Related: The scariest Test England ever played: terror at the hands of West Indies 10.38am BST Hello there. At the start of play yesterday, everyone was talking about day/night Test cricket. By the close of play, the conversation had switched to the fact that, when it comes to Test cricket, England and West Indies are like night and day.
