England is now batting after Kraigg Braithwaite of the West Indies called it right at the toss in Nottingham. With Mark Wood replacing James Anderson for England and Kevin Sinclair taking over for Gudakesh Motie due to illness, both teams have made one change each.
ball-by-ball commentary of Thursday, July 18, at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, England vs. West Indies, the second Test of the three-match series.
Kraigg Braithwaite’s West Indies will definitely seek to put up a better fight, displaying some grit and taking the assault to the opposition after a dismal showing at Lord’s.
However, without James Anderson in their lineup, England will begin to venture into their bowling future.
