England captain Ben Stokes was left gobsmacked as Harry Brook pulled off a stunning catch at third slip in the first Test against West Indies at Lord's.

England won the toss and chose to bowl first, giving retiring veteran James Anderson the chance to lead the team out onto the field. Anderson received a standing ovation from the Lord's crowd, while his daughters Lola and Ruby rang the iconic Lord's bell at the ground before the start of play.

The hosts struck first through Gus Atkinson, who got West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite to chop onto his stumps off the pacer's second delivery in Test cricket. Atkinson then took a second as Kirk McKenzie edged a length ball to Zak Crawley.

The third wicket went to England skipper Ben Stokes. Aiming to bowl regularly for the first time in a long while, he came into the attack as early as the 14th over. His first four overs went for six runs, before he struck in the fifth. An edge from Mikyle Louis flew to the right of Harry Brook at third slip, seemingly past him. However, the fielder stretched himself out, flying through the air to pluck it inches off the ground.

The third umpire checked the catch and ruled it was fair. At lunch on day one, West Indies were 61-3 in 28 overs.
