Gudakesh Motie to Jamie Smith, Four!
73.3 : 73.3: Alzarri Joseph to Chris Woakes, EDGED, FOUR! Lucky for Woakes. Alzarri bends his back and generates some away movement off a good length, around middle. Woakes is squared up and gets a thick outside edge. It flies behind, but well wide of the lone man at slip - Jason Holder - to the deep third fence. The field is set for a short ball, with a leg gully in place, but they can afford an extra slip for the double bluff of full.
78.2 : 78.2: Gudakesh Motie to Jamie Smith, Four!
80.3 : 80.3: Jason Holder to Jamie Smith, Four!
81.1 : 81.1: Jayden Seales to Chris Woakes, FOUR! Incredible shot. The 50 partnership comes up between these two batters. Fuller one, wide outside off, shaping away. Woakes leans in and creams it through cover-point for a fine boundary.
81.6 : 81.6: Jayden Seales to Chris Woakes, OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP!
82.5 : 82.5: Jason Holder to Gus Atkinson, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Gus Atkinson the man who picked 7 wickets in the first innings, gets a bitter taste of his own medicine. He has to walk back on a golden duck here. Jason Holder is elated with this wicket. They need two more wickets to have a go with the bat again. Jason Holder serves a length ball, outside off. The ball nips away a bit off the deck. Gus Atkinson thinks he can take it on, but only manages to find a thick outside edge as he leaves his ba
83.3 : 83.3: Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, FOUR! Smith now will be inclined to take the attacking appraoch here. Seales serves a full one, angled into the stumps. Jamie Smith stands still and lofts it powerfully over mid on for four runs.
86.5 : 86.5: Shamar Joseph to Jamie Smith, SIX! BANG! What a hit from the debutant. Shamar Joseph serves a length ball, around off that moves in a bit. Jamie Smith dances down the track, stays leg side of the delivery and smokes it over the square leg fence for a biggie.
89.1 : 89.1: Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, SIX! KABOOM! This one sits up nicely for Smith and he makes the most of it. Back of a length, around off. Jamie Smith swivels a bit and smokes it towards deep mid-wicket. In fact, he gets it out of the park here. 
89.2 : 89.2: Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, OUT! RUN OUT! Bullzeye from Mikyle Louis. He has been ever present in the field and with his outstanding effort now, we see Shoaib Bashir making his way back to the pavilion.
89.4 : 89.4: Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, Four!
89.6 : 89.6: Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! Jamie Smith holes out this time around. It is a short ball, around off. Jamie Smith stands tall and pulls it to deep square leg here. Kirk Mckenzie rushes to his right in the deep, and takes a sharp low catch sliding to that side. England are all-out for 371 runs here.
3.3 : 3.3: Chris Woakes to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR! MARVELLOUS! An opportunity to score and Kraigg Brathwaite does not miss out.
7.3: Chris Woakes to Mikyle Louis, FOUR! PRISTINE! This guy can bat. It is not always about blocking and Louis understands that.
8.1 : 8.1: James Anderson to Kraigg Brathwaite, OUT! BOWLED! That's gone through his defense and it is wicket number 702 in first-class cricket for the Lord of Lord's.
10.6 : 10.6: Gus Atkinson to Mikyle Louis, FOUR! Well played. It is a short ball, on the bodyline here. Mikyle Louis brings his blade across right in time, he does not time it well but still finds the fielder.
11.3 : 11.3: Ben Stokes to Kirk Mckenzie, OUT! LBW! The finger goes up as Ben Stokes puts in an appeal for LBW. Kirk Mckenzie though has a quick chat with his partner and takes it upstairs. Ben Stokes dishes a length ball, around middle and leg. The ball straightens a bit and goes on to hit Kirk Mckenzie on his back foot. The UltraEdge confirms that no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking confirms three reds and the on-field decision stands. 
16.1 : 16.1: Gus Atkinson to Alick Athanaze, Four!
16.2 : 16.2: Gus Atkinson to Alick Athanaze, Four!
16.4 : 16.4: Gus Atkinson to Alick Athanaze, Four!
