| 0.3 : 0.3: Alzarri Joseph to Zak Crawley, OUT CAUGHT! What a perfect start this has been for West Indies! Zak Crawley has to walk back for a duck! |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Top, top shot to get things underway for England and Ollie Pope! Too full this time from Alzarri Joseph, onto the stumps, Ollie Pope times his straight drive to perfection sending the ball past mid on for a nice-looking boundary. England at 4/1 after the first over! |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Not the ideal start from Jayden Seales as he offers a freebie to Ben Duckett who gets off the mark in some style. Too full and outside off, Duckett just leans on it and crisps his drive through covers for a boundary. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Easy pickings! Jayden Seales drags the length short but offers a lot of width outside off. Ben Duckett rocks back in a flash and cuts it through point this time for back-to-back boundaries. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Comes from around the wicket but it doesn't change the outcome for Jayden Seales as Ben Duckett sends it to the boundary on the other side! Too full and angling into the stumps, Ben Duckett flicks it beautifully past mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, Four! |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Runs flowing thick and fast for England since that first over! This is short of a length and outside off, Ollie Pope quickly transfers his weight back and cuts it well past gully for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Timed to perfection! On a good length angled into the pads, Ollie Pope brings his bottom hand into play and flicks it beautifully to the left of square leg for another boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, FOUR! The third consecutive boundary for England! Jayden Seales bangs it on a shorter length but gives width outside off, Ben Duckett rocks back and just times his cut past point for a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Guided it well! On a shorter length outside off, Ben Duckett waits back and steers it well past gully for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Alzarri Joseph to Ben Duckett, Four! |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Alzarri Joseph to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Another one! Short of a length angled into the batter, Ben Duckett slaps it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 7.4: Jason Holder to Ben Duckett, FOUR! A loosener from Jason Holder and Ben Duckett cashes in! Too full and outside off, Ben Duckett crisps his drive through cover for a boundary. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Jason Holder to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Even the slightest of errors in line and lengths are proving to be costly for West Indies! Too full and on off, Ben Duckett drives it beautifully past mid on for a boundary to end the over. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: Jason Holder to Ben Duckett, FOUR! FIFTY for Ben Duckett off just 32 deliveries! Jason Holder bowls this outside off and on a shorter length, Ben Duckett opens his bat face enough and cuts this one through the gap between gully and point for four runs. Third fastest fifty for England in Test cricket with the fastest being off 28 balls by Ian Botham. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Cuts it through with extreme precision! On a length and on top of off, Ollie Pope waits deep in the crease and cuts it past gully for a boundary. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Jason Holder to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Comes from around the wicket and serves a fuller-length delivery with too much width outside off, Ben Duckett gets low in his stance and times his drive through covers for a boundary. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Kevin Sinclair to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Risky but effective! Looped up, on a fullish length, on off, Ben Duckett gets a big stride in as he reaches out and takes it on the full. Sweeps it all along the ground and beats Jayden Seales in the deep who slid to his right but failed to cut it off. The 100-run stand comes up between these two batters! |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Shamar Joseph to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Slightest of width and Ben Duckett is all over it! |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Shamar Joseph to Ben Duckett, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Shamar Joseph gets the reward for his persistence! |
