England v West Indies scorecard LIVE: Latest score from day-night Test at Edgbaston
Day-night Test cricket, complete with a bright pink ball, 2pm starts and floodlights after tea, has been played four times before. Three of those matches have taken place in Australia and one in Dubai, both places where Test attendances have been on the wain. West Indies have experience of the format having played against Pakistan in the UAE under the lights.

Alexis Sanchez hands Arsenal a boost by returning to first-team training ahead of Stoke clash
Arsenal have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their second Premier League game against Stoke City on Saturday (19 August) after star forward Alexis Sanchez returned to first-team training.

Arsene Wenger revealed that Saturday's game could come too soon for Sanchez, but the striker's desire to return to action looks to have trumped any caution aired by the medical team.
