Spectators at Trent Bridge Stands Narrowly Survive After Shamar Joseph's Six Breaks Roof Tiles: WATCH

West Indies have bounced back terrifically from an innings loss at Lord’s, looking to level the series with a win in Nottingham. In reply to England’s mammoth 416, the tourists posted 457 and took a 41-run in the first innings. Kavem Hodge smashed his maiden Test hundred while the likes of Alick Athanaze and Joshua de Silva made notable contributions to put the Windies in a comfortable spot.

Meanwhile, fast bowler Shamar Joseph gave England a taste of their medicine as the tail-ended batted in a Bazball style and garnered 33 runs off 27 balls. He smashed 5 boundaries and a couple of sixes during his stay in the middle, one of which went straight on the roof of one of the boxes at Trent Bridge and broke the tiles.

The incident happened on the third day of the ongoing Test when Joseph took the attack to England’s young fast bowler Gus Atkinson in the 107th over of the innings. The West Indies No. 11 timed one of Atkinson’s short ball perfectly as it travelled way back to hit the roof of one of the boxes with the tiles falling on the crowd sitting below.

Joseph stitched a handy 71 in 13 overs that took West Indies to 457 all out, leaving England visibly frustrated. This was West Indies’ highest Test total since their 484-7 declared against Bangladesh at Kingstown in September 2014.

But Da Silva completed an 87-ball 50 in spectacular style when he launched Mark Wood high over extra cover for six. And the wicketkeeper then took West Indies past 400 with another impressive six, an extravagant uppercut off Wood.

England captain Ben Stokes turned to Joe Root to break the stand but Da Silva clubbed the part-time spinner for three fours and a six off successive deliveries. Wood eventually ended the run spree when Shamar Joseph chipped him to mid-on.
