England Extends Lead Over West Indies in 2nd Test

England staged a strong comeback in the second Test against West Indies at Trent Bridge, with Ben Duckett scoring 76, Ollie Pope 51, and Harry Brook 71 not out, establishing a lead of 207 runs. Despite a challenging start where opener Zak Crawley was run out for three, England's solid batting performance led by Duckett, Pope, and Brook, along with an unbroken 108-run partnership between Brook and Joe Root, put them in a commanding position. West Indies, led by Joshua Da Silva and Shamar Joseph's resilient batting, reached 457 all out in the first innings, setting up a finely poised match. The entertaining last-wicket partnership of 71 between Da Silva and Joseph added to the excitement, with England aiming to build on their first Test victory in the series.
