West Indies choose to bat first against England at Trent Bridge

Nottingham (England), Jul 18 (AP) West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first against England in the second test at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
    West Indies need to win to force a series decider at Edgbaston next week.
    The tourists scored only 121 and 136 at Lord's and lost by an innings and 114 runs last Friday, in sevens sessions.
    Both teams had already named their lineups but West Indies was forced into a late change when spinner Gudakesh Motie had to withdraw because of the flu, and was replaced by off-spinner Kevin Sinclair.
    Sinclair's only previous test was in January, the famous win against Australia at the Gabba where he scored 50 in his first bat and took a wicket.
    England's only change after the forced retirement of James Anderson was to bring back Mark Wood, its fastest bowler.
    Lineups:
    England: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (captain), Jamie Smith, Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood, Shoaib Bashir.
    West Indies: Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Mikyle Louis, Kirk McKenzie, Alick Athanaze, Kavem Hodge, Jason Holder, Joshua da Silva, Kevin Sinclair, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales. (AP) DDV
