Yes England are favourites, but don't write off west indies. Since 2015 , England and west indies have played in 9 test matches both home and away, and England and west indies both have won 4 each with one drawn #westindiesvseng (1/n)....
One of the famous victories was in Leeds , when chasing 322 in second innings owing to strong contribution from Braithwaite and shai hope , Windies chased down the total (2/n)..
The pace attack of westindies is not to be underestimated in roach, Gabriel, alzarri Joseph and ably supported by holder, west indies possibly have the best attack since the great golden period. (3/n)
Also, if I recall correctly, west indies play with duke ball, so the bowlers are used to it . However, it is west indies batting that could decide the series. (4/n).
A lot will depend on hope, Braithwaite. And if the middle lower middle order of west indies - chase , dowrich and holder can score runs , as they have occassionally in past, west indies may put up competitive totals (5/n).
Fingers crossed as we are about to witness first action after pandemic (last n/n)
