Six wickets from Stuart Broad put England in a strong position against West Indies on the opening day of the first Test despite a typically obstinate innings from Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Once again West Indies' best batsman by a distance, 37-year-old Chanderpaul made an unbeaten 87 as they battled to 243-9 on an attritional day at Lord's. He survived a number of close lbw shouts as well as the dreadful run-out of Darren Bravo to flourish despite Broad's excellent display. After playing second fiddle to James Anderson in the morning, Broad returned to end the day with 6-72 in conditions that offered movement both in the air and off the pitch.
