England v West Indies

In return, England too got bundled out cheaply for just 194, thanks to Kemar Roach's 5/72 and Jason Holder's 4/54. For England, it was Ben Stokes again who performed, this time with the bat scoring 60 crucial runs. He stitched a very valuable 56-run partnership with Bairstow.

When West Indies came to bat in their 2nd Innings, it was James Anderson who bowled magnificently and ripped through the Windies' batting line up registering his best performance at Lord's, 7/42 which also included 5 maidens with an economy rate of just 2.08. Thanks to James Anderson, the Windies could only make 177 runs in their second innings. England then came out and chased the target of 107 quite comfortably losing just one wicket.
