FIRST TEST RATINGS

ENGLAND RORY BURNS 6.5

BATTED four and a half hours for 72 runs, but England needed him to turn one of his starts into something substantial. Dismissal just before lunch on the fourth day gave West Indies the opening they needed.

DOM SIBLEY 6

MADE up for his first-innings duck with a patient half-century on Saturday, but keeps getting caught on the leg side — a curious fragility for a player whose leg-side game is considered his bread and butter.

JOE DENLY 5

FACES a struggle to keep his Test place after making 18 and 29 — scores that sum up his career. He has reached double figures in 24 of his 28 Test innings but hasn’t passed 35 in 17 of them.

ZAK CRAWLEY 7

HIS second-innings 76 felt like the future, which could be bad news for Denly. It was full of clean straight-drives and judicious use of his feet to the spinner. Should keep his place when Joe Root returns.

BEN STOKES 7

TOP-SCORED and returned the best bowling figures in the first innings, then batted with verve and imagination in the second. But both his dismissals were loose and both triggered a collapse. Decision to bat under grey skies proved costly.

OLLIE POPE 4

A PAIR of 12s brought him back to earth after a heady winter, but Pope still possesses that rarity among current English Test batsmen: an average over 40.

JOS BUTTLER 5

DID well to make 35 on the second day. But second-innings failure by Buttler (below) means he now has just one fifty in 21 Test innings since the start of last summer’s Ashes. Chose the wrong moment to drop a Test catch for the first time in two years.

DOM BESS 6

MORE than did his job in the first innings with the wickets of Hope and Blackwood, but the pitch didn’t offer as much last-day help as expected, and the marginal decisions started to go in West Indies’ favour.

JOFRA ARCHER 7

NOT himself in the first innings, but he stood alone among the England attack as West Indies chased 200. Lethal with the new ball and produced a brute with the old one to get rid of Chase. Biffed a few runs, too.

MARK WOOD 6

ADMITTED his lengths were wrong on the second evening, when West Indies were relieved to lose only one wicket. Figures of two for 110 did not vindicate the decision to drop Stuart Broad.

JIMMY ANDERSON 6.5

UNPLAYABLE at times in the first innings, when he took his Test tally to 587. Couldn’t work his magic second time round.
