Written by I Dig SportsToss West Indies win toss and bowl vs England
West Indies have won the toss and sent England in to bat in the second Test at Trent Bridge.
Ben Stokes, England's captain, said he was "really excited to get Woody back out there in the whites".
"It was a tough one if we were to win the toss, a little bit undecided but I'll keep it to myself what I would have done," Stokes said. "Really excited now for more responsibility being passed to our bowlers that are coming through."
West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite said he wanted to see more from his bowlers and batters following their defeat by an innings and 114 runs in the first Test at Lord's.
"With the ball we could be a lot more disciplined," he said. "Batting-wise we need to build partnerships, we've got to score at least 300 in the first inngings."
Play was set to begin in glorious sunshine.
