For those of you in the USA or Canada remember there is live video
for this test match
Access can be gained from the live scorecard
The captains are in the middle for the Toss with West Indies
winning it and deciding to bat
Joseph, Baugh and Mohammed comes in for West Indies
England are unchanged
News is that lunch will not be shifted and will be taken as
scheduled at 12:30 (11:30 GMT)
Comment from Vaughan at the toss was that he was not upset about
bowling first, looking to take advantage of the conditions
The pitch does look fine after the downpour yesterday and should be
good for batting, but the dampness and overhead conditions should
help the bowlers early on
Joseph, on debut, comes out to open with Gayle
Old Trafford packed out before a ball has been bowled, the delay
might have helped, but good to see a Test venue full on day one