| 20.4 : 20.4: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Nicely done! Fractionally short, outside off, Ollie Pope is quick to hop back and get into the position. Drags the pull through square leg for a boundary. |
| 20.5 : 20.5: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, SIX! Oh, hello! Where did that come from? |
| 23.6 : 23.6: Jayden Seales to Joe Root, FOUR! Lovely shot! Seales overcooks as he serves a juicy half volley, on middle, Joe Root stays balanced in the crease and clips it through mid-wicket. Root gets his first boundary after 16 balls. |
| 24.4 : 24.4: Alzarri Joseph to Joe Root, FOUR! Short and punished! Joseph tries to go short but this is not short enough, outside off, Joe Root has to wait a bit for the ball to arrive due to the slowness of the surface before pulling it in front of square on the leg side for a boundary. |
| 28.4: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Gets it through! |
| 29.3 : 29.3: Jayden Seales to Joe Root, OUT! c Alzarri Joseph b Jayden Seales. |
| 30.6 : 30.6: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Poor delivery and duly punished! |
| 31.1 : 31.1: Jayden Seales to Harry Brook, FOUR! Nowhere in control and Brook gets lucky! |
| 31.2 : 31.2: Jayden Seales to Harry Brook, Four! |
| 32.4 : 32.4: Alzarri Joseph to Harry Brook, FOUR! Shot! Hit with real authority! Joseph errs in line as he serves it wide outside off, on a length, Harry Brook frees his arms and cracks the drive through covers for a boundary. |
| 32.5 : 32.5: Alzarri Joseph to Harry Brook, FOUR! Class written all over this one! |
| 32.6 : 32.6: Alzarri Joseph to Harry Brook, FOUR! Make that a hat-trick of fours! A nothing delivery by Joseph as this is short but no real pace or bounce on it to trouble the batter. Harry Brook gets his weight on the back foot and glides it between gully and backward point for four more runs. |
| 33.4 : 33.4: Jayden Seales to Ollie Pope, FOUR! On another day, that would have crashed onto the stumps! Ollie Pope is living a charmed life here. |
| 33.5 : 33.5: Jayden Seales to Ollie Pope, Four! |
| 35.6 : 35.6: Shamar Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Gets enough on it! Shamar Joseph errs in line and sprays this fuller-length delivery into middle and leg, Ollie Pope glances it fine for a boundary to end the over. |
| 36.2 : 36.2: Alzarri Joseph to Harry Brook, SIX! Cracking shot! Alzarri Joseph bends his back and digs it in short. This is not a bad delivery by any means. In the channel on off, on a shortish length, Harry Brook does not have much room to work with but he arches back and creates the room. Gets on top of the bounce nicely and slaps it over the deep backward point fence for a six. |
| 41.2: Kevin Sinclair to Harry Brook, OUT! c Kirk Mckenzie b Kevin Sinclair. |
| 42.2: Jason Holder to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Errs in line and Ollie Pope makes full use of it! Too full and into the pads, Ollie Pope flicks it well through the square leg region for a boundary. |
| 44.1 : 44.1: Jason Holder to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Gets it through the gap beautifully! Jason Holder serves this juicy half-volley outside off, Ollie Pope leans ahead and creams it through covers for a boundary. |
| 45.5 : 45.5: Kevin Sinclair to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Errs in line for once and pays the price! Bowls it down leg, on a fuller length, Ollie Pope gets low on a knee and sweeps it fine past the keeper for a boundary. |
| 46.2 : 46.2: Jayden Seales to Ollie Pope, Four! |
| 48.5 : 48.5: Jayden Seales to Ben Stokes, Four! |
| 53.2 : 53.2: Alzarri Joseph to Ben Stokes, FOUR! Change of ends hasn't quite worked well as Alzarri Joseph bowls another freebie! Too full and outside off, asking to be hit. Ben Stokes leans on and drives it well past point for a boundary. |
| 53.4 : 53.4: Alzarri Joseph to Ben Stokes, FOUR! Two in the over for Ben Stokes! Alzarri Joseph digs it short and over middle, Ben Stokes swivels in the crease and pulls it all along the ground to deep backward square leg fence for a boundary. |

| 55.3: Alzarri Joseph to Ben Stokes, Four! |
| 57.1 : 57.1: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Alzarri Joseph gets the big, big wicket of Ollie Pope! |
| 57.5 : 57.5: Alzarri Joseph to Ben Stokes, FOUR! Beautiful shot! On a back of a length over middle, Ben Stokes is quick on getting on the backfoot and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 58.3 : 58.3: Kevin Sinclair to Ben Stokes, Four! |
| 60.1 : 60.1: Jayden Seales to Ben Stokes, Four! |
