West Indies vs England 2nd Test Highlights

We are back for the Windies' first innings! Joe Root and his men are out on the field. The Windies openers, Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell make their way out to the middle as well. Chris Woakes has the new red cherry in hand and is raring to go from the Malcolm Marshall end. Let's go...

... Second innings ...

West Indies will be a relieved team at the moment. They could have been staring down a total of way more than 507 but wickets in the middle session helped put a brake on the English onslaught. Kemar Roach was the outstanding bowler and picked up important wickets in the afternoon session as well in the post-Tea session. The pitch is still flat but the ball has started to turn with Veerasammy Permaul getting good purchase in the final session as he finished with 3 wickets. West Indies openers will have to lay down the marker and get themselves set so as to be able to counter the spin of Jack Leach later on. Early wickets will make things really tough for the hosts. The second innings of the Test match coming up in a bit.

Well, finally Joe Root has decided that they have enough runs on the board and England have declared with 507 runs on the board. After losing a wicket really early in the innings, the skipper Joe Root and Dan Lawrence put on a 164-run stand to give the English innings the impetus it needed on Day 1. On Day 2 it was all Ben Stokes as he hammered the Windies bowlers all around the park. The captain and vice-captain both made big centuries and Ben Foakes alongside Chris Woakes added additional runs to the total. England will now look to come out all guns blazing with the ball and all eyes will be on debutant Matthew Fisher and on how he bowls.

OUT! STUMPING! Joe Root calls their batters and that will be the end of England's innings. Tossed up, full and outside off, turn again. Leach comes down the track and looks to heave but misses and the ball sneaks through. Joshua Da Silva behind removes the bails easily. England declare their innings at 507/9.

Tossed up, on off. Defended out.

FOUR! Tossed up, outside off. Leack steps down and smashes it through covers for a boundary.

Around off, fuller and this is blocked out.

Flatter and spinning around middle. Leach looks to defend but misses and gets hit high on the pads.

Another spicy short ball, over middle again. Fisher does well to get his head under it in time.