17.2 : 17.2: Ben Stokes to Mikyle Louis, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mikyle Louis gets dragged into playing this shot and he has given away his crucial wicket. A small break in play, and England do manage to cash-in on the opportunity here. Ben Stokes dishes a length ball, outside off. The ball shapes away a touch. Mikyle Louis ends up hanging his bat away from his body, really for the first time in this innings. The ball gets nicked and Jamie Smith makes no mistaken behind the sticks. England have their
17.4 : 17.4: Ben Stokes to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! A loosener here and Hodge gets off the mark with a boundary here. It is a good-length ball, around leg stump. Hodge lifts his front leg and pulls it to deep square leg for a boundary.
18.3 : 18.3: Gus Atkinson to Kavem Hodge, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Kavem Hodge got off the mark with a boundary, unfortunately the only highlight of his innings.
23.2 : 23.2: Ben Stokes to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! A rare loose ball.
28.2: James Anderson to Alick Athanaze, OUT! Edged and taken! Wicket number 703 for Jimmy in first-class cricket.
28.6 : 28.6: James Anderson to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! SUBLIME! This time he finds the gap. Full and outside off, swinging in, da Silva comes forward and drives it straight back past the bowler and this time, the man from extra cover cannot cover the distance to his right. The deficit is now 189.
29.4 : 29.4: Ben Stokes to Jason Holder, FOUR! SWEET! Aesthetically pleasing from Jason Holder. Double bluff from Stokes. He pushed square leg back just before this ball, probably trying to indicate that he is going to bowl short. But instead, he bowls it full. However, Holder is well set now and reads the length perfectly. Comes forward, gets to the pitch of the ball and drives it through the covers. NO BALL SIGNALLED AS WELL. The stand moves to 11 from 6 balls. Holder moves to 12 from 40 balls.
32.1 : 32.1: Gus Atkinson to Jason Holder, Four!
34.5 : 34.5: Gus Atkinson to Jason Holder, OUT! CAUGHT! Gus Atkinson picks up his second wicket of the innings, this one though has been created out of nothing. The ploy of getting Ollie Pope at short leg has brought them a wicket here. Gus Atkinson dishes a short ball, around middle, which gets big on Holder, who is already a very tall lad. Jason Holder gets his blade very high and ends up chipping it in front of short leg. Ollie Pope there dives in front of him to take a stunner. West Indies ar
36.6 : 36.6: Gus Atkinson to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR! Hit with real authority!
37.1 : 37.1: James Anderson to Joshua Da Silva, OUT! c Jamie Smith b James Anderson.
39.5 : 39.5: James Anderson to Gudakesh Motie, FOUR! Lovely shot!
40.1 : 40.1: Gus Atkinson to Alzarri Joseph, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! TEN wickets in the match for Gus Atkinson! The short-ball ploy to Joseph has done the trick for the debutant. 7 wickets in the first inning and 3 so far in the second inning for Atkinson. He becomes the first Englishman to take 10 wickets in his maiden Test at home since 1946.
42.2 : 42.2: Gus Atkinson to Shamar Joseph, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! A good change in length from Gus Atkinson. 11th scalp for him in this Test.
43.5 : 43.5: James Anderson to Gudakesh Motie, FOUR! Shot! Too full and on off from Anderson, Gudakesh Motie with a slight prod ahead, drives it through the covers for a boundary.
44.4 : 44.4: Gus Atkinson to Gudakesh Motie, EDGED AND FOUR! Just evades Brook at the third slip!
44.6 : 44.6: Gus Atkinson to Gudakesh Motie, FOUR! That's powered away by Motie! Full length on the off stump, Motie clears the front leg and hits through extra cover for a boundary.
45.2 : 45.2: James Anderson to Jayden Seales, FOUR! Nice shot down the ground! Anderson overpitches with a beautiful seam position, looking to shape into the batter from that angle, but the ball doesn't move a bit. Jayden Seales plants his front foot ahead and spanks it down the ground for a boundary.
46.2: Gus Atkinson to Gudakesh Motie, FOUR! Hacked! A bumper on the middle, Gudakesh Motie sways from the line, clearing his front leg and bends to his right to pull it away. However, the ball is too close to pull and takes the top over the keeper's head for a boundary.
46.6 : 46.6: Gus Atkinson to Jayden Seales, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Gus Atkinson wraps up in style with a sensational 5-fer. England win by an inning and 114 runs. Gus Atkinson bends his back and bangs a short-pitched delivery on the stumps, Jayden Seales reacts quickly to the length and readies himself for the pull shot. He does connect the shot well and pulls in the air towards the deep mid-wicket area. However, he couldn't power away the ball over the fence and Ben Duckett stationed right at
