West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl in the second Test against England in Manchester which was delayed due to rain on Thursday.
England are without Jofra Archer after the fast bowler breached the team's bio-secure protocols while top order batsman Joe Denly has been dropped to make way for captain Joe Root, who missed the first to attend the birth of his child.

Mark Wood and James Anderson have also been rested with the pace trio of Stuart Broad, Sam Curran and Chris Woakes named in the playing 11.
"With both (Wood and Anderson) having come back from two very serious injuries, it seemed very high-risk to play them in this game," Root said.
"We're blessed with some fantastic players waiting in the wings. We've definitely got an attack that can take 20 wickets."
West Indies, who won the first Test in Southampton by four wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, named an unchanged team.
England (Playing XI): Rory Burns, Dominic Sibley, Zak Crawley, Joe Root(c), Ben Stokes, Ollie Pope, Jos Buttler(w), Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, Dominic Bess, Stuart Broad
West Indies (Playing XI): Kraigg Brathwaite, John Campbell, Shai Hope, Shamarh Brooks, Roston Chase, Jermaine Blackwood, Shane Dowrich(w), Jason Holder(c), Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Shannon Gabriel
