1st Test: Jermaine Blackwood's 95 helps West Indies beat England
XtraTime Web Desk: Test cricket returns after a long break due to COVID-19 outbreak in a grand fashion as West Indies beat England at the Ageas Bowl to spark off celebrations in a rather quiet way. Fantastic fightback and Jason Holder's men did make a brilliant turnaround to eke out a four-wicket win. Chasing 200, West Indies suffered an early setback but a 154-ball 95 from Jermaine Blackwood and useful contributions from Roston Chase and Shane Dowrich ensured they were in the hunt.
Skipper Jason Holder did play his part as he guided his team over the line. It was a complete team effort as Shannon Gabriel and Holder starred with the ball as a brittle England line-up failed to put up a strong total. Ben Stokes, in his first stint as captain, ends on a losing note.
