Ever since cricket resumed after the big break due to corona virus, the fans are presented with some top quality actions from top-tier cricketers. The 3-match test series between England and West Indies has been nothing short of spectacle for the cricket fans all over the world.
Watch: Ben Stokes slams a stunning six off Alzarri Joseph
During the 2nd day of the 2nd test, a funny incident took place when Shannon Gabriel missed to whip the bails which might have been the end of Stuart Broad. The Windies were already tired out by the marathon partnership between Ben Stokes and Dominic Sibley.
The hosts are in a commanding position, thanks to magnificent centuries from the most impactful player in the world in Ben Stokes and the new opening sensation Dominic Sibley. In the 159th over, England were 9 down and were looking for quick runs to increase the pace of the game so that they could have a bowl at the rusty Windies batters towards the end of the day.

When Dom Bess tried to pull one towards deep mid-wicket, he mistimed the pull and tried to steal a double but there wasn’t any on offer. What should have been an easy run out at the non-striker’s end, the comeback man, Stuart Broad survived as Shannon Gabriel messed up big time.
The moving day as they say is in all danger of getting washed out as rain may play a spoil-sport which will be a blessing in disguise for the visitors who are already 1-nil up. The pitch has enough demons already and conceding a big 1st innings score to England, Windies’ main aim will be to avoid follow-on at first place.
The start of 3rd day’s play has been delayed due to rain and the weather forecast is terrible for the day.