| 60.6 : 60.6: Jayden Seales to Jamie Smith, Four! |
| 68.3 : 68.3: Jason Holder to Ben Stokes, FOUR! Nice shot! Holder digs it short outside off, Ben Stokes swivels and pulls it firmly through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 69.6 : 69.6: Kavem Hodge to Jamie Smith, SIX! Sheer power behind that! |
| 71.2 : 71.2: Kavem Hodge to Ben Stokes, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Maiden Test wicket for Kavem Hodge and it is the big one of Ben Stokes! The English skipper could not have picked the fielder out there in the deep any better. |
| 74.5 : 74.5: Jason Holder to Jamie Smith, FOUR! Creamed away! |
| 77.3 : 77.3: Kavem Hodge to Jamie Smith, SIX! Clean strike! |
| 77.4 : 77.4: Kavem Hodge to Jamie Smith, OUT! c Jason Holder b Kavem Hodge. |
| 78.4: Kevin Sinclair to Gus Atkinson, OUT! c Kavem Hodge b Kevin Sinclair. |
| 84.2 : 84.2: Kevin Sinclair to Chris Woakes, FOUR! Good use of the feet! Sinclair floats it up, full and on off, Chris Woakes shimmies down the track and times the drive to the right of Jason Holder at mid off for a boundary. |
| 86.1 : 86.1: Alzarri Joseph to Chris Woakes, FOUR! Too straight and these are easy pickings! |
| 87.1: Jayden Seales to Chris Woakes, FOUR! Neatly done! Jayden Seales sprays it on the pads and it is full in length, Chris Woakes stays balanced in the crease and with a still head, clips it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 87.2 : 87.2: Jayden Seales to Chris Woakes, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jayden Seales gets his line and length right this time and he gets the reward! |
| 88.2: Alzarri Joseph to Shoaib Bashir, FOUR! Edged away! Alzarri Joseph delivers it on a hard length, tighter line, on off and middle, Shoaib Bashir gets on his toes and shows the full face of the bat to cover the line of the ball. Gets an outside edge that flies towards gully and it beats Alick Athanaze to his right for a boundary. |
| 88.3 : 88.3: Alzarri Joseph to Shoaib Bashir, OUT! CAUGHT! The outside edge goes to hand this time! Alzarri Joseph wraps up the England innings! Alzarri Joseph hurls it in, on a nagging length, on off, Shoaib Bashir stays on the back foot and hops to get on top of the bounce. Looks to defend it out with a straight bat but gets an outside edge again. It goes low but straight into the hands of second slip where Jason Holder is expecting the edge and he stays low to grab it low in front. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Chris Woakes to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR! First boundary of this West Indian inning and they are underway! Woakes overpitches this time, and keeps it around off, Kraigg Brathwaite plants his front foot, gets in the line and creams it past the cover-point gap for a beautiful boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Gus Atkinson to Kraigg Brathwaite, Four! |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Chris Woakes to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR! Four more! |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Gus Atkinson to Mikyle Louis, FOUR! Exquisite! |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Chris Woakes to Kraigg Brathwaite, Four! |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Shoaib Bashir to Kraigg Brathwaite, Four! |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Shoaib Bashir to Mikyle Louis, FOUR! That's a hack, which has come out nowhere. But it results in being profitable for West Indies, raising their 50-RUN OPENING STAND. Stokes and Bashir will be very happy looking at that shot. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Shoaib Bashir to Mikyle Louis, OUT! CAUGHT! And that's exactly why Stokes and Bashir would have been happy with the previous shot. Shoaib Bashir has his first Test wicket on English soil. Mikyle Louis departs for 21 (41), West Indies are 53/1 and trail by 363. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Mark Wood to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR! Not a bad ball at all. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Gus Atkinson to Kirk Mckenzie, Four! |
| 18.2: Shoaib Bashir to Kraigg Brathwaite, Four! |
| 19.2: Gus Atkinson to Kraigg Brathwaite, Four! |
| 21.3 : 21.3: Gus Atkinson to Kraigg Brathwaite, OUT! TAKEN! Brilliant planning and spot on execution from Gus Atkinson! A barrage of bumpers and Kraigg Brathwaite couldn't negotiate well on this one. |
| 23.4 : 23.4: Gus Atkinson to Kirk Mckenzie, Four! |
| 24.3 : 24.3: Shoaib Bashir to Kirk Mckenzie, OUT! IN THE AIR...TAKEN! A bad shot selection and he pays the price! Bashir gets his second scalp and is overjoyed! |
