ENG vs WI 2nd Test, Day 1: Sibley nears fifty as hosts reach 112/3

By Saurabh Sharma July 16, 2020 • 21:19 PM View: 1028

Manchester, July 16: Dominic Sibley dug deep to hold one end up but Alzarri Joseph built on from Roston Chase's early inroads by sending skipper Joe Root back in the hut as England were 112/3 at Tea on the opening day of the second Test at Old Trafford on Thursday.

After off-spinner Chase (2/24) reduced the hosts to 29/2 either side of the lunch break, opener Sibley and Root -- back leading the side after missing the first Test -- shared a 53-run stand for the third wicket.
