Preview

The historic career of star pacer James Anderson came to a fitting end at iconic Lord's when the England side defeated the West Indies by an innings and 114 runs to conclude the game in under 3 days and take the great lead in the series. Notably, Ben Stokes and Co. set their eyes to seal the series at Trent Bridge as the second Test against the West Indies commences on July 18.

Meanwhile, there will be some big celebrations on the first day as the pavilion end will be renamed in the honour of the star pacer Stuart Broad. However, the main focus for the home team remains the same, as they look to climb up in the World Test Championship rankings to get some crucial points. However, the West Indies cannot be written off just yet.

Kraigg Brathwaite and his men found themselves in a similar spot earlier this year when they outclassed Pat Cummins led Australian side at Gabba to level up the series. However, the visiting sides will be looking for the same turnaround in Nottingham as they aim to cease England's dominating momentum.

Player Picks

8
C

Gus Atkinson ENG | BOWL

Gus Atkinson breathed fire on his Test debut and rattled West Indies in both innings, scalping a total 12 wickets across the match and he is a must-pick for this match.

8.5
C

Zak Crawley ENG | BAT

Zak Crawley smashed 76 runs in the first innings and the opening batter will aim to go big yet again and provide a solid platform for his team.

8.5
C

Joe Root ENG | BAT

It was a satisfactory batting display from Joe Root in the last match, where he scored 68 runs in one inning, but there will be disappointment that he failed to convert his start into a big score. Root has the form with him and will again be a good differential choice for the game.

8.5

Jayden Seales WI | BOWL

Jayden Seales is one of the crucial weapon for his team in these seaming-friendly conditions. Jayden will be a game-changing pick for the match.

9

Alick Athanaze WI | BOWL

26-year-old all-rounder Alick Athanaze is the only batsman from the West Indies team who seems to be in touch.
