The Cricketer runs down the who, what, where, when, why, how much, which channel and how wet will it be for the second match of the series
England face West Indies in the second of three Tests.
The second Test gets underway on Thursday, July 16 at 11am (BST).
The series moves from The Ageas Bowl to Emirates Old Trafford, which will host the remaining Tests in the series. The West Indies were previously based up in Manchester prior to the first Test getting underway.
England will welcome back their captain Joe Root after he missed the first Test to attend the birth of his second child. That means at least one change in the batting line-up, with Joe Denly or Zak Crawley, set to miss out.
Denly endured another horrid Test on the south coast, scoring just 18 and 29 during two awkward innings. Crawley fared better, with his second innings century giving England hope of victory.
The selectors also have a decision to make over the bowling attack, with Stuart Broad pushing for a recall. England's second-highest Test wicket-taker was fuming at being omitted at The Ageas Bowl and is all-but-certain to return.
Mark Wood is the most likely to miss out, but with six Tests in seven weeks both James Anderson and Jofra Archer could be withdrawn with a view to managing their fitness. Sam Curran and Chris Woakes are also waiting in the wings.
Could Rahkeem Cornwall force his way into the XI?
Jos Buttler is likely to keep hold of the gloves despite another uneven display in Southampton. He once again failed with the bat and dropped Jermaine Blackwood during the successful Windies chase. Ben Foakes is in reserve.
The West Indies are waiting on the fitness of John Campbell, who retired hurt in the second innings with a foot problem though he did return to bat to help steer the team over the line.
Perhaps the only other decision to make regarding the make-up of the XI is whether to again go with four quicks, and Roston Chase as the spinner, or to recall Rahkeem Cornwall. Kemar Roach finished the match without a wicket but his place is not really under threat.
West Indies: Jason Holder (c), Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Kraigg Brathwaite, Shamarh Brooks, John Campbell, Roston Chase, Rahkeem Cornwall, Shane Dowrich (wk), Chemar Holder, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Raymon Reifer, Shannon Gabriel
After a gloomy, yet dry start to the match, conditions are set to improve going into the weekend with sunshine expected on during the second half of the match. Temperatures will range between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius.
