Team news
With Benn dropped from the squad, the stage is set for Devendra Bishoo to make his Test return after a three-year hiatus. Shannon Gabriel has also been recalled and alongside Carlos Brathwaite adds to West Indies' options but they are set to stick with the same three-man pace attack.
West Indies (probable) 1 Kraigg Brathwaite, 2 Devon Smith, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 6 Jermaine Blackwood, 7 Denesh Ramdin (capt/wk), 8 Jason Holder, 9 Jerome Taylor, 10 Kemar Roach, 11 Devendra Bishoo.
James Tredwell's arm injury looks like limiting him to another one-off Test appearance (five years after his first) as Moeen waits in the wings. Wherever he bats, it will strengthen the line-up. England's preferred template would be to stick with four seamers but Adil Rashid remains with the squad if the pitch invites a gamble. Despite the quick turnaround, Liam Plunkett and Mark Wood are expected to stay on the sidelines.
England (probable): 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Jonathan Trott, 3 Gary Ballance, 4 Ian Bell, 5 Joe Root, 6 Ben Stokes, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Jos Buttler (wkt) 9 Chris Jordan, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 James Anderson.
Pitch and conditions
The National Cricket Stadium has only hosted two Tests - the most recent in 2009, when a West Indies side weakened by contractual disputes lost to Bangladesh. There is some dampness in the pitch, which may mean a bit of life early on, while Denesh Ramdin has suggested it will spin more than Antigua. The most recent first-class match, in December, saw Leeward Islands skittled after choosing to bat and Windward Islands, led by a Devon Smith hundred, win comfortably, with offspinner Liam Sebastien taking 10 for 89. There could also be the odd tropical shower to complicate matters.
