Cricket is the latest sport to make its way out of lockdown, with Hampshire's Rose Bowl playing host on Wednesday to the first of a three-match Test series - read on to find out how to watch an England vs West Indies live stream online from anywhere.
All eyes will be on England talisman Ben Stokes who will be captaining his country for the first time in place of Joe Root, who is on paternity leave. They'll also be plenty of scrutiny on off-spinner Dom Bess who has been chosen ahead of the returning Moeen Ali and Jack Leach in the home side's bowling line up. England's top order meanwhile, is expected to be made up of Dom Sibley, Rory Burns, Zak Crawley and Joe Denly.
The Windies haven't won a Test series in England since 1988, but did manage to notch up a 2-1 series win in the Caribbean when the two teams last played each other in this format back in February 2019.
While the tourists have been much improved over the past year, its a somewhat weakened team that will face England here, with key batsmen Darren Bravo and Shimron Hetmyer having declined to travel for this Test series.
As with many other post-Covid-19 events, the action is set to take place behind closed doors and the series also sees the introduction of a saliva ban which could affect how both teams approach bowling.
