Claiming a total of 19 wickets in one single day, England bowlers ripped apart West Indies batting line up at Edgbaston. Beginning their first innings from 44/1, West Indies had a horrifying start of the day as they lost Kyle Hope and Powell early in the day. England’s quicker bowlers kept troubling the Windies batsmen and wrapped the first innings for 168 to eventually enforce a follow-on. The fortunes didn’t change for West Indies in the second innings either and they lost wickets at regular intervals only to get bowled out for 137. This was England’s first ever day-night Test and they stamped authority after winning the clash by an innings and 209 runs.
