between England and West Indies
The news is that West Indies won the toss and will field
Dwayne Bravo will make his debut, while Robert Key comes in for
Mark Butcher
The slightly overcast and muggy conditions the main reason for Lara
fielding first
A thin covering of even grass on what appears to be a good pitch
faces the England openers
Applause as Lara leads his team onto the hallowed turf
A good crowd in already with the first three days already sold out
Trescothick and Strauss to open for England while Collins will
start with the ball
0.1 Collins to Trescothick, no run, line and length, gets forward and
strokes down the pitch where mid on is round to collect
0.2 Collins to Trescothick, one run, short of a length, gets up a bit
but well turned off the hips backward of the short leg
0.3 Collins to Strauss, two runs, short of a length, angled at the
legs, gets half back in the crease and pushed gently into the
vacant mid wicket area

pushing it across the left hander
3.2 Best to Strauss, one run, full, yorker, dug out late, squirts to
the off, good calling and running

4.1 Collins to Strauss, no run, outside off, short of length, gets back

slips
4.2 Collins to Strauss, no run, left alone outside off, getting some
away movement off the seam now

hardly any pace or real bounce for Best

to work it to the on side, plays too early and lobs it to square
leg who takes a good catch above his head

ME Trescothick c Sarwan b Best 16 (21b 3x4 0x6)
AJ Strauss 13* (13b 1x4) TL Best 2.4-0-11-1
False shot from Trescothick, slow pace off the pitch had him
playing too early, and can only be described as a batsman error

call from the umpire
5.5 Best to Key, no run, on the back foot, just short of a length,
defends to the off side of the pitch
5.6 Best to Key, no run, short of a length, brave leave as it comes in

quicker off the pitch after the sunshine, but it is still very
even, no real cracks and still an even thin covering of grass
Umpires Koertzen and Harper lead the players out to the middle

Umpires have had a look at the light and offered it, and no
surprise Lara accepts and off they go
News is that if they are still off the field at 17:30 then it will
be stumps
No chance of the players getting back on tonight, so hopefully you
will be back with us at 10:30 (09:30 GMT) tomorrow, good night
from Wisden-Cricinfo
Good morning from Lords for the final day of the 1st Test between
England and West Indies
News is that we have had some early morning rain that has cleared
enough for the covers to be removed
West Indies face a uphill battle to save this test and any rain
will help their cause
As we speak a cloud comes over the ground and drops some more
voodoo onto the pitch
Umbrellas go up and the covers come out again
Match State: Delay - Day 5 - Rain
98 overs were scheduled for today, but this interruption may put
paid to that
And now the cloud moves and the covers come off again, this might
happen a few times this morning with better weather predicted for
this afternoon
Play expected to get under way at 10:40
