Pitch report: Looks a good surface with an even covering of grass. It's going to be good for the fast bowlers as there's moisture. Expect some bounce due to the grass.

Kraigg Brathwaite: The pitch has moisture, so we will have to work hard. The guys are in good spirits, we have belief in ourselves. We are going with four quality pacers. We have spinners as well.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz: I will like to bowl. The first hour will be important for the bowlers. We have to take advantage as the wicket looks good. We got two spinners, Taijul and myself. We have three fast bowlers. It's a great chance for the top-order batters. We have had good communication.

Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to field

09:00 Local Time, 13:00 GMT, 18:30 IST: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the first Test between West Indies and Bangladesh folks! Earlier in the day, 17 wickets fell in the Australia-India Test on a spicy pitch in Perth. But don’t think we’ll get to such quick and juicy wickets in the Caribbean. West Indies do have a fiery bowling unit in the presence of Alzarri, Roach, Seales and Shamar Joseph, but will the conditions complement their skills? Only time will tell. Bangladesh beat Pakistan in a couple of Tests in Pakistan, so their batters will be riding high on confidence and looking forward to repeating their heroics in the Caribbean. The Windies batting line-up isn’t an experienced one, however, playing in home conditions is an added advantage. So you can expect the WI batters to apply themselves better and put up a good performance in this series. Toss and teams are not far away, stay tuned..

West Indies (Playing XI): Kraigg Brathwaite(c), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Joshua Da Silva(w), Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Mikyle Louis, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales
