Important Performances and Turning points
- Joe Root’s Masterclass: A masterclass was witnessed in technique from the innings of 102 by Joe Root in the first innings. His innings was a perfect amalgamation of elegant strokes and solid defense to anchor England’s innings.
- The Tenacious Ben Stokes: The important 67 by Ben Stokes meant runs at a critical stage when England needed stability. His attacking intent made sure England had an uphill task set up for the West Indies.
- Shai Hope’s Grit: Of course, the 76 of Shai Hope in the first innings was one of the better performances under pressure. He was one of those few West Indies players who could stay at the crease and make runs.
- England Bowling Attack: James Anderson and Stuart Broad were the forefront of the English bowlers as they executed plans to the finest detail. His five-wicket haul in the second innings was instrumental in sending back the West Indies batsmen for a paltry total.
- Kemar Roach’s Efforts: The efforts of Kemar Roach must be lauded, who supported West Indies both with bat and ball fantastically. His bowling in the first innings had been highly instrumental in reducing England to this total, while in the second innings, his knock showed the fight in him.
