Correct P4S , Bonner Player of the match. Well deserved.

But he and Holder were mostly comfortable, though the former had a scare when struck on the pad from spinner Jack Leach with 22 overs left.
Given not out on field, England captain Joe Root decided not to use his final review, a poor decision as replays showed the ball would have hit leg stump.
England put themselves in that predicament by earlier wasting a review on an lbw appeal that was not even close.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

2nd Test @ Kensington starts on the 16th.
54 tests at the venue. West Indies winning 25 of those, 17 drawn matches and wins to the visiting side on 12 occasions.
Versus England - 16 matches, 6 wins to the Windies, 7 draws and 3 wins to the Poms, the most recent being in 2004.
The West Indies had a period of 60 years without losing a game here (1935-1994). Including 12 wins in a row from 1978 - 1993.
The last 7 matches have provided a result. 4 wins for the home team and victories by; Australia (2012), Sri Lanka (2018) & New Zealand (2014).
Should be a good game IMO, these sides look evenly matched. No odds available as yet.
