1st Test, West Indies tour of England at Southampton, Jul 8-12 2020

Gabriel to Sibley, Timbeeeeeeeeeeeeer ! Off stump is pegged back... Oh how we've missed that sweet, sweet sound!
Dom Sibley perhaps wasn't so keen to get acquainted with it, but a poorly judged leave sends him back for a duck.
No one to clap him off, either.
The previous one had nibbled the other way, this one he let go only to hear the fateful gurgle
as Gabriel brought it in with the angle.
Lovely bowling

3 - 1 after 4.1 overs

Should we (West Indies fans) be concerned that we haven't triggered the almost obligatory top order English collapse yet?!

Interesting to hear the West Indies players and coaching staff took a 50% pay cut thanks to the financial pressures of the Covid 19 crisis. And still travelled to a country that is deep in the throes. The cricket world owes West Indies. Hope that's not forgotten
