England vs West Indies | 1st Test | Ageas Bowl, Southampton | Jul 8-12 | Match Thread

[Stan AF]

Now out.

[Gollum]

India is the only team in the world that makes small chases look like climbing Everest. Peak mental midgetry.

[Norman]

This guy is not human. 

[Clarke]

No ball 

[Norman]

Hands down the best cricketer on the planet. 

[Clarke]

Damn this Stokes is superhero

[Stan AF]

Stokes reverse swinging the ball like crazy.

[Norman]

Look at the difference in height between Holder and Blackwood. 

[Gollum]

All this after winning the toss and enjoying friendly umpiring. This also shows how dominant India is at home, a team like WI won't even have the confidence to take the fight to us in our backyard. Against a full strength Indian side at home every other team loses the mental battle before stepping on the field. We do give our boys a tough time but we must never undermine what they have done in SC+WI these last 6-7 years. 

[Stan AF]

Need a couple of 4s to ease the pressure. Coomeon windies.

[Stan AF]

2nd stupid run attempted.

[ssurenn]

  watta epic battle feels like India is playing 

[Norman]

Bishop agrees 

[ssurenn]

req 22

[Norman]

This black lives matter thing is getting really annoying now. 

[LordPrabhzy]

[Clarke]
