With Test cricket making its post-lockdown return, England's fast bowlers devise a new tactic for shining the ball now the use of saliva is banned.
England fast bowler Mark Wood says players are now using "back sweat" rather than saliva to try and shine the ball during the first Test against West Indies.
It was a disappointing day for England and, with a better weather forecast for Friday, West Indies has the chance to seize control of the match."We haven't had the best day so plenty to do. I'd prefer a few in the wickets column rather than the pace column," Wood said. "We didn't get it right with the ball, they got their line and length spot on. It's a bit of cobwebs and rust."
