England team completed the target of West Indies and gave a lead of 250 runs. England team scored 371 runs in today's match, though comparatively England did not score much runs in today's match. But the lead given to the West Indies, I think the West Indies will be under a lot of pressure to meet this target. In the second innings, the West Indies team batted and they lost an opening wicket early on which put them under a lot of pressure. Kraigg Brathwaite as a captain of the team did not score good runs for the team but got out. However, the West Indies team has now batted for 13 runs in 10 overs with the loss of 1 wicket and if they fail to meet the target and give a lead in today's match, they are likely to lose the match.

250 runs is too big lead and a team like West Indies (who is already in bad form), will not be able to chase it.
In the first innings, the second out was also done by Atkinson which was the wicket of Kirk McKenzie. Remember it is the first innings of West Indies team, in short, it is day one. Kirk McKenzie thought the ball will come in as Kraigg Brathwaite was out but this time, Atkinson gave ball without swing and the ball go with some slow touch, the bat edge happened and the ball clearly went through the fielder’s hand onto the slip which was taken by Crawley very easily, such amazing bowling by Atkinson at yesterday’s day as he picked 7 wickets towards. What a player he is.

The proof of how strong the England team is at their home ground, they once again gave proof in the first test match against the West Indies.

In the first test match between England and West Indies, the West Indies team batted first. England's bowlers managed to restrict the West Indies batsmen to very few runs in their first innings. That gives them another opportunity to advance in the match.England scored 371 runs in their first innings, leading West Indies by 250 runs.
After England were bowled out in the first innings, West Indies were allowed to bat again in their second innings. Right now they are batting in the second innings and they are performing like their first innings. Already two wickets have fallen in their 18 runs, they are still 232 runs behind England.

[Out of mind]

England team has managed to give a huge score lead, and it will be very difficult for West Indies to meet this target. With the way West Indies are batting in the second innings, they might lose their entire wicket very soon. Two early wickets, which is putting West Indies under a lot of pressure. If West Indies continue to bat like this, every batsman will be under pressure and out. Kirk McKenzie scored 0 runs off 9 balls, and Kraigg Brathwaite was out for 4 runs off 26 balls, putting the team under a lot of pressure from the two batsmen. However, if the West Indies have to meet the target given by England in today's match, then they still need to collect 232 runs, they have only eight wickets left. So the batsmen who are currently at the crease have to bat very carefully otherwise they will lose today's match.

We are currently having first test match between England vs West Indies for the Wisden Trophy with just after 155 overs and second day of the match we are heading for the end of the match with after winning toss having field first was good decision by the England captain just in 42 overs we have packed West Indian batting on 121 and young England's debutant Gus Atkinson having dream start of his career as he takes 7 wickets then we have good bazball batting from the England which score 371 runs in just 90 overs.

Now we have still 15 overs left in second day play we are having West Indian in deep trouble just 42 runs and all top 4 batsmen back to pavilion now we have interesting situation can England packed them today, or we are going to have third days play as well for the England's big win and with this win they could be jumped from the bottom of the World Test Championship as well.

Very true, it was the first-innings bowling performance by the England team that led to this situation where the winning for England is now crystal clear.

All wickets which was taken by Gus Atkinson mostly taken by a catch on slip because he was giving the ball with the batsmen mind set, his every ball is different from his last one that is why the batsmen was struggling to read Gus Atkinson mind and what type of ball he will deliver.  In short, he is using trick but at the end, he is a good player.

The proof of how strong the England team is at their home ground, they once again gave proof in the first test match against the West Indies.

There is no doubt that England is a better of the two teams, no matter you play England at home or away, the West Indies team is not in a position to beat them at home or away.

England vs West Indies test series will start today and the two teams will face each other in the first test match today. Although England team is currently in better form than West Indies, so England has more chances to win the series. Still I think West Indies team will try to play well against England and they will play well to win the series. However, according to the betting ratings, England are more likely to go, if England can be bet on today's match, there is a chance to win.

