Dropped twice, Stokes top scored for England with 43, but his side were bundled out for just 204 in tough conditions thanks to Holder's 6-42 and Shannon Gabriel's 4-62. Holder has 32 more Test matches worth of captaincy experience than Stokes, and it showed with his mastery of the review system and how he marshalled his bowlers. They went toe-to-toe for their first battle here and despite only bowling five overs in the warm up matches, the early honours belong to Holder. "Stokesy was looking quite set, we had put down two chances and he was looking to make us pay for them. With three inspired reviews that brought his team wickets, Holder had a far better day than the umpires who had five decisions overturned before Richard Illingworth got it right for Anderson and England's solitary wicket of John Campbell for 28.
