TOSS | West Indies win toss and opt to bowl
Joe Root:"We have to look ahead to the next five days and put up a good performance. We spoke to Mark and Jimmy and knew it's a high risk to play them in back to back games. It is a must win for us, but we need to look after them as well. We can take 20 wickets and we're looking forward to that. We have Broad, Woakes, Curran and Bess in the bowling. Firstly we need runs and need to improve there. We need to figure out how we want to play our cricket. We got ourselves where we could win the game after being down in the first two and a half days and that gave me a lot of pleasure. It looks a very good wicket, might spin a little bit and is softer than usual. I have had a lot of time thinking about Test cricket and want to get out there and perform."
Jason Holder:"We're going to field first. Try to make use of the overhead conditions. We've got the same team as well. Whatever it is under the surface, we'll try to extract it in the first session. The bowlers have pulled up quite well, expect similar things in this game from them. We've got to start fresh; different venue, different match. We have to learn from our mistakes in the last game and rectify it here. The last game brought a lot of smiles to the faces of our people back home and we'll look to keep it that way."

Archer says sorry

Hello and welcome once again as we at Timesofindia.com continue with our live updates from West Indies' tour of England, which moves to Manchester today for the start of the second Test.
England are chasing the three-match series having lost the first Test, and they suffered a body blow of sorts on the Thursday morning when fast bowler Jofra Archer was dropped for breaking the bio-secure protocol. He will now have to undergo a five-day isolation, during which he will be tested for COVID-19.
However, the welcome news for the hosts is that their regular skipper Joe Root has returned to lead the side.
That and much more in our Match Preview.
