Kemar Roach, West Indies’ veteran attack leader, believes that the “quite surprising” omissions of James Anderson and Stuart Broad from England’s Test plans give his side a slight advantage going into Tuesday’s first Test, but says that the wickets of Joe Root and Ben Stokes are his team’s truest route to victory in the coming weeks.

England seam bowler, Ollie Robinson, has been ruled out of the first Test against West Indies with a back injury.
Robinson, 28, left the field because of a back spasm on the third morning of England’s warm-up against a Cricket West Indies President’s XI in Antigua.
He did not return to bowl on the fourth and final day on Friday and will now miss the first Test in Antigua, which starts on Tuesday.
Saqib Mahmood has taken Robinson’s spot in a 12-man England squad.

England 57 for 4 at lunch. It's not much of a new era, really. In fact, it's fractionally worse: at lunch on the first day at Brisbane, they were 59 for 4.

That final over before lunch was probably as good an over as I've seen from Joseph in a long time
