The wicket prepared for the match hardly helped any spin bowler during the entire Test match, but he showed what he is capable of today. Stokes further said about the match- After this victory, we should not forget the kind of partnership Harry Brook and Joe Root made when the ball was moving a lot. Today we played well, and honestly, we could have taken the lead in the first innings, because chasing a target like 380 runs in the fourth innings is not easy.

However, in the match being played at Trent Bridge Nottingham, West Indies’ innings could have been limited to 386/9, but the Caribbean team’s number 11 batsman Shamar Joseph played an aggressive brand of cricket, due to which West Indies took the lead over England for the first time in the match. At the same time, Stokes’ decision was also strongly criticized by former cricketer Michael Vaughan. On the third day of the second Test match between England and West Indies, Joshua led the team in batting, but the English fast bowlers’ target in the match was to take the wicket of tailender Shamar Joseph.

Woakes further said- You don’t always expect that the number 11 batsman will play some balls in the stands. It was a good game for them, that they played good cricket. We bowled according to our plan for a long time and in the end we got the result.
