Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details

West Indies won the toss and chose to bat on the opening day of the first Test against England in Barbados.

England have selected three seamers and two spinners, meaning a resurgent Stuart Broad – who impressed during the warm-up matches, misses out. West Indies have opted for just the one spinner, Roston Chase, in addition to four quick bowlers.

West Indies 1 Kraigg Brathwaite, 2 John Campbell, 3 Shai Hope, 4 Darren Bravo, 5 Roston Chase, 6 Shimron Hetmyer, 7 Shane Dowrich (wk), 8 Jason Holder (capt), 9 Kemar Roach, 10 Alzarri Joseph, 11 Shannon Gabriel

England 1 Rory Burns, 2 Keaton Jennings, 3 Jonny Bairstow, 4 Joe Root (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler, 7 Ben Foakes (wk), 8 Moeen Ali, 9 Sam Curran, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 James Anderson
