Very lucky it isn't two:

Roach to Denly, no run, full and so straight! Denly completely misses that, and that's surely got to be close! West Indies review and little wonder. Did it nip too much? Going over the top? That's the only thing that's saving him ... umpire's call on leg stump! Just a fraction too much of the ball was deemed to be missing leg, but my God, that was as out as they come, in all honesty! |  |

That's not bad for our top order. |  |

It looked so out I wouldn't have been surprised to see him turn and walk off, very lucky indeed. |  |

Burns needs to get some runs, I know he got 80 odd last week but needs to beat out Jennings convincingly for me as don't rate KJ. |  |

Hm. Not a great platform provided by the openers. 16 runs for two wickets. [Post edited 31 Jan 2019 14:51]

Our best openers are in the TMS commentary box.
Cook, Vaughan, and even Aggers could do a better job than what we've got.
Boycott, not so much. | |

And the captain just failing in his attempt to get out to the same wide long hop two balls later, feck my old boots our top order is difficult viewing. | |

Think we can forgive Root that dismissal, horrendous spitting delivery. Would have got better players than him out. | |

Just like KP used to say "it's the way I play" rather than getting your head down and grinding it out.
Denly doesn't even open for Kent in the Div 2 championship.
If they are still going to play positive cricket Jason Roy should slot in the top order or a left field selection Luke Wells of Sussex as a more pragmatic opening batsman. |  |

Refuse to follow this on BBC Sport Cricket Social, they have a Norwich flag in the background of their main picture. |  |

I think until the West Indies have batted it's difficult to tell what a decent score is. If England are able to get 150+ that might prove a challenging total. It looks two paced and doing plenty already in the second session on Day 1! Certainly doesn't look easy to bat on by any stretch. |  |

There's been some good bowing but this is disappointing. I'm amazed that Moeen is still in too. | |

145-6, excellent 50 partnership between these two but the pitch is definitely looking more sedate than this morning. Oh for someone in the Trott/Pujara mould who could've battled through the troublesome morning spell. | |

Yes, new ball might have had something to do with it too. They've definitely had to dig in for these runs though, Moeen looked awful early on but settled a bit now.
Get to 250 and we're in the match I think. | |

Absolutely 250 puts us right in the game, Broad has to take the new ball..he'll be flying in. Bowled quickly on a benign pitch in Colombo (If Root could catch he'd have had a few more scalps) and reckon he will suit this wicket a treat. | |

Handy time for Moeen to remember he can bat. Decent partnership this. |  |

Maybe 190 then...
Moeen and Foakes a little unlucky I think but this is probably another sub-par score. | |

190 all out. We are so utterly hopeless with the bat. | |

And I'm not sure there's one person in the Lions squad or I can think of in county cricket who'd fair any better. Technique and temperament has been jettisoned in favour of being able to hit the sodding thing out the park or scoop it over your own head.  | |

It’s not the same pitch and conditions used all round the world. Wait and see how the West Indies bat in their first innings before slating that score. The new ball looks to make an impact, important England use it. | |

Granted that 190 may still turn out to be possibly par for this pitch but my point about our batting isn't based solely on this innings.
Jimmy just went very close by the sounds of it. | |

It's the lack of a proper opener above all else, we're into the middle order inside an hour too often. | |
