West Indies batted brilliantly in the first innings of the second Test between West Indies and England.Perhaps their innings was a wake-up call to their fans that they could win or draw the second Test match against England.But no we saw an exceptional batting performance from them in the second innings which was a poor performance to say the least. West Indies managed to score only 143 runs in their second innings. England's young spin bowler Shoaib Bashir single-handedly stymied all the West Indies' batsmen in their second innings. He achieved the feat of taking five wickets in that match, perhaps the first five-wicket haul in his Test career. Due to his outstanding performance in both innings of the second Test match, Ollie Pope was selected as Man of the Match. The England team took the Test series with one match in hand.
The West Indies led by 41 runs in the first innings but were then beaten by 241 runs. Although three wickets fell to make 84 runs in the first innings, the Athanaze and Kavem Hodge partnership helped West Indies to collect big in the first innings. Among the top order batsmen of the two teams, the performance of England batsmen was ahead in this match, but in the case of West Indies, the top order batsmen did not show performance in both the innings. Talking about the second innings, West Indies put in a cheap performance. In the second innings Mikyle Louis and Brathwaite put on 66 runs in the opening partnership, when Mikyle got out, the procession of wickets started. England used only four bowlers in the second innings and the bowlers bowled brilliantly, especially Shoaib Bashir. West Indies need to work harder and bat patiently if they can hope for anything in the third Test.

If we talk about their first inning in the first inning both the teams have work hard and struggled with good performance. But West Indies were not expect to work harder than England in the first innings to score runs. But West Indies perform well and surpassed England perform. But West Indies will be weak in the second innings. And the England team will win this match by 241 runs. If seen West Indies are gradually work hard and struggling with good perform and trying to win the match. But he is not able to win the match. There was pressure from the England team in the second innings. Due to which West Indies could not achieve the target. Had she perform like the first England she could have easily won the match. But England is not a weak team either. Who loses the match so easily. If West Indies work hard and struggle they can lose the match to England. So they should work hard and struggle to beat England in the next match.

Only one test match has left in the series between England and West Indies. This series has been won already by the England team and no match won by the West Indies but there are still chances for the West Indies team to maintain their respect by winning the last match and they could win it if they are willing to focus and dedication.
They have to remember the Australia series that how they gave defeat to the Australian team with full struggle. There is feeling to me that they will win this last match and will have something to celebrate in this series. This is a time for them to change the history as they changed in Australia. Let's hope for a more close fight between the two teams in this final test.
And for the England, Ollie Pope: England aiming to become 'more and more ruthless'
This match could be go anywhere, maybe West Indies could win this or England. The two days after this day and as we have seen West Indies can make more than 400 so this time, England is also in danger (only if WI can repeat their performance).
I was expecting some good results from west indies as because they have shown really good performance in his previous innings and I taught may be it will be drawn results or may be west indies victory because they have to just chased 350 around run in 800+ balls which wasn't looking impossible if they has repeat his previous innings performance but in matter of minutes they thrown away all of his important wickets against a single spinner and out of no where England make a comeback after brutally exposing thier batting order to be honest I am still in shock because till 60 they hasn't lose a single wickets and then suddenly lose entire match 😂lol. Anyway a big congratulations to England for thier important victory hope West Indies will improve more with passage of time 
No matter how good Shoaib Bashir is, I don't think he will be able to perform well in sub-continental pitches against teams such as India and Pakistan. England really needs someone who can be effective in Indian pitches. Jack Leach doesn't have that quality and the same goes for both Shoaib Bashir and Rehan Ahmed. But then I don't want to deny the fact that Bashir and Ahmed are both young and there is a lot of scope for improvement. Bashir is 20, while Rehan is just 19 years old.
Are you forgetting England's tour of India early this year where Bashir played in 3 out of 5 matches, took total of 17 wickets, including two 5 wickets hauls!? India won by an inning in last match, otherwise this stats could have been even better.
But here we are talking about Shoaib Bashir performance so Shoib Bashir played only 3 matches of this series. And he collected 17 wickets in these matches. Means he has ability to play in the sub-continental pitches and he performed well too. That was the England tour to India so he is a good bowler. Because in three matches collection of 17 wickets is a great achievement.

