Sept. 8 (CRICKETNMORE) - England were struggling for 46/6 after they bowled out West Indies for 123 on a remarkable first day of the deciding Test at Lord's on Thursday. Skipper Jason Holder and Kemar Roach taking two wickets apiece to leave England trailing by 77 runs.

The series is perfectly poised at 1-1 after West Indies, who last won a series in England in 1988, chased down 322 to win by five wickets at Headingley.
