Finally, we come to the conclusion of Day 1 with rain hampering the game big time. Throughout the day we witnessed, we witnessed the game of only 17.4 overs where England made 35 runs with a loss of one wicket.

Rain continues to pour and the play is still obstructed. The waiting game continues and there would be extra time to cover up for the play tomorrow.

As the rain gets heavier, the covers are covering the entire square. The weather does not look very encouraging either.

UPDATE: So here's another piece of bad news. After bad light, we have the covers on as it has started to rain once again at Southampton. Quite a heart-breaking update!

So as we wait for the weather to get better, the teams have decided to take tea. In this session, we saw Rory Burns and Joe Denly fighting it out after an early wicket of Dominic Sibly. 

08 Jul, 21:00 (IST)

As much as you, we too hate to say this that the play has been interrupted once again due to bad light. Rory Burns is on the score of 20 runs and Joe Denly is batting on 14. 

08 Jul, 20:46 (IST)

Burns and Denly have been doing quite well for the team. The sky also seems to have cleared and finally after a lot of delays we have the two teams locking horns with each other after a lot of interruptions. The two have brought up a partnership of 34 runs on the board. Denly is on the score of 13 and Burns is batting on 20. 

08 Jul, 20:38 (IST)

Gabriel Shannon and Keymar Roach have bowled so far and the play has picked up a bit with Joe Burns slamming a FOUR in the fifth over. Three slips and a gully for the batsmen. The bowlers have been doing quite well for West Indies. FOUR more by Denly to end the eighth over. Runs flowing easy for the team, as Danley and Burns get on to a scoring spree.

UPDATE: Here is another update coming in from Southampton. The team has been delayed by half an hour. The play has already begun. Dominic Sibley Trolled Mercilessly For the Getting Out on A Duck During ENG vs WI, 1st Test 2020 (Watch Video).
