Before this test series Ben Stokes was behind Jason Holder, gap between both players was big. But now after 2 games, he's leading the point table as No 1 all rounder + No 3 rank Batsman in the world.

Edit

One positive news : Pakistani Fast bowler Amir joining Test squad in the England.
Hoping to utilize Amir well if he's up to the mark: Waqar Younis

After losing first test of series they was on target and they done good job as they plan for this all which all gone in their favour its really perfect win for them and Stokes was really on full for home team becasue without this person this was not easy for them to win this match and level series now we are heading for third and final test which is starting from Saturday hopefully this could be also interested as we have first two tests of this series.

Ben Stokes missed a crucial catch in the first match which could have helped England win the game and he settled the score in the second one by scoring a big ton in the first innings and the quick fire innings in the second innings was crucial for taking the target above 300 in a short period of time, watched some of the highlights and both West Indies and England missed some catches in this match too which is terrible and majority are easy chances.

England was in command yesterday and they did right thing to send Stokes up as opener because he was in form and can make quick runs which actually helped the England team to make quick runs and declare their innings. It was a crucial decision that might have changed the game for England. But overall it was an exciting game of cricket and test match too can be fun to watch just like T20. So, thriller of the series could be the 3rd test match as both team now 1-1.

That was the most logical thing to do. But I was surprised at the ease with which Stokes scored his runs. He made 78 runs from just 57 balls, at a strike rate of 136.84. It is like having a strike rate of 270 in a T20 match. The West Indians tried their best, by bowling consecutive wides/bouncers and keeping Joe Root on strike. But despite all that, Stokes managed to score close to 10 runs per over. He almost singlehandedly propelled England to a win, in a match that could have ended up as a draw under normal circumstances.

The outcome of the second test match proved that England can thrash the West Indians, if they do away with the complacency. They lost the first match due to their own arrogance and complacence. They could have won the series 3-0 and got a chance to promote themselves in the ICC Test Championship. But they wasted that opportunity and for now they will remain at the 4th place, behind Australia, New Zealand and India.

England have bounced back strong in the series and now it sets it up for a exciting third test match and the decider. All the momentum is with England now as once again the WI failed to with stand the pressure while trying to draw the match. A lot of sportsbooks sucked many people into taking the draw option but as we have seen even with 1 day washed out there can still be an out come in the match and I think that is mainly due to T20 as teams are more attacking now days when it comes to batting. If this was played in the 90's I think it would of been a draw as the game was a lot slow scoring back then and also we don't see many draws now days due to quick scoring so in my opinion draws are a big risk even when there has been a day lost due to rain.

Very very interesting match. West indies proved that we shouldn't think so high of them. They still are struggling to put their things together. Lol a big gamble played by England and i don't know how were West Indies playing. But now the series becomes very interesting.

if you look at the test ranking team list, England is number 4 and their rating is 105 and west indies is number 8, their rating is 79. on their other hand, England's test gameplay is much better than west indies. yet England lost the first test because not all of England's player were on the team because of coronavirus or personal issue. their team was not stable. Now they are stable, and hope as well as today's match they will win the last one too.

West Indies also proved that they are like a Pakistani team who can't win back to back matches or lost a match/series which they could have easily won. Even the rain cannot stop West Indies from losing. Although i did not bet on any team, but i am sad on this West Indies loss today. Sad

I mentioned this before. They are a very inconsistent team especially in test and ODI formats. England would have won this one even more decisively if it wasn't for the rain interference.

We could not see a match like this if the ICC was to cut short the Test format to 4 days, England could have won the match easily if rain did not interrupt but with that interruption we saw a thrilling finish to the match and for anyone betting on the match or for the fans i would like to see matches like these rather than one sided domination. Final Test starts on 24 th July and i bet on England winning the series with that win and hopefully there will not be any rain interruption deciding the series.

West Indies couldn't make 200. They are bowled out for 198. England has won the match by a massive margin of 113 runs. A fantastic performance by the England team, after the humiliation they had during the first. Stuart Broad just proved that the decision to drop him for the first match was a mistake.

Broad really provided a match-winning performance here. He basically destroyed the West Indies team by picking wickets consistently, but the Stokes deserves the MOM in my opinion.

Interesting market:
WI 2nd innings to score over/under 199.50 runs :-P

I thought they could score 1 more run but they are all out for 198 and a brilliant catch from Pope and Ben Stokes is the man of the match as he played an incredible innings with the bat scoring 254 runs and picked up 3 wickets and now the series is leveled. I hope England will include Jofra Archer and James Anderson along with Stuart Broad in the final test.

Jofra Archer is going to be included for the 3rd test, and that probably means that Sam Curran needs to sit out.

Alzarri Joseph is gone, after playing a reckless shot against Ben Stokes. Now England needs just one more wicket, with Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel at crease. They need to survive another 19 overs.

This seems to be impossible for WI to draw the match from here. England team will be happy that they fought back in this test match and came back despite the day being washed out due to rain. England team and the fans will be celebrating today with this win.

Now the last test (Old Trafford) is going to be the series decider.

^^ 3 more wickets and 22 overs left for the day, Jason Holder has to play an extraordinary innings taking the strike most of the time to win the match in a situation like this and the rest of the players have a career batting average of 12, 6 and 4 and it says a lot about how difficult of a situation they are in to save this match. I was in two minds placing a bet for draw but luckily i thought of letting it go.

Holder is gone and they just need two more wickets.

Poor Holder lost his patience and throw his wicket not good from him as he need to lead from front good fight from England and they have good reward back in series with this good victory.

Holder out!
No hope left for WI. I think I am close to celebrate too :-P

I got an odd of 1.20 when placed the bet but before holder was gone the odd was 1.35+ and even in one stage it was 1.44 for England.

Holder is gone and they just need two more wickets. Dom Bess was getting overshadowed by the pace bowlers, but he managed a gem and it got one of the most crucial wickets in this match. On paper, 22 overs remain. But it needs to be seen whether they will get that many, given the deteriorating sunlight. BTW Roach can dug in for sometime, if the situation demands so.
