It was all fun for West Indies batters in the opening session of Day 3 of the second Test match against England as they took the lead against the odds.
However, the highlight reel of Saturday (July 20) was the monster six hit by Shamar Joseph as it took everyone by surprise while he broke the tiles of the roof at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
His exploits coupled with Joshua Da Silva‘s brilliant 82-run knock saw the West Indies take a 41-run lead in the first innings.

Having come out top bat at 386/9 and West Indies trailing by 30 runs, not much was expected from Joseph with the bat. However, he was brilliant with the bat and on the fourth ball of the 106th over he gained everyone’s attention.
Batting against Gus Atkinson he pulled his bat for a monster six which landed on the roof of one of the Trent Bridge stands, in the process breaking the tiles of the roof. The six also saw West Indies take a first innings lead to everyone’s surprise.
This is absolutely great 👍
