  • Player of the Match
    Ollie Pope
Right then, that wraps up the second Test of the 2024 Richards-Botham Trophy, where England registered a win by a massive margin of 241 runs to seal the series. While West Indies gave a tough fight, it was not enough to produce a favourable outcome but there were plenty of positives Kraigg Brathwaite and Co. will take into the next Test. The third and final Test of the series starts on Friday, 26th July at Edgbaston in Birmingham with the first ball to be bowled at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). As always, you can join us in advance for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
The captain of England, Ben Stokes says that the kind of comeback the boys showed was quite exceptional and Bashir showed the world the kind of ability he has on a surface that not necessarily favours spin. Appreciates Root and Brook for playing through those tough conditions and says that he felt they were a few runs short but with the pressure of chasing, 380 on the last day it gets really difficult. Talks about the conditions and how the batters need to adapt which showed in Ben Duckett's second innings. On Mark Wood, he says that the rhythm is back but he hasn't gotten rewards in this game but the ability to come back in and keep pushing the hard yards is exceptional. On Chris Woakes, he adds that that first wicket changed the game for them and he generally always delivers for the side.
Kraigg Brathwaite, the skipper of West Indies, says that they did not quite have the all-round performance and played well in patches. Further adds that the team lacks some discipline and England showed them the way one needs to bowl on such surfaces and it is certain that the boys will learn going ahead. Talks about the dropped catches and says that happens and they will need to keep doing it better and take care of the controllables. Concludes that Test cricket is never easy and they need to stay mentally tough and this is not the end of the world and they will keep fighting.
Ollie Pope is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliance with the bat across both innings. Starts by joking about Stokes walking off and the team getting those two wickets. Further says it was a good day at the office and he is happy with the win. Adds that when the lights came on the ball seemed to do a bit more last night. Appreciates Root and Brook for their outstanding effort and says it's important for the players to adapt to the surface. Concludes that he has put a lot of hard work into his game and he is happy with the way he has performed and will try to continue it.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
On the opening morning, West Indies won the toss and inserted England into bat. They were all over the place with their lines and lengths, allowing England to take full advantage. 'Bazball' was in full flow as Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope took the attack to the opposition. Pope dropped twice, on either side of the Lunch break, made West Indies pay with his 121-run knock. Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Jamie Smith and Chris Woakes all chipped in on what was a dominant day for England where they racked up 416.
With the ball, patience defined England's approach on Day 2. Rather than waiting for the Windies batters to falter, Ben Stokes used proactive captaincy to create opportunities. Three quick wickets before lunch suggested England might bowl out the West Indies by day's end, but a resilient 175-run partnership between Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge forced England to work hard. This was before Kraigg Brathwaite and Mikyle Louis weathered the initial challenge. Although Athanaze fell short of a century, Hodge capitalized on his second chance after being dropped on 16, achieving his maiden Test ton.
On Day 3, England came out all guns blazing, making the most of the overhead conditions. Chris Woakes led the attack as the pacers maintained tight lines, quickly taking four wickets in the first session. However, towards the end of the session, Joshua Da Silva stood firm at one end, receiving much-needed support from Shamar Joseph at the other. Together, they stitched a 71-run partnership, wiping out the deficit and helping their side take a 41-run lead. In reply, England had a brisk start but a change in the ball gave the West Indies a real burst of momentum, and they capitalized, dismissing both Duckett and Pope. Joe Root and Harry Brook then steadied the innings, building a partnership that pushed the lead to 207 runs by the end of Day 3.
Day 4 began with Joe Root and Harry Brook picking up where they left off on Day 3. The two Yorkshiremen respected the good balls while punishing the bad ones, navigating through the first hour with ease. After batting so well for his maiden Test hundred at home, a rash shot led to Brook's downfall. The West Indies pounced on this opening, ending the session on a high with a couple more wickets to keep themselves in the game.
The second session saw West Indies chip away at the wickets with the second new ball. Joe Root, undeterred by the fall of wickets at the other end, carried on his merry way to bring up his 32nd Test ton. On a surface where picking wickets was anything but easy, Jayden Seales bowled his heart out to finish with a richly deserved four-wicket haul. England, who at one stage, were on course to end up with a lead above 400, lost their last 7 wickets for 96 runs to end up with a lead of 384 runs.
In pursuit of 385 runs, it was yet another encouraging start with the bat by the West Indies. One may argue, though, that the new ball pairing of Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson did not bowl full enough to induce the false shot, and the argument is not wrong. Take nothing away from the two Windies openers, though, as Kraigg Brathwaite and Mikyle Louis applied themselves well to keep the English pacers at bay. It was not just block, block, block as the two openers scored at 4.69 runs per over to end the first hour after Tea at 61/0.
An hour into this extended final session, with West Indies well placed at 61/0, not many thought the Test would not go into Day 5 but what followed was a swift collapse triggered by Chris Woakes nicking Mikyle Louis off. Once the door was open, Woakes and Shoaib Bashir helped England barge through. From 61/0, West Indies slumped to 91/6 in the blink of an eye as Woakes and Bashir blew them away. Jason Holder and Joshua Da Silva stitched a good little stand but just as the stand was flourishing, Gus Atkinson, who was brought back into the attack, answered his skipper's call by picking two in an over. Shoaib Bashir then completed the formalities to end with figures of 11.1-2-41-5.
ENGLAND CLAIM THE 2024 RICHARDS-BOTHAM TROPHY! Ben Stokes and his men script a remarkable turnaround to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in this three-match series. Shoaib Bashir proudly holds the ball aloft as he leads the England team off the field. A memorable day for Bashir, who not only got his first five-wicket haul in Tests at home but also became the first spinner to take 5 wickets in a Trent Bridge Test since Muttiah Muralitharan in 2006. As for West Indies, what unravelled in the third session is something they want to forget quickly but it takes nothing away from the fight shown by them over the 4 days of this Test.

