After suffering a humiliating loss in the first Test against England at Edgbaston, West Indies are squaring off against England once again in the second Test at Headingley. While the hosts will be buoyed after inflicting an innings defeat on their rivals, the visitors need to realize that all is not lost and there is a chance for a fightback. Skipper Jason Holder needs to instill the belief in his young side that they can turn around their fortunes. The batting is one area of concern which needs to come good if the Windies are to pose a serious challenge against England. West Indies bowlers need to step up as well.

Meanwhile, for England skipper Joe Root will look to continue his fine form as he is just one-half-century away from equalling Ab de Villiers record of scoring 50 in 12 successive Test matches. Pacer James Anderson is also eight wickets short of 500 Test wickets.

England vs West Indies Live Score and Updates: England are 41/3. Captain Joe Root and Malan. Stoneman was removed by Kemar ROach after the ball angled into the left-hander to hit the inside edge and wicket-keeper took an easy one behind the stumps.