| 24.6 : 24.6: Shoaib Bashir to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! Shot! Drags his length does Bashir. Short and outside off, Alick Athanaze pounces on the width offered and cuts it crisply through backward point for a boundary. |
| 27.2 : 27.2: Chris Woakes to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! Gloriously driven! A gentle paced ball from Woakes, outside off on a fuller length, Alick Athanaze is upright and follows the line before punching it through covers for a boundary. |
| 27.6 : 27.6: Chris Woakes to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! Bread and butter for any southpaw! |
| 33.5 : 33.5: Chris Woakes to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! Just a fraction too overpitched by Woakes, trying to get the ball away from the left-hander. Athanaze is ready for it. Comes forward and drives it sweetly through the covers. |
| 36.5: Shoaib Bashir to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! JUST WIDE! Almost the fielding change made an instant impact. Just before this ball, Ben Stokes got Ben Duckett to stand at silly mid on for the aerial on drive. Bashir loops it up, on middle and leg and Alick Athanaze obliges. Hammers the drive down the ground and Duckett has a fraction of a second to react. He barely manages to look up but before that, the ball is past him to the long on fence. |
| 36.6 : 36.6: Shoaib Bashir to Alick Athanaze, Four! |
| 37.4 : 37.4: Chris Woakes to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! WHOOSH! Woakes throws the bait and Hodge accepts. |
| 39.3 : 39.3: Mark Wood to Alick Athanaze, Four! |
| 39.6 : 39.6: Mark Wood to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! FIFTY FOR ALICK ATHANAZE! In 52 balls. A pretty responsible innings from him thus far. Can he carry on? |
| 41.6: Mark Wood to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Short and at a good height, on the body, Kavem Hodge stands tall, simply pulls it along the carpet for a boundary. Ben Duckett probably ran the other way and by the time he realised, it was just too late to chase it down at deep mid-wicket. |
| 42.1 : 42.1: Shoaib Bashir to Alick Athanaze, FOUR! Aggressive approach! Tossed up, on off, Alick Athanaze gets his bat underneath walking a couple of steps. He lifts it over the inner ring above mid on and scores a boundary. |
| 42.3 : 42.3: Shoaib Bashir to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Brilliant shot! That shade fuller length, turning in from outside off, Kavem Hodge reads it well, sits down on a knee and pulls it along the ground through the vacant backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 43.4 : 43.4: Mark Wood to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Just out of the reach of Jamie Smith's dive! |
| 44.3 : 44.3: Gus Atkinson to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Takes on the short ball firmly! |
| 46.2 : 46.2: Gus Atkinson to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! He has been very productive with those pull shots! |
| 47.3 : 47.3: Mark Wood to Alick Athanaze, No ball and Four! |
| 48.2 : 48.2: Gus Atkinson to Kavem Hodge, Four! |
| 48.4 : 48.4: Gus Atkinson to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Another half centurion in the West Indian camp! This has been a wonderful knock from Hodge! His second Test half century! |
| 50.5 : 50.5: Shoaib Bashir to Alick Athanaze, SIX! ADMONISHED! What's up with West Indians and attacking before a break? |
| 51.3 : 51.3: Ben Stokes to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! A bit too straight, on a length, Hodge just gets outside the line and nicely tucks it to the fine leg fence. |
| 54.2 : 54.2: Shoaib Bashir to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Good, firm strike down the ground. Tossed up, outside off, Kavem Hodge comes down the track and smashes it over the bowler. Mid off is up and wide and the ball races to the fence. |
| 54.6 : 54.6: Shoaib Bashir to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Good effort by Chris Woakes but in vain. Dropped short by Bashir, Hodge rocks back and pulls it through mid-wicket. Woakes gives it a good chase from deep square leg, gets to the ball, puts in a dive and tries to haul it back in but misses. |
| 56.3 : 56.3: Shoaib Bashir to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Beautiful touch by Hodge. Landed outside off, fractionally shorter than full, Kavem goes back, opens the face of his bat and guides it deftly off the keeper's gloves, through deep third. |