It was already confirmed from start of the series that England will have upper hand on West Indies but they way w.indies performed against Australia in previous series where shamar Joseph really put entire team in big big trouble so after that things were going a bit spicy and west indies were taken seriously but I think they continue his previous form like they have before Australia clash. Anyway according to match scoreboard west indies bat first and got brutally exposed and lose his most of wickets before even scoring a decent Target and just scored a 121 later England scored 370+ with huge contribution of Crawley, pope, root and some middle order guys. But the surprising things is that we expect a better inning from west indies especially after brutal collapse in thier first innings but they rewrite thier same story of first innings and that's a clear indication of England victory.

Day 2 was ended today west indies played very poorly in 1 st day and also in their 1 st Inning and made only 121 runs. Today England team made good runs 371 runs by losing all wickets.  B.Stikes my favourite batsman of England team was kit batted good and made only 4 runs in test game. But j.Root played well and he scored 68 runs in 114 balls and also other batsman Z.Crawley played brilliantly with good runs 76 and hitted fourteen 4s. I think England team add new played his effort in game was totally different and good. Manay more Batsman also showed outstanding struggle and some need more hard work to improve their cricket line for future. In 2 nd Inning of West indies, again their batsman playing very worst I think 1 st runs are enough for west indies of England team won win.

The West Indies team is going to be defeated by a huge margin. I didn't think West Indies would win against England, but I thought West Indies team would perform a bit better. But West Indies played very badly in the first innings.

West Indies only 121 runs in the first innings. On the other hand, the West Indies bowlers are not doing well either. England batted brilliantly and scored a mammoth total of 371. The England team managed to take a huge lead of 250 runs. West Indies will not be able to collect even 200 runs in their second innings. The West Indies team lost 6 wickets to collect only 79 runs. West Indies players are in very bad form.

West Indies players are in very bad form.

Gus Atkinson is an excellent bowler. In the first innings we saw a great performance from Gus Atkinson. He picked up 7 wickets by bowling just 12 overs. Maiden bowled 5 overs. And he is bowling well in the second innings as well. He picked up 2 wickets by bowling 7.5 overs. Anderson and Stokes also picked up two wickets each in the second innings. The challenge for West Indies is to survive at the crease against England's bowlers. The West Indies team lost wickets very quickly in the second innings as well.

Since West Indies lost 6 batsmen to collect only 79 runs, it is assumed that the team will not be able to collect even 150 runs. There are no experienced batsmen at the crease. The West Indies team is still behind by 171 runs. The West Indies team will be defeated in this match by an innings and 150 runs at least. The West Indies team will be defeated in all three matches of this series.

West Indies are batting in the second innings and with that the second day's play is over. West Indies have lost 16 wickets in two innings so far, with Gus Atkinson taking nine wickets alone. Gus Atkinson has been doing really well on his Test debut. West Indies are still 171 runs behind, maybe Gudakesh Motie will enter the field tomorrow along with Joshua Da Silva. But I think West Indies will not be able to stay on the pitch for long with the last 4 wickets. We may get the results of this test in the first session of the third day tomorrow.

The situation is saying that West Indies will lose this test match easily and they will not give a chance to England to play the second inning. Because West Indies made only 79 runs and they have lost 6 wickets and they have the trial of 171 runs. In my point of view England will win this match with big margin. Because They are looking much stronger as compare to the West Indies. So let's see what will the West Indies do today.

West Indies are in tough spot having lost 16 wickets in just two innings. Gus Atkinson has been phenomenal on his Test debut taking nine wickets so far. Unfortunately for West Indies they are still trailing by 171 runs and I do not see them surviving for much longer with only four wickets remaining. I predict that Gudakesh Motie and Joshua Da Silva will try to put up fight but ultimately I think the game will be wrapped up in first session of third day with England team emerging victorious.

