So what about the West Indies ? Are they coming with their full strength ? If they do not drop any player due to injury or covid19 we could witness interesting games between the two teams as clearly some of the England good players are out of the team.

I am not expecting West Indies to outperform England even if some of their players are not in the team, i do not remember a series in which West Indies was dominating in the Test level, if it is any other format then i would give them a chance but not in the Test format because they lack quality players who could play longer innings consistently.

I completely forget that we are going to witness the first international cricket match after the three-month lockdown in a few days. Even without Root, Bairstow, Moin Ali and Curran, England looks far better than the West Indies team. Hope WI give a good fight for us and we don't see a 3-day match instead of 5 days.

If it goes to the 5th day i would be surprised.

The match will last for 5 days if West indies are able to show some good performance. Both teams will be playing after a long time and it will be interesting to see how they react to the conditions. England may have slight advantage as they have already played a warmup match recently and the series is going to be in their homeland but i will not under estimate the WI team this time.
