Root started with slow claps and intensified it to pump up the bowler, looking for inroads.

Jamie Smith was dismissed in an unlucky fashion, as the ball kept incredibly low to castle him in the ongoing third Test against West Indies at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

Right after lunch, Alzarri got rid of dangerous Stokes with a sharp bouncer. On the 2nd ball of the 36th over, Joseph tested the English skipper with a bouncer, who tried to pull it away for a four, but only found West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite, who made no mistake.

In the latest events, former Sri Lanka captain, Kumar Sangakkara, who was present in the commentary box, remarked that Sachin Tendulkar's record might be in danger.

The third Test between England and West Indies is turning to be an interesting one with West Indies fighting with the ball after putting 282 on the board in the first innings. They got three wickets on Day 1, and Shamar Joseph now made sure that he gives West Indies some early joy on Day 2 with a big wicket of Ollie Pope.

Joe Root, who scored a century in the last game, scripted another feat in the ongoing match as he went past Brian Lara to become the seventh-highest run-getter in Test cricket.
