Transcript
00:00You
00:10Chris walks with the new ball
00:23This ball that's been pitched up and the outfields quick and that is the first boundary
00:31a
00:34Lovely shot really good. It'll hit those wicket ends. I think that will just drift away for four. It does. Yeah
00:44That was short and wide that was the first really poor delivery and Brathwaite to put that away
00:54Punched and that is a shot
00:57It'll get you value
00:59at Trent Bridge
01:07That's a good shot, but it's a better length from wokes to Brathwaite
01:16And a bit of swing as well
01:18a
01:26Very fast opening over that from that would 36 for now
01:37And out is in front of square and therefore the sweep from Brathwaite that goes behind square brings him a boundary
01:48Very fast and very well played the crowd have just looked up at the big screen and see mark
01:54What is it? Ninety seven point one miles an hour. That was a very fast ball and Mikhail Louie played it very well
02:08Well, that's come out of nowhere the morning had been rather sedate by the Rockets from wood and then this
02:19Well, he holds his shape this time and running back running back close close and taken that is a very fine catch
02:27Indeed, he's been brilliant in the slips throughout this series. He's been fantastic right there in the outfield
02:34Harry Brooke with brilliant hands
02:36Wasn't put off by the swipe the ball before just this one a little bit more air and said have another go
02:42Louie obliged but watch this from Harry Brooke
02:45Eyes locked on the ball
02:48Just so soft in the way allow that to come down into the hands didn't panic when he goes for 21 53 for one
02:57Kirk McKenzie makes his way out to the middle to join his captain
03:05Yeah finds a gap nicely had to dissect the two fielders trying to protect that boundary line on the onside
03:19Clip nicely too much work for Bashir to do
03:26That's the spot that's the spot brilliant planning from Stokes and execution from Atkinson
03:34Got his line spot-on
03:36absolutely spot-on
03:37He couldn't sway out the way of that one. He didn't really need to play it and a simple chance to Ollie Pope
03:44The skipper played nicely, but he's gone 78 for two West Indies
03:51Catherine a's places his captain
03:57Driven and driven sweetly
04:03Hack God, that is an absolute gift
04:08well bold
04:09To show a bash here, but that is not a good shot at a very bad time
04:17Very close to a no ball that very close
04:23Bit of a hack
04:25When Stokes has taken harder catches than that on this ground
04:29McKenzie goes for 11 84 for three
04:39I
04:42Man was brought up from the cover region
04:45That will be a comfortable four off the last ball of the 25th 89 for three
04:55Voids it gets his hands out the way just so 26 overs have been bowled in the two hours of cricket. We've had
05:03Bashir has been excellent with two Atkinson with one
05:0789 for three at lunch on day two of this second test
05:15That's beautifully played up on the
05:18The left toe hitting the ball well in front of square with that back foot punch
05:27It's another one in the gap a little bit more in the up then perhaps one that was struck imperiously earlier on
05:37And
05:38Just passed him
05:40Just passed him Stokes took away mid on himself put a short mid on bend duck it and it flashed past him
05:51That's a better shot much better the first one was a little bit of a swipe that was just stroke through mid off
05:59Good batting 121 for three
06:06That's been flat batted there is a man back there, but it goes past him duck it again and another boundary
06:18Oh beautiful, that's his shot. It doesn't move his feet much, but he just
06:25Strokes it through the offside and times it crisply
06:28It's just clipped and that is the shorter hit on this ground
06:31It's not big in any direction and that will bring up the 50 partnership between athenaeus and hodge
06:40Well, he's back there and it's down
06:44Excellent they were in the slip cordon pretty much took everything that came their way
06:49And this is a bad miss from Stokes
06:52It's that short one go
06:59Does take it on pulled away
07:02I don't think duck it has seen that in the deep. He went the wrong way to start with four to end the 42nd
07:11Down the path
07:13And he's got it
07:15Four to end the 42nd
07:21Down the pitch
07:23Hasn't got all of it stokes in hot pursuit, but he's got enough of it. It skips away for four
07:31So pace has strange effects in all different kinds of way
07:36Oh
07:40Glove oh and away for four. He's a tall man. Jamie smith an athletic man, but that was out of his reach
07:50Pulled away firmly and placed beautifully. That's a shot of real authority from hodge
07:59Well played
08:07Yeah, kevin hodge doesn't see it that way he's going to take it on brilliant fielding harry brooke
08:18Oh, oh that's a nasty one. It wasn't that short he tried to get underneath it
08:25And that has hit him hard and flush
08:28on the batting helmet
08:29Following him. Just watch kevin kevin hodges reaction at the other end. Oh
08:37Fuck
08:42Very good again from hodge. She's elected in this innings to take them on
08:55They'll go back and it will be will it be yes, it will be a first half century in test match cricket
09:03For the young dominican alec athames
09:08Leading run scorer at the 2019 icc under 19 world cup and a lot has been expected of him
09:23Really good yorker fifth over of the spell 93 miles per hour