Yeah, the West Indies team falling wickets like water falling from a mountain. at start of the second innings West Indies didn't lose a single wicket by scoring 55 runs and i imagine that West Indies will fight till the last ball of the game and level the series after winning it because they give a lead to England in the first inning of the game but at the start of day four west indies starting losing wickets. In the second innings West Indies All team Out in just 143 runs while chasing a target of 385 runs. All credit to England spin bowler Shoaib Bashir who took 5 wickets and broke the spine of West Indies middle order and won the second test match by a big margin 241 runs.
The only reason of their falling wickets is Shoib Bashir. Basically he collected 4 Crucial wickets. He collected 5 wickets but 4 were very important because he collected 4 middle men. Especially Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge. Because they performed really well in the first inning. Of I will give credit of this match winning so I will give it to Shoaib Bashir. By the way overall England played really well. Congratulations to England. 
Shoaib Bashir is promising talent for the England as he takes his second 5 wickets haul in 5 matches with this performance we can expect good future for this spinner in this country and this could be also huge motivation for the Asian origin players as well.
Joe Root is surely one of the best batsman which England produce in last few years, and now he is going to lead in many ways with his total runs and consistency which is amazing he is just 33, and I am expecting he will be on good way like James Anderson for having many records in front of his name in coming years.
West Indian collapse is surely nothing new because we all know about Pakistan and West Indies these countries can produce performance like this with one day they are hero and just second day they are going down like crap this is beauty of their quality and game with having end of this match like this is not good but still test cricket was at his best.

Agreed. Both West Indies and Pakistan have so many quality players, but they somehow manage to collapse under pressure sometimes due to which they end up losing critical matches.They need players that can handle high pressure easily like Mohammed Yousuf, Brian Lara, Wasim Akram, Chanderpaul etc in order to win such matches.
West collapsing Indies! Damn. They just threw away all their effort from the first innings pointlessly in a matter of minutes. Did not expect them to win after England score above 300, but I thought they could try to draw the match at the very least.
Shoaib Bashir was on fire along with Woakes and Atkinson. They won the series just like that and Root keeps climbing up the test greats charts. 1 test remaining.

WTF!!! It is the same story again and again. After West Indies got a lead in the first innings, I thought that their batsmen may be able to take advantage of the absence of Jimmy Anderson. Chris Woakes has picked up two wickets, but then it was Shoaib Bashir who wrecked the West Indian middle order. So far he has figures of 3-1-8-3, and has picked up the wickets of Kirk McKenzie, Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge. Jason Holder and Kevin Sinclair are at the crease and I am not sure whether these two can survive for much longer.
Even West Indian collapse was not expected specially when they have 61 for no I was excited about the result of this match because we were going for England and West Indies win with no draw chance and this is really beauty of test match which I love, but suddenly we have collapse which ruin the West Indian batting, and they fall out like crap. Shoaib Bashir have first 5 wickets haul at home which is impressive this will bring good confidence for this young spinner.After having good start then things gone into wrong way and all team bundled out on 143 which is really shameful score after having 457 in first inning having defeat of 241 runs mean now things could be not favourable for them in second inning, and they are going to have another whitewash in this series which could be disastrous for many youngsters those are trying to give their best but still fail to keep consistency.

I was thinking just like you. I was expecting too that West Indies will perform like first inning. But they didn't do that. By the team way here I appreciate the bowling of Shoaib Bashir who collected 5 wickets and he is only one who destroyed the West Indies team. By they way I admire West Indies team they improved little and I hope they will improve themselves more in the next match. And again I congratulate the England team who continued their winning streak.
This match too has won by the England team but at the start we though it could win by the West Indies too or at least they can draw the test as we saw that on the second day the West Indies team gave too amazing performances.
But today they has done nothing good on their batting line up. The England team has fully prepared for this day while on the other side, West Indies team just motivates to themselves and doesn't dong preparation for the match day and this is the main reason of West Indies lose. As we have seen in the first innings of West Indies, a player hit century so it doesn't mean he will hit again. Play better West Indies else they can't win matches against England.

