England vs West Indies radio coverage: How to listen to second Test live
England host West Indies in a three-match Test series this month - but how can fans listen to live cricket on the radio? Express Sport has all the details.
Joe Root: England captain previews West Indies second Test
The three-match Test series between England and West Indies got underway last week at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. The second Test takes place at Old Trafford from July 16-20, with the third Test at the same venue from July 24-28.
Regular captain Joe Root missed the opening Test defeat to attend the birth of his second child but he returns for the second Test in Manchester.
"I don't want to be too much of an armchair critic but sat at home watching the game, [our guys] having not played a lot of cricket for a while sort of showed,” said the England skipper.
"I'm sure having a game under their belts and getting back into the rhythm of a Test match will help going into this game and for the rest of the summer.
“I expect that to go up another notch this week.

"For the first two and half days we were probably behind the game but managed to wrestle ourselves into a position where we could win.
“In the past, sometimes I think we have fallen away a little bit early but in the last two sessions we still had a real chance of winning the game. That is a small step forward for us - there were lots of positives to take."
West Indies have a formidable-looking bowling attack and skipper Jason Holder believes enough experienced heads in the squad to make things extremely difficult for England.
"If you look at the calibre of players we've got - Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope have had success here in England and that is just to name a few," said Holder.
"I am more than confident that these guys will do well in this series."
