Good morning and welcome to day two of the first Test of the summer, the morning after the evening before, where everyone staggered over the line at twenty past seven, punch drunk and 16 wickets poorer.
Recap of an Extraordinary Day One
It was a humdinger of a first day, with punchy innings from Harry Brook and Glenn Phillips providing the only ballast against the clattering of wickets between the showers. Kyle Jamieson finished with five for 62, and Ollie Robinson took four for ten, including an extraordinary triple-wicket maiden in his first over back after a two-year hiatus.
Weather and Pitch Conditions
The weather looks better for today, and batting should be easier, which may be some consolation for those looking at their weekend tickets and wondering whether they will have anything to watch. Play starts at 11am BST, and we invite you to join us for what promises to be another captivating day of Test cricket.
