I wonder what Cook thought about the warm-up matches....

In the first two-day game at Cave Hill, England made 317, led by knocks of 87 from Joe Root and 56 from Ben Stokes against spinner Bryan Charles (5-100) and pacer Chemar Holder (3-67). Pacers Jimmy Anderson (4-12) and Stuart Broad (4-19) were the leading wicket-takers as the President's XI lost 18 wickets for 203 runs.

The second game was only slightly more sensible, as England made 379 thanks mainly to Jonny Bairstow (98) and Rory Burns (68). Medium pacer Raymon Reifer took 3-39 and part-time spinner John Campbell 3-58. The President's XI were 233-11 (yes, eleven!) when the match was called off. Sunil Ambris made 94, while pacer Chris Woakes took 3-31.

Grateful if anyone could explain what benefit West Indian cricket derived from the events:

Can anyone confirm which of the Caribbean's local radio stations are carrying ball by ball commentary of the test matches that is accessible online?
