England are taking on the West Indies in the first Test of the series in Antigua. After the visitors posted 311 in the first innings – thanks largely to Jonny Bairstow's magnificent 140, West Indies ended Day 2 at 202/4 with Nkrumah Bonner (34*) and Jason Holder (43*) remaining unbeaten. Among the English bowlers, all of Chris Woakes, Craig Overton, Mark Wood, and Ben Stokes ended with a wicket each.

However, the Windies innings preceded a funny incident on the field involving fast bowler Wood. As the English players regrouped for a huddle as captain Joe Root said the final words to his teammates before taking the field, Wood was left alone near the boundary.

As the English players entered the field, the fast bowler reacted hilariously to have missed out on the huddle.

Watch:

Earlier, the Windies openers -- captain Kraigg Brathwaite and the recalled John Campbell -- coasted after England was bowled out for 311 from 268-6 overnight.

Brathwaite and Campbell cruised past lunch and hit 13 boundaries and a six until Campbell's demise ended their stand on 83. Campbell was out down the leg side for 35. Captain Brathwaite reached his fifty in only 62 balls but was prised out for 55 by fast bowler Mark Wood.

Woakes and Overton led the England attack for the first time in the absence of the dropped James Anderson and Stuart Board and the injured Ollie Robinson, and failed to impress with the new ball and the old ball despite taking a wicket each. They were the most expensive, apart from a couple of overs of spin from part-timer Joe Root.

The day started with England batting and adding only 43 runs to its overnight total.

Jonny Bairstow moved from 109 to 140 off 259 balls before he was last man out, slicing high to backward point.
