England vs. West Indies 3rd Test

[Anonymous]

West Indies 1/52 shortly after lunch on day 1, having won the toss.

The Windies gave a debut to Sylvester Joseph who comes in for Devon Smith, also Fidel Edwards comes in for Jermaine Lawson, Carlton Baugh for Ridley Jacobs and Dave Mohammed for Omari Banks.

England has an unchanged side.

Watching Flintoff bowl at the monent, even Hoggard is bowling well.

Flintoff got Lara, clean bowled, which is not an easy thing to do.

England looking very impressive, Windies looking like shot ducks at 4 for 124, on a very good batting wicket

Bravo looks a decent prospect for the WI but they haven't got much really apart from Lara, Chanders and Sarwan at times.
