Edgbaston awaits. The series has been decided but WTC points are still up for grabs. West Indies sitting at the bottom of the table will know the significance and will be looking for ways to climb. They had a really poor second innings last Test to undo their hard work in the first innings, and the side will be looking to sustain on some good periods.

England are off to a decent start in the post Anderson era. Mark Wood bowled a few really testing spells, beating the edge multiple times while Chris Woakes reinstated himself as the senior pro. The batting has also been looking good and England are slowly making their way towards the Ashes.

ENG vs WI Key Players

Gus Atkinson

Gus Atkinson had a really good debut, overshadowing the importance on Anderson’s retirement. He kept it simple, hit the right lengths and looks like a bowler to take care of for England.

Shamar Joseph

While one quick bows out another makes his way in. Shamar Joseph was phenomenal in Australia. He had Steve Smith under a lot of discomfort with his bowling and was the primary reason behind the Gabba win. He is at another iconic stadium and will be hoping to breach through it and run in happiness once more.

ENG vs WI Match Tips
