England vs West Indies: After Ben Stokes became the captain and Brendon McCullum became the coach, the attitude of the England team has changed a lot. When this team comes out to bat in Test cricket, the bowlers put pressure on the opposing team by attacking in a way that the bowlers do not expect. England has also benefited a lot from this kind of play.
The England team has once again made a big record in its name. After winning the first Test against the West Indies, now in the second Nottingham Test, England's batsmen have done such a feat which has happened for the first time in the 147-year history of Test cricket.
First fifty in 26 balls!
The England team crossed the 50-run mark in just 4.2 overs in the first innings of the second Test against West Indies. This is a world record. Earlier also this record was in the name of England. This team had crossed the 50-run mark in 4.3 overs against South Africa in 1994, but now after 30 years this team has broken its own record.
England had a bad start in batting in the Nottingham Test. This team lost its first wicket on the third ball of the first over. Opener Crowley was out on 0. After this, Ben Duckett along with Ollie Pope took the team's score beyond 50 in 23 balls.
Ollie Pope's century
Opener Ben Duckett scored his half-century in just 32 balls, which is his fastest half-century till date. The player registered a partnership of 106 runs with Ollie Pope, who was batting lightly. Ben Duckett was dismissed after scoring 71 runs off 59 balls. His wicket was taken by young fast bowler Shamar Joseph. Duckett hit a total of 14 fours during his innings. After this Ollie Pope completed his century. He scored 121 runs off 167 balls. Captain Ben Stokes scored 69 runs off 104 balls.
