In the ongoing second Test match between England and West Indies at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, the Caribbean side showcased a remarkable fightback. After a shaky start, losing three wickets for just 84 runs in response to England’s 416, the visitors managed to post a formidable 457, securing a 41-run lead over the hosts.
At one point, West Indies were struggling at 386 for nine, and it appeared they might not cross the 400-run mark. However, Joshua Da Silva and tailender Shamar Joseph turned the game around with a remarkable display of resilience and skill.
The duo stitched together a crucial 71-run partnership for the 10th wicket, frustrating the England bowlers and extending West Indies’ innings significantly. Their stand not only helped the visitors surpass 400 but also put them in a strong position to challenge England.
During their partnership, Shamar grabbed the spotlight with a sensational six that caused quite a stir. The incident occurred during the 107th over, bowled by Gus Atkinson. Shamar launched a short-pitched delivery over square leg for a massive six. The ball soared high and landed on the roof of Trent Bridge, shattering the tiles into pieces. The fans had to quickly take cover as the broken tiles fell, narrowly avoiding injury.
