England Vs West Indies News

Comebacks should be better than the setback and Jos Buttler perhaps aimed to do so on Saturday after missing a majority of the summer. However, the outing wasn’t rosy for him as Gudakesh Motie’s outstanding grab removed him for a golden duck in the first T20I between England and West Indies.

Valiant endeavours from England’s lower-middle order, including fifties from Jamie Smith, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, and Chris Woakes, ensured England put West Indies at bay on Day 2. Having lost a couple of early wickets in the third session, the visitors trail by 61 runs at the end of the second day.

A valiant 71-run tenth wicket stand was eclipsed by the England top-order as the Three Lions lead by 207 runs on Stumps Day three. Ben Duckett’s fiery start followed by Ollie Pope’s fifty set up Joe Root and Harry Brook’s 100-run stand to keep the contest in balance at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

The ultimate aim of a sportsperson is to amuse the audience with stunning performances. Kevin Sinclair may not have been able to do so with the ball on the third day of the second Test between West Indies and England but he managed to entertain the crowd with a unique celebration after a catch.
