England cricket team beat West Indies by a humongous 241 runs margin to not only win the Trent Bridge Test but also secure the three-game Test series with a 2-0 invincible lead.

The eventful Test match saw four centuries combined from both teams. A 385-run target in the fourth innings proved to be too steep for the visitors as Shoaib Bashir unleashed his talent to pick a maiden fifer on English.

Here’s the timeline of how ENG vs WI panned out at Trent Bridge:

ENG vs WI Highlights: Bazball Goes Berserk In First Innings

West Indies won the toss and invited England to bat first before openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley unleashed extraordinary fury. The duo recorded the fastest team 50 in red-ball cricket on English soil inside just 4.2 overs.


Duckett’s blistering fifty paved the way for Ollie Pope to capitalize on the set start and score a blistering century to steer England to 416 runs in the first innings.

ENG vs WI Highlights: Kavem Hodge Responds Strongly For West Indies!

Despite the daunting total, West Indies gave a tough fight to the mighty host. Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge stitched a 150+ runs partnership, with the latter bringing up his maiden Test century. The visitors were eventually bowled out with a 41-run lead, thus setting the stage for an exciting finish.

Meanwhile, England faced an early setback in Zak Crawley in the third-inning reply. However, Duckett and Pope got a 100-run partnership to guide the hosts to the driver’s seat. The final hammer was pushed by Joe Root and Harry Brook as the duo established their dominance to score a century each.

England finished with a 385 runs target for West Indies, which seemed implausible to achieve under the deteriorating conditions.

ENG vs WI Highlights: Shoaib Bashir’s Fifer Helps England Go 2-0 In Test Series

West Indies were undoubtedly put to chase on a backfoot. And the inexperienced lineup crumbled under pressure. Spinner Shoaib Bashir grabbed the pitch advantage well to claim his maiden five-wicket-haul on English soil. Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson also contributed with two wickets each as the Windies were bowled out for 143 runs.

With that, England have won the three-match Test series with a 2-0 lead. However, to whitewash the visitors, Ben Stokes and Co will take the field again in the third Test at Edgbaston from July 26 onwards.
