Well maybe not 0 for, but my prediction for the amount of runs is about spot on.
Tredwell is an abysmal decision. Kent loaned him out for the championship because they have a far better younger prospect in Riley. Whilst Rashid was the obvious selection for this match, I don't get why they don't try Kerrigan again because he had a good season in 2014.
They didn't perform this morning, but I don't see the issue that others are seeing with a top order of Cook, Trott and Ballance. When in form they are all class batsmen who score fast enough. Problem is that they aren't. For that reason this series is critical for Cook, if he can't make runs here there won't be much chance of it happening in a summer against the Kiwis and the Australian bowling lineups. Lyth, Taylor, Robson and Vince should all recognise the opportunity that they have to break into the top order.
Bell batting beautifully this morning form what I've seen showing his class, Root continues to underline his name as one of the best young batsmen in the game. We already knew these things, but the surprise is how good Stokes has looked coming back into the side.
As I type, Kemar gets the breakthrough with Bell with a pearler!

Bell was terrific as he has been for most of his career, he is so under rated by England IMO.
Root was excellent and thanks to that late flurry from Stokes Put England on top.. The windies got early wickets but I still think bowling first was a big mistake

Was not surprised in the least to see the Windies fluff a good position. Hopeless.
Apparently the Prime Minister of Antigua made it a half day at work

Sadly the players only put in a half day as well.
pretty good knock by bell. once the swing went the windies just tried to hard to get it going reverse. they became cannon fodder once they were chasing tail with the over rate

Haha just realised that England sent out the nightwatchman for an over and Stokes played out the last over himself, which meant he didn't even face a ball. How moronic can you get?
Stokes gone already, Disappointing, would have liked to see him get a hundred

now they have quickly cleaned up some wickets .

I know I've said it 100 times before, but Ramdin absolutely stinks.
With Blackwood and Brathwaite, the Windies have two good young batsmen to build their future on.
And a good maiden century for Blackwood

Pity he didn't get much support from the tail to hang in there with him.
