England Vs West Indies 2nd Test: It was a memorable and historic day for Ben Stokes' men against West Indies on Day 4 of 2nd Test match, as England have finally managed to breach a long-standing due record of not scoring 400 runs in both the innings of a Test match. Only 11 times in the past, such an incident has occured, but on those 11 occasions, England was at the receiving end of the bashing five times. Finally, they are on the right side, as this marks as their first-time ever scoring 400 runs in both the innings.

England have scored 400 in both innings in a Test for the first time ever 😯

Harry Brook has shrugged aside his poor form in 2023, as 2024 has seen the player throw a new life in a career which was taking a downhill turn. The right-handed batsman has ended his home hoodoo, as he finally scores a maiden home Test century (his fifth overall in Tests) and helped England immensely in creating the history.

A first HOME Test 💯 👏

Batted, Brooky! 🙌

England Set West Indies A Target Of 386

England managed to score 425 in their second innings and with that, West Indies are set to chase 386 in-order to script a history of their own, as any total beyond 300 has never been chased at Trent Bridge, with England's chase of 299 against New Zealand in 2022 still being the highest total chased at the venue.
