DOM BESS has warned the West Indies: “When it spins, it will be my time to shine.”
Although he went wicketless on the final day as the Windies chiselled out a four-wicket win at the Ageas Bowl, Bess hopes he has done enough to keep his place for the second Test at Old Trafford which starts tomorrow.
The 22-year-old off-spinner has Somerset team-mate Jack Leach, all-rounder Moeen Ali and leg-break prospect Matt Parkinson for competition.
But if the pitch at Old Trafford offers turn, England are expected to give Bess another chance.
He said: “I know I went wicketless on the last day but it could have turned our way and the thing that I’m focusing on is how well it’s coming out at the moment. I do feel really dangerous and that’s a great place to be.