| 56.6 : 56.6: Shoaib Bashir to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! It is another good shot. Fractionally short outside off, Kavem Hodge goes back and cuts it through point to find the fence for the second time in this over. |
| 58.5 : 58.5: Shoaib Bashir to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! Hodge is growing in confidence here. In fact, he has overtaken Athanaze. The moment he sees anything short, Hodge pounces onto it in a flash. This is a long hop, on middle, Kavem Hodge rocks back and pulls it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 61.1 : 61.1: Ben Stokes to Alick Athanaze, OUT! c Harry Brook b Ben Stokes. |
| 61.2 : 61.2: Ben Stokes to Jason Holder, Four! |
| 61.5 : 61.5: Ben Stokes to Jason Holder, FOUR! Just over! |
| 62.2 : 62.2: Mark Wood to Kavem Hodge, Four! |
| 65.1 : 65.1: Ben Stokes to Kavem Hodge, Four! |
| 65.4 : 65.4: Ben Stokes to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! 'WOOHOOOOOOO!' No, I am not a West Indian supporter or anything, but that was the reaction by Kavem Hodge on playing that shot. MAIDEN TEST HUNDRED! And he deserves the celebration. Stokes pitches it full, aiming to move the ball but it does nothing. Hodge pushes this through mid off, thinks about the single but he has hit it better than he imagined. Mid off is not even in the picture and the ball races away to the long off fence! The helmet comes off and |
| 67.5 : 67.5: Ben Stokes to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! AUDACIOUS! His back foot play has been exceptional today. Stokes misses his mark by just a fraction, drops it short and Hodge is quick to pounce on it. Rocks back and pulls it over wide mid on. The stand moves to 32 from 40 balls. |
| 73.4 : 73.4: Mark Wood to Kavem Hodge, FOUR! A sudden mute in the crowd as it races away to the fence! Wood hurls it with seam pointing towards the first slip, on a length, but outside off, Kavem Hodge plays it to his strength and punches it through covers for a boundary. Also, this brings up 300 for the West Indies. They are 114 runs behind. |
| 74.4: Chris Woakes to Kavem Hodge, OUT! A huge confident shout for LBW, but reviewed straight away by Hodge as the umpire raises his finger. Woakes bowls it with a scrambled seam, pitching on a length, around off, and angling on the middle and leg. Kavem Hodge is rooted in the crease as his feet go nowhere and looks to defend it. The ball is quick and skids through faster. Hodge is a bit late to bring the bat down and hence, wears it on the thigh pad around the knee roll, getting trapped in fro |
| 74.5 : 74.5: Chris Woakes to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Hmm, that's some fashion to get off the mark! Pitched up and full, around off from Woakes, Joshua Da Silva taps his front foot ahead and drives it firmly down the ground past the right of mid off for a boundary. |
| 75.5: Gus Atkinson to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Not exactly where he intended to hit but gets away. Full and outside the off stump. Da Silva is drawn forward and he pushes away from the body. The ball flies off the outside edge and beats Harry Brook diving across at third slip. Races away to the fence. |
| 75.6 : 75.6: Gus Atkinson to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Nicely pulled away! |
| 78.3 : 78.3: Chris Woakes to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Into the gap and it races away! This time Woakes bowls an outswinger, but way outside off, on a length. Joshua Da Silva gets a good bounce to cut it through the two fielders at deep backward point for a boundary. A long chase for Duckett but the ball has got enough wheels to breach into the fence. |
| 80.4 : 80.4: Ben Stokes to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Driven away nicely! |
| 81.5 : 81.5: Gus Atkinson to Jason Holder, FOUR! That set up nicely for Holder! Short in length, and outside off, Jason Holder climbs on the bounce and comfortably pulls it in front of square for a boundary towards deep mid-wicket. |
| 82.1 : 82.1: Ben Stokes to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Gracious drive from Da Silva! Outside off from Stokes on a fullish length, Joshua Da Silva transfers the weight on the front foot and drives it past the covers for a picturesque boundary.  |
| 83.4 : 83.4: Gus Atkinson to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Pulled away! Could've been a better effort from Pope in the deep there. |
| 84.6 : 84.6: Chris Woakes to Jason Holder, Four! |
