How To Watch England Vs West Indies 1st Test: Live Streaming Guide
England will host West Indies in a three-match Test series starting Wednesday, July 10, at Lord's in London. This series is part of the World Test Championship cycle.
Ben Stokes' England team is currently at the bottom of the WTC standings after a 1-4 defeat in India earlier this year. They are eager to bounce back and keep their slim hopes for the WTC Final alive.
Kraigg Brathwaite's West Indies team is sixth in the WTC table. They are confident after a historic Test win against Australia, the current World Test Championship holders.
This will be West Indies' first visit to England since 2020 when they surprised the hosts by winning the series opener. Brathwaite and his team aim to replicate that success and spoil James Anderson's farewell at Lord's.
Lord's has not been a favourable venue for West Indies, with their last win there dating back to 1988. In eight visits since then, they have drawn two matches but lost six, including the most recent three encounters.
The upcoming series promises high-quality red ball action, attracting cricket fans worldwide who have been watching T20 cricket for months. Here’s how you can catch all the action live:
