Credit to England for pushing the Windies so hard! No way did we deserve to lose that series, overall we were the better team!

Credit to England for pushing the Windies so hard! No way did we deserve to lose that series, overall we were the better team! Absolutely. We lost the series because of one stupid session in the 1st test. Had it not been for that, the other matches would probably have had pitches more likely to produce a result and England would almost certainly have won the series... The one-dayers still to come, then the Windies come over here for a couple of tests before the Ashes...

England have taken a 1-0 lead in the one-day series after winning the first match by 1 run. The Windies came off for bad light with 22 balls remaning, thinking they were ahead on Duckworth-Lewis, when in fact they'd just gone behind!
It's England's first win in any form of cricket since the ODI series against South Africa last summer.
ENG 270-7 (50 overs)
WI 244-7 (46.2 overs)

England's summer got underway yesterday with the start of a 2-test series against Zimbabwe Sri Lanka the West Indies.
England named 2 debutants in Tim Bresnan and Graham Onions in the starting line-up, with Ravi Bopara batting at 3.
Day 1 wasn't great for England. They were 289-7 at the close, though Bopara did manage his first test century in England. Fidel Edwards took 2 wickets in 2 balls, including Pietersen first ball.
On Day 2, it's been England's morning so far. Bopara is the only wicket to fall (143) and Graeme Swann has reached his maiden test 50. As I type, Jimmy Anderson has just gone for 1.
England are 377-9.

2 in 2 balls for Edwards again! He'll start England's 2nd innings on a hat-trick...
England all out for 377.

Bowled them all out for 152 and have them 31-2, nice one, I wondered if our bowlers might get more movement!

5-38 for Onions on his debut!
Swann also had 2 in 2 balls! When was the last time that happened 3 times in the same test? (In fact, you could say it was 4 times, as Onions's first wicket came with the first ball after Swann's last wicket.)

After a delayed start due to rain, the Windies are 80-5 at lunch after England took 3 quick wickets at the end of the morning session, including 2 more for Graham Onions.
The Windies still trail England by 145 runs.

The 2nd test gets underway tomorrow at the Riverside.
Ian Bell and Ryan Sidebottom have been recalled to the squad but England are expected to stick with the same XI that won at Lord's.

England dominate day 1 after winning the toss.
Centuries for Bopara (for the 3rd test in a row) and Cook, who was still there at the close helped England to 302-2.

Decent day for England today, taking 10 wickets and enforcing the follow-on. 7 to go (and possibly some runs to add) in the final day tomorrow...

Another 10-wicket victory perhaps?

After a couple of rain delays, Anderson and Bresnan have ripped through the Windies batting, reducing them to 167-8 at lunch, still 92 runs behind England. They had been 141-3 at one stage.

On a sidenote, Paul Collingwood is continuing as wicketkeeper today after Matt Prior's finger injury yesterday. Sub fielder Scott Borthwick has taken two catches this morning.
