What a way to resume International Cricket. After a dump day 1, due to rains and bad light the next four days brought pure entertainment to the cricketing fans all over the world. With the new normal with no person in attendance,it was always going to be different but the game didn't change at all. An interesting match was expected after a long Hiatus and that's what we got.
West Indies have been brilliant in their entire match and take a much deserving 1-0 lead in the series. They were terrific with ball and bat both. With needing 200 runs to win, they lost 3 wickets early but J Blackwood stand stood. His 95 runs helped the Caribbean side win the match. Captain Jason Holder and Man of the Match S Gabriel were brillant the later picking 5-75 and 4-62 in the first innings. England just had no answer to the West Indies pace attack. The Second test will be played on 16th July.

Arsenal have been pretty awful this season when it came to defending and a mistake at the back allowed Son Heung Min to dip the ball over the outrushing keeper to equalise just 2 minutes later.
It reminded Stall mate till the final 10 minutes and the deadlock was broken in the 81st Minute when Spurs Defender Toby Alderweireld headed in a corner to turn the game around 2-1. That goal proved out to be the winner and Jose's men climbed above Arsenal at 8th spot.