In the entire innings of this test match, we can see the dominance of England bowlers. The West Indies batsmen are unable to stay at the crease in any way, they are showing one failure after another. West Indies' batting in the first innings will be eye-opening as all three of their batsmen were dismissed for zero runs. They include Holder, Joshua de Silva, Joseph they put their team in complete danger. As a result, their first innings ended with very few runs. After the first innings failure they have not learned from their failure and they are batting badly in the second innings as well. West Indies, meanwhile, have lost six wickets for just 79 runs at this stage of their game and look set to lose the first Test to England by an innings.

[Haunebu]

Great to see Mr.Anderson picking up 2 wickets in the 2nd innings while giving away just a couple of runs so far. He is giving it all since this is the last time that he will be bowling professionally in cricket.

This series was always meant to give him a great sendoff and serve as a proper warm-up series for the English in my opinion.

[Bitcoin_people]

West Indies still have 162 runs left to meet England's target but they are short of wickets. West Indies may not be able to match the lead given by England in today's match, as they have lost seven wickets already, which has put their team under a lot of pressure. At the moment, West Indies have collected only 88 runs, their runs are very less and with this bad batting performance, they will never be able to match England. To face England, West Indies must perform well in batting and improve their game otherwise they will lose the Test series against England.

The first test match has been over between England and West Indies, this match won by England. It was such a great first test match victory, I think England own players can’t even imagine this type of wonderful victory. England won by an innings and 114 runs.



At the first innings of West Indies, they made one hundred and twenty one while on their second innings, they made one hundred and thirty six. This England bowling line up is on peak, what a bowling line up it is, Ben Stokes, James Anderson, Gus Atkinson, and the last who don’t have much effort but the part of a team and good decision for defense is Chris Woakes. These four bowlers out the West Indies full team twice in this test.

You are right England won this test match very easily by 114 runs and an inning remaining in the match. this huge win credit goes to England fast bowlers who picked 20 wickets of West Indies batters in just first inning of the 3rd day. West Indies all out in just 136 runs in the second inning a disappointing performance by West index in this test match. The Player of the Match is New youngster fast bowler Gus Atkinson for his amazing bowling performance in the first inning picked 7 important wickets by just giving 45 runs and in the second inning Gus Atkinson also bowled well and picked 5 crucial wickets and got England a huge victory against West Indies.

[Fuso.hp]

Yesterday I said that the way England are batting they will definitely invite the West Indies to bat and give them a chance to beat the West Indies by an innings. The five-day Test match ended before three days were over. We already know what the result of the test match between England and West Indies will be because West Indies will not be able to compete much with a team like England at least in Test cricket. 

As England got enough time for the second test match, they must rest this time and they will want to beat the West Indies in this way in the second test match as well. 
Congratulations to the England cricket team for a brilliant win by an innings and 114 runs against the West Indies.

Yes, the bowlers really turned the game for the England team. In fact every wicket taken by the West Indies was a step ahead in winning this test match.



Kirk McKenzie was the second loss for the West Indies team and this was hunted by Ben Stokes, easy ball, the batsmen could easily play to it but not his luck. Slow ball, with some touch of in-swing, it was an LBW, umpire raised his finger then Kirk McKenzie was not happy with his decision that is why he took a review. In review the umpire was right and he was out. It is the 200th wicket for Ben Stokes in his test career. In this innings, Ben Stokes picked up two wickets. England won this match very early.

Yes England cannot imagine this victory.  If seen the competition with England was of West Indies.  Which is a very weak team.  And England is a very good and strong team.  West Indies were under a lot of pressure and could not give a big target.  And England batting speed was so fast that they complete the target in the first inning and won the first match.  One they won the first match and the other they won in the first inning.  If the West Indies batsmen had set a target of 400 in the first innings, the match could have change but the England bowlers show success in making it happen.  If West Indies total target was 800 then West Indies were in chances to win.  They should perform well in this match and try to win the match.  If they could not win the Test matches then how will they win the ODI.