The game is not drawn yet day three is stumped and Bangladesh made only 20 runs. Pakistan A made 467 runs loss three wickets and declared the first innings and Bangladesh A team all out in 266 runs. Pakistan A Setting big total of 428 runs for Bangladesh A team to win first unofficial test game. day 3 stumps off excellent batting by Omair Yousuf Scored a brilliant hundred and out after scoring 100 runs while Mubasir Khan made 95 runs and contributed a few runs to miss his hundred.
Bangladesh A team played seven over today they made 20 scores without lose of any wicket. Bangladesh A openers are on the crease and they will start the morning session of the 4th day if they save their wickets in first session then they will put pressure on Pakistan A side. Bangladesh A team that failed to deliver in the first inning of the game now needs 408 runs to win this game.
Right, this match was not drawn but Pakistan A squad emerged victorious by defeating the Bangladesh A sqaud and today this outcome was declared and Pakistan A sqaud performance in their first inning was super amazing with this batter strength Muhammad Hurraira, he made a double century century in first inning and fully supported their sqaud to secure victory with the help of Kamran Ghulam batter, he also achieved the century with collecting 100 scorer after playing 161 deliveries. If we see the score dashboard of Bangladesh A sqaud of first inning, their sqaud only achieved 256 scores but Pakistan A sqaud trailed 467 scores with declaring their inning. Bangladesh A team played seven over today they made 20 scores without lose of any wicket. Bangladesh A openers are on the crease and they will start the morning session of the 4th day if they save their wickets in first session then they will put pressure on Pakistan A side. Bangladesh A team that failed to deliver in the first inning of the game now needs 408 runs to win this game.
Same performance Bangladesh A squad displayed in their second inning performance and their squad almost achieved 279 scored with lost this test match by 148 scores. After failure of starter batter of Pakistan A squad in second inning, next batters Mubasir Khan and Omair Yousuf both played very amazingly with amazing scores both collected 95 and 100 scores respectively. Congratulations Pakistan A squad for first big achievement to win Test match and Bangladesh A squad needs more hard work for future matches.
I was expecting some good results from west indies as because they have shown really good performance in his previous innings and I taught may be it will be drawn results or may be west indies victory because they have to just chased 350 around run in 800+ balls which wasn't looking impossible if they has repeat his previous innings performance but in matter of minutes they thrown away all of his important wickets against a single spinner and out of no where England make a comeback after brutally exposing thier batting order to be honest I am still in shock because till 60 they hasn't lose a single wickets and then suddenly lose entire match 😂lol. Anyway a big congratulations to England for thier important victory hope West Indies will improve more with passage of time
Hahaha! I was thinking too. Because in their first inning Kavem Hodge played well and with him Joshua Da Silva and Alick Athanaze help the team to make 400+ runs. But when they were playing the second inning Alick Athanaze made only 1 run. Kavem Hodge didn't break the egg. And third one was little better means Joshua Da Silva made 14 runs. And West Indies got out at 143 runs in the second inning and England won by 241 runs. West Indies needs more consistency. If they want to beat England. WTF!!! It is the same story again and again. After West Indies got a lead in the first innings, I thought that their batsmen may be able to take advantage of the absence of Jimmy Anderson.

I must say, in this 2nd test Match, west indies improved themselves a lot and they showed good batting performance against England. West Indies won the toss & opted to fielding. So England went to bat first & did good performance as usual in their 1st inngins. Ben Duckett(71) & captain Ben Stokes(69) able to scored decent amount of runs. Specially Ollie Pope(121) showed legendary performance and done his century. And total they scored 416-10 runs in 1st inngins. And as a response of this targeted runs, West Indies also hold the bat tightly and made 457-10 which is good amount of runs, where captain Kraigg Brathwaite (48) did good start up, specially Kavem Hodge(120) did his century behalf of west indies and their performance was impressive enough. 2nd inngins started already where England is doing batting. 425-10 runs is already scored where Ben Duckett(76) and Ollie Pop(51) showed good batting again, besides Joe Root(122) and Harry Brook(109) is doing good partnership. Now west indies is on the bat and 6 wickets gone at 92-6 runs. Maybe they are going to lose again.
2 nd test game between West Indies and England was concluded today and West indies lost this game because of 2 nd Inning poor effort and in this inning, West indies team only scored 143 runs. But in 1 st Inning, West indies team made total 457 runs and England made 416 runs in this inning with difference of 41 runs. But West indies made poor struggle in 2 nd Inning and led to lost this game. Back to back West indies team lost their wicket and their Batsman made only few runs and lost wicket. Kraigg only played well and but other batsman made 1 and 0 runs mostly and team did not chase the target of England inning runs and lost game by 241 runs. O.Pipe got a player of game award because he played very great in both innings and in 1 st Inning, he scored 121 runs and made brilliant century and in 2 nd Inning, he scored 51 runs. But some other batsman also helped a lot to win this game like J.Root made brilliant century with other batsman H.Brook also made 109 runs and complete century. Congratulations to England team to win this game and was 2 nd win of England team. 
This match could be go anywhere, maybe West Indies could win this or England. The two days after this day and as we have seen West Indies can make more than 400 so this time, England is also in danger (only if WI can repeat their performance).
I was expecting some good results from west indies as because they have shown really good performance in his previous innings and I taught may be it will be drawn results or may be west indies victory because they have to just chased 350 around run in 800+ balls which wasn't looking impossible if they has repeat his previous innings performance but in matter of minutes they thrown away all of his important wickets against a single spinner and out of no where England make a comeback after brutally exposing thier batting order to be honest I am still in shock because till 60 they hasn't lose a single wickets and then suddenly lose entire match 😂lol.

West collapsing Indies! Damn. They just threw away all their effort from the first innings pointlessly in a matter of minutes. Did not expect them to win after England score above 300, but I thought they could try to draw the match at the very least.
Shoaib Bashir was on fire along with Woakes and Atkinson. They won the series just like that and Root keeps climbing up the test greats charts. 1 test remaining.