Shoaib Bashir To Shamar Joseph OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Shoaib Bashir sneaks through to get his five-fer! It has been exceptional spin bowling from Bashir, and he thoroughly deserves the credit. Coming from around the wicket, he bowls an arm ball, straight and full, targeting the stumps. Shamar Joseph steps out, aiming for a big slog across the line. The ball stays straight and sneaks through the huge gap between bat and pad, rattling the middle pole. England win this game by a mammoth 241-run margin.

Atkinson comes from over the wicket and lands it on a good length around off and angles it into the right-hander. The ball skids off the surface and gets through as Joshua Da Silva looks to play it across the line and misses. The ball pings him on the front pad. The replays roll in and the UltraEdge confirms there was no bat involved. The Ball Tracking then shows that the impact is in line and the pitching is fine. The ball was clipping the top of middle and is umpire's call. Hence the onfied call of OUT stays.

Mark Wood To Kevin Sinclair OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! What an absolute ripper of a delivery by Wood to send back Kevin Sinclair. End of a shaky outing for Sinclair at the crease. Wood steams in from over the wicket, bends his back and rips the dust off the deck on a shorter length over middle. Kevin Sinclair is hurried by the sheer pace of it and he sticks out his bat trying to keep it out. The ball shoots off the deck and catches the strap of his left glove before lobbing behind the stumps to second slip where Zak Crawley grabs a simple catch. Kevin Sinclair takes the review while grimacing in pain and immediately asks for medical attention. The UltraEdge confirms that the ball came off the wristband of the left glove. Wood has his first as West Indies slip further down and are reeling in this chase at 91/6.
Taken at second slip! England go up in appeal and up goes the finger. Kevin Sinclair takes the review straight away and gestures that it has come off the forearm. However, the replays show that the ball brushes the wrist band of the glove before it goes on to hit the forearm. The UltraEdge confirms the same and the original OUT decision is upheld.

Shoaib Bashir To Kavem Hodge OUT!
OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! As plumb as it could get! The Woakes-Bashir pair is doing the job for England! 120 in the first inning but a duck in the second inning for Hodge. Bashir drags his length back and pushes it through on a flatter trajectory, on middle, not that short to go on the back foot but Kavem Hodge misreads the length somewhat. Goes back in his crease to work it across the line. Plays all around it as the ball sneaks past the inside edge to trap Hodge right in front of the stumps. Hodge knows he is a goner and does not even bother to review.

Chris Woakes To Kraigg Brathwaite OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There's the edge once again! After a bright start by West Indies, England are fighting back. From 61/0, West Indies have slipped to 74/3. Woakes pitches it in the channel on off, on a short of a good length, Kraigg Brathwaite hangs on the back foot to play the line of the ball. The ball lands on the seam and goes away, enough to induce an outside edge and it goes through to the keeper, Jamie Smith who takes the easiest of catches.

Chris Woakes To Mikyle Louis OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The break in play does it for England! Mikyle Louis who was batting so well, throws his head back in disappointment on nicking it behind. Woakes begins from over the wicket and lands it in around the sixth stump line, on a nagging length. Louis shuffles across a bit and has a slight poke at the delivery. The ball nips away enough to catch the outside edge and the keeper, Jamie Smith gobbles it, diving away to his right. Mikyle Louis when he looks back at the dismissal will think that he was better off leaving the ball. End of a 61-run opening stand as Louis falls for 17.
Drinks! It has certainly been an engrossing hour of play in this final session of the day. England's pacers have consistently hit that hard length and line, but despite beating both edges of the bat consistently, they are yet to secure the breakthrough they’re seeking. Kraigg Brathwaite and Mikyle Louis have successfully navigated the challenging first half, where the ball exhibited variable bounce. The openers will aim to maintain their resilience and see off the remaining period without any casualties. Meanwhile, England will remain optimistic, sensing a breakthrough if they continue to persist with those tight lines and lengths. With 35 overs left in the day, it's unlikely we will get through all of them, but the remaining play promises to be intense.

A big shout for LBW but there seemed to be two noises and the umpire turns it down! Ben Stokes indicates that Louis has gotten an inside edge and does not take the review. Oh, guess what? The noises were of the ball hitting the front pad first and then the back pad. Over to Ball Tracking now. Luckily for England and Ben Stokes, the ball is doing too much and it is going past the leg pole. Full and nipping back in to Louis, on middle. Mikyle Louis looks to keep it out with a straight bat but gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball brushes the front pad first and then goes on to make contact with the back pad.