| 86.3 : 86.3: Chris Woakes to Jason Holder, OUT! CAUGHT! Chris Woakes has achieved the early breakthrough that England were looking for! Comes from over the wicket and bowls it nice and full on a tight length around off. The ball just nibbles away a touch off the surface. Jason Holder looks to block it with a straight bat but plays it inside the line of the ball to get a feather of an outside edge straight into the mitts of Jamie Smith behind the stumps. |
| 89.6 : 89.6: Gus Atkinson to Kevin Sinclair, OUT! c Harry Brook b Gus Atkinson. |
| 90.5 : 90.5: Chris Woakes to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR! Wow, what a shot to get off the mark! Too full from Woakes into the pads, Alzarri Joseph with a good head position, flicks it well through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 98.4 : 98.4: Chris Woakes to Alzarri Joseph, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Not the best of deliveries by Chris Woakes but he won't complain! A horrible shot by Alzarri Joseph and he pays the ultimate price. |
| 98.5 : 98.5: Chris Woakes to Jayden Seales, OUT! CASTLED! A top delivery by Chris Woakes! As all coaches say 'Always target the top of the off stump' and Woakes has made his coach proud by doing just that. Two in two for Woakes and he is on a hat-trick now. |
| 98.5: Chris Woakes to Jayden Seales, OUT! CASTLED! A top delivery by Chris Woakes! As all coaches say 'Always target the top of the off stump' and Woakes has made his coach proud by doing just that. Two in two for Woakes and he is on a hat-trick now. Woakes stays over the wicket and lands it on a length, on off, Jayden Seales extends his hands to cover the line of the ball but plays outside the line of the ball. The ball nips back in off the deck to beat Seales on the inside edge. Goes through |
| 101.6 : 101.6: Mark Wood to Joshua Da Silva, SIX! WOW! What a shot to get to FIFTY! |
| 102.5 : 102.5: Chris Woakes to Shamar Joseph, FOUR! Nicely played! Woakes serves it full with an upright seam, outside off, Shamar Joseph picks the line and length early. Extends his hands into the shot and swings cleanly to loft it over mid off for a boundary. Deficit down to 18 now. |
| 103.5: Mark Wood to Joshua Da Silva, SIX! Not exactly where he intended but Joshua Da Silva won't mind one bit! 400 comes up for West Indies and they now trail by 12 runs! |
| 104.1 : 104.1: Gus Atkinson to Shamar Joseph, FOUR! What a shot this from Shamar Joseph! |
| 106.2 : 106.2: Gus Atkinson to Shamar Joseph, SIX! BOOM! Hit with real authority! West Indies have achieved PARITY! Gus Atkinson goes into the wicket but this sits up nicely for the batter. Shamar Joseph stands tall, swivels and nails the pull over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 106.4 : 106.4: Gus Atkinson to Shamar Joseph, SIX! BANG! Shamar Joseph has left its mark on Trent Bridge! As clean a strike as it can get. West Indies lead by 6 runs now. |
| 106.5 : 106.5: Gus Atkinson to Shamar Joseph, Four! |
| 109.5: Shoaib Bashir to Shamar Joseph, FOUR! Too straight and these are easy pickings for Shamar Joseph! |
| 110.3 : 110.3: Joe Root to Joshua Da Silva, Four! |
| 110.4 : 110.4: Joe Root to Joshua Da Silva, Four! |
| 110.5 : 110.5: Joe Root to Joshua Da Silva, FOUR! Joshua Da Silva is just toying with Root! Root slips in a low full toss, on middle and leg, Joshua Da Silva does not miss out as he sweeps it in front of square this time to pick up four more runs. |
| 110.6 : 110.6: Joe Root to Joshua Da Silva, Six! |
| 111.2 : 111.2: Mark Wood to Shamar Joseph, Four! |
| 111.5 : 111.5: Mark Wood to Shamar Joseph, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The fun is over for Shamar Joseph! Joshua Da Silva is down on his haunches at the other end. Ben Stokes and England are relieved. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, FOUR! A loosener first up by Jayden Seales and he gets punished! Too full and too straight, on the pads, Ben Duckett stays balanced in the crease and with a still head, clips it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Jayden Seales to Ben Duckett, OUT! RUN OUT! Did Seales get a touch on that? Half a shout by the West Indies players and it is referred upstairs. Zak Crawley does not look confident as he walks up to his partner. |
| 2.4: Alzarri Joseph to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Width on offer and Pope cashes in! |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Jayden Seales to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Classy shot! |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Jayden Seales to Ollie Pope, FOUR! Asking to be hit and Pope obliges! Seales overcompensates as he pulls his length back but it is too short, outside off, Ollie Pope reaches out and cuts it behind square on the off side for four more runs. |
