18:34 local, 17:34 GMT, 23:04 IST - STUMPS on day 1: West Indies head back with a spring in their step. They would have loved to be 3 down (or even lesser) after opting to bat on a flat deck, but things have moved at a rapid pace. England sent Wood as a nightwatchman after they lost Crawley last ball of the 4th over, but they surely weren't expecting Root to walk out to bat. Has been that kinda day for both sides. Vital contributions from Brathwaite, Holder and Da Silva helped the Windies post a decent first innings score. Atkinson, as ever, was impressive and added another four-fer to his kitty as Woakes and Wood shared five between them. England still 244 behind and it's advantage West Indies at the moment. The first sesssion tomorrow is gonna be really crucial for both sides. Who will blink first? Join us back for all the action on day 2 to witness it all. Cheers!!
