England’s tour of the West Indies 2019: 2nd Test squads, fixtures, start times, TV

After a 381-run defeat in the first Test against the West Indies England will head to Antigua knowing that they need to perform better in all areas if they are to draw level in the three-match series.

In the Barbados Test England were bowled out for just 77 in their first innings and following the defeat the tourists’ preparation and selection has come under scrutiny.

Speaking to the BBC, England captain Joe Root said: “The first innings is where we lost it and that has nothing to do with selections of the bowlers. It is not a reason for a performance like that.”

Head coach Trevor Bayliss is looking for a response from the “hurting” England players. He said: “Every time we’ve played like this the guys have come out and played pretty well in the next game. They’re hurting; they know they haven’t played well. That’ll kick them into gear, or it should do.”

When is the 2nd Test?

The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua will host the second Test match between the West Indies and England. Taking place from 31 January to 4 February play starts daily at 2pm (UK time).

The final Test of the three-match series takes place from 9-13 February in St Lucia. As well as the three Test matches, England take on the Windies in five one-day internationals (ODI) and three Twenty20 (T20) games.
