Ben Stokes was amused at the sight of his doppleganger in the crowd at Trent Bridge. The resemblance was uncanny, and Stokes couldn’t help but share a smile with James Anderson in the pavillion. The spectator even wore a ginger beard just like the England captain.

Coming to the action, West Indies managed to capture three wickets in the morning session at Trent Bridge on the fourth day but England pushed their lead beyond 300 thanks to Harry Brook’s century and Joe Root’s unbeaten 81. West Indies endured a very frustrating toil with the two right-handers looking very comfortable at the crease.
The 189-run partnership finally came to an end when Brook edged behind and then a few overs later, Ben Stokes returned to the pavilion after finding the fielder stationed at deep square leg. The finishing touches to the mini Caribbean comeback were applied when Kevin Sinclair managed to pick up a wicket off the final ball of the session, leaving Root stranded on 81 at the other end.
