SOUTHAMPTON, England (Reuters) - After a 117-day absence, international cricket returned in familiar fashion on Wednesday as rain delayed the first test between England and West Indies before the hosts lost Dom Sibley for 0 then reached 35-1 as bad light brought an early tea.
Much else about the occasion felt very different, as the match is being played in a "bio-secure environment" at Southampton's Ageas Bowl with daily health checks for everyone in the ground - with no fans present.
