12.40pm: Looks like a relatively late change to the West Indies XI, with Evin Lewis' number scribbled out on the teamsheet and Jewel Andrew, the teenager from Antigua, a late addition. Justin Greaves will shuffle up to open, if the order submitted is to be believed. No Shamar Joseph, with Jayden Seales preferred.

1.3
Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, FOUR, dropped!! A hard length delivery that shoots up and wobbles away outside off, Smith stays tall and punches at it. Gets an edge that flies to the right of second slip. Greaves the fielder who gets a hand to it, but can't grab it and the ball parries towards the third-man boundary

1.4
Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, no run, a vehement appeal from Seales, and he's burnt a review! This was fuller and angling into the batter, thuds onto the pads. Looked like it was sliding down and the replays show all three stumps in vision as the ball strikes the pads
Review taken for an LBW. A bit tentative from Shai Hope. Was this sliding down leg as well? Yup, going down the leg side. Review lost

1.5
Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, FOUR, to deep extra cover

It would've been a brilliant catch if Greaves had held on to that....

I would've thought Alzarri would be a better wicket-taking option with the new ball than Forde: higher pace and outswing.