09:32So
09:36I'm, so a fan of that control pull from hodge. It's only about stomach high so he's able to control it. Well
09:49Terrific gap finding this has been a wonderful partnership
09:54And a wonderful knock from kevin hodge's second
09:58half century
10:00In test match cricket following that wonderful knock at the gaba earlier this year
10:0671 then which proved to be a match winning innings
10:16It's kind of out of the blue this
10:18And i'm not talking about the blue sky
10:21But generally the way that he's been playing great control. Not that this lack control
10:26all the way for six
10:28Whoever this ball is going to be i'm picking the gap and i'm going for it carried all the way
10:40A curtailed appeal from ben stokes signals
10:45Or should signal he's thinking about it now
10:49Smith the big diva says no
10:51And the western leagues will head
10:53to the confines of the dressing room at
10:55212 to 3 with both players on half centuries
11:04Good firm strike down the ground a couple of occasions west indies got into trouble trying to take bashir down the ground
11:16Pulled firmly and for four to end the 55th over
11:26It's another good shot and he's hit this more firmly and he beats wood at backward point to his right hand side this time
11:37Very strong on that shot the moment bashir
11:41drops short hodge
11:43Pounces he's short he picks up length quickly
11:46He
11:51Thick outside edge and he will not drop them
11:53Harry brooke has some of the best hands going around at the moment and is the skipper who has got the vital breakthrough
12:02Pitch the ball up outside off stump encouraging the drive and that is a fantastic catch. There's no easy catch at gully
12:09They come quickly
12:10Balls for 82 for 99 deliveries and was part of a fantastic partnership
12:16Former west indian captain in jason holder comes out to the middle
12:25Plays it late finds the very small gap in the slips cordon starts his innings with a boundary
12:34Oh
12:37It's through it's at the boundary
12:39Oh
12:43That's sweetly timed all because of the positioning and the time of the dive was almost as sweet
12:53Through him
12:54This is what we're talking about full straight. It causes issues and he's wondering mark wood. What do I have to do?
13:01Oh
13:04Oh, he's targeted again the head goes back
13:07There's a wry smile
13:09That is a superb over 275 before as jimmy anderson looks on
13:17Gets onto that very quickly
13:24Kevin hodge raises his arms
13:27He puts and drizzle dominica on the map while making a name for himself in test match cricket
13:34It is a hundred of note at trent bridge
13:38And he will celebrate it duly
13:44Wonderful scenes he kisses the badge raising the bat
13:49To the crowds to his teammates supporting him clapping away superb innings 101 off 143
13:57With some eye-catching shots and none more than the four that brought
14:02Him his hundred
14:04Drive down the ground off the england captain ben stokes a huge smile
14:08between hodges face
14:13Pulled away and he's picked that length very very quickly and dispatched it with some disdain
14:20It's all trying to get the cold stood up
14:22So
14:2617 times past the bat
14:33Stokes getting the crowd going route doing the same all the fielders joining in
14:39Just feels as though the whole ground is willing mark wood
14:44to pick up
14:45His first wicket of the day. He certainly deserves it. He's bowled very quickly and he's bowled well
14:53But wicketless as yet
15:03Two nine five before
15:10And that is greeted with some degree
15:17Close close. Yes
15:20It's reviewed straight away
15:27Pitching outside of impact in line
15:31We get some fastball, thank you. I'll go back to you know, if you can stay with your decision
15:41Disappointment for kavem hodge on the manner of his dismissal, but
15:46He will leave
15:48To a standing ovation. He's played quite wonderfully
15:52This afternoon is maiden test match hundred a day. He will remember forever
15:58joshua da silva
16:01Whose parents are also here and they'll be here right through the test series, but either side of his half century
16:06Three
16:14Confident way to get off the mark for joshua da silva
16:19Just saw wood stretching after that ball looks like stokes is
16:25Saying no, you shouldn't complete it regardless of what?
16:29Wood wants to do don't know whether it's cramp. We saw shemar joseph have real issues with cramp
16:35For mark wood, but he's not going to complete this over and it'll be left to gus atkinson
16:39Who's not bold in this session to do that?
16:42Appreciation for as much the effort
16:44That he has put in as much as maybe a little sympathy
16:53And another good shot from da silva the share has shown enough control
16:57Ball
17:02He bowls a bit of wick with the away swing
17:12Nicely played
17:19Well that one sat up and begged to be hit
17:28Beautifully played just kept the face open long enough to
17:37More shot that's a cracker. The silver is a battler
17:47And that'll be that
17:50for day two
17:51The day in which the west indies have found a new batting hero
17:56Kevin hodge has made his maiden test match 100. So england's 416
18:04Led by ollie pope's 121 as responded to in fine fashion by the west indies
18:10351 for five
18:12a half century for alec athenaeus
18:14Craig brathwaite battled away for 48 josh da silva is 32 not out. But the star of the day is cavin hodge
