Cricket is back but this certainly wasn't an endearing start that we were waiting for as only 106 balls were bowled on the first day of the first Test. But the excitement of the fans didn't diminish by a bit as the historic Test series marked the return of international cricket after 117 days.

And we can't wait to see them back on the field!

Cricket is back 😃Positive scenes coming out from UK. So good to finally see some cricket being played. Wishing both teams the best. Can’t wait to be out there myself 🤞 #EngVsWI

Not bragging but we at SportsCafe watch ball-by-ball action of non-India matches too😁😁

Finally, good to see Test cricket is back. Live and truly alive! Never watched ball by ball action of non-india matches but this is a historic match. Will be watching as much as I can 😁 #ENGvWI #EngvsWI pic.twitter.com/kyVnLkz8CY

Some cricket is better than no cricket

Like Pakistan, England should also be banned from hosting cricket matches anymore.

Shitty unpredictable weather spoiling Cricket. @ECB_cricket #ENGvWI #Cricket

Test cricket should be played under closed roof stadiums.

What do you think?

Wonderful gesture

Players and umpires took a knee before the start of play in support of the Black Lives Matter movement 👏👏👏👏👏👏#ENGvWI pic.twitter.com/kKRTEbN3Zz

This is Shahid Afridi in disguise

Kemar Roach, Shannon Gabriel, Aljhari Joseph, Mark Wood, Jofra Archer they all are hitting 90+ miles continuously but they are not good bowlers, because there name is not Shoib Akhtar or Wasim Akram. Also there are not a single world class bowler because Kohli is ruling.#ENGvWI
