Currently, England is being led by Ben Stokes in the match held at Southampton in a bio-secure environment with no spectators due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Stokes won the toss and has elected bat first.

Rain is playing a spoiled sport as it interrupted the toss and well as the match just after three overs being played. 

Root will join the team soon and will lead England in the second Test match. The English team will also play series against Pakistan and Ireland after West Indies. There are also talks of a limited-overs series with Australia.
