England v West Indies: Second Test team news

England have named an unchanged squad after a three-day victory in Birmingham. There will be a temptation to rest one of Stuart Broad or James Anderson - or even all-rounder Ben Stokes - for tougher tasks ahead, with Chris Woakes standing by to return to the XI.

He could replace any one of the three having taken the new ball before, while if Stokes were to be rested it would appear pretty safe for England to promote Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali to six and seven and slot Woakes in at eight.

West Indies will hope the pacy Shannon Gabriel is available to add some much-needed spark to their bowling attack, while leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo, who has 86 wickets from 24 Tests to date, will surely also come under consideration.

England squad: Joe Root (Yorkshire, captain), Alastair Cook (Essex), Mark Stoneman (Surrey), Tom Westley (Essex), Dawid Malan (Middlesex), Ben Stokes (Durham), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire, wk), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Toby Roland-Jones (Middlesex), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), James Anderson (Lancashire), Mason Crane (Hampshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire)

West Indies squad: Jason Holder (capt), Kraigg Braithwaite (vice-capt), Devendra Bishoo, Jermaine Blackwood, Roston Chase, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich (wk), Shannon Gabriel, Shimron Hetmyer, Kyle Hope, Shai Hope (wk), Alzarri Joseph, Kieran Powell, Raymon Reifer, Kemar Roach

England v West Indies: Second Test betting tips

Our Dave Tickner offers up his tips for the second Test at Headingley: "A finish inside three days is 9/4 here. It’s the shortest price I’ve ever seen in that market, but it’s not short enough given what we saw last week. If England see cloud cover on Friday morning, win the toss and bowl first, you honestly couldn't rule out a two-day Test.

The other huge problem for West Indies is that there is little they can really do to bolster their batting. And any improvement they make to their bowling attack – bringing back Shannon Gabriel, or Devendra Bishoo – only boosts the chances of a three-day finish."
