The third and final Test match being played between England and West Indies at Edgbaston has taken an exciting turn. West Indies' first innings was reduced to 282 runs. However, after this West Indies also dismissed three English batsmen by the end of the first day's play. After this, when the second day's play started, Shamar Joseph did not take much time to take the fourth wicket.

On the second day, Shamar Joseph bowled a wonderful delivery and bowled Ollie Pope. This wicket came on the fifth ball of the 11th over when Joseph bowled a short ball outside the off stump. Ollie Pope's bat got an inside edge on it and the ball blew away the middle stump. The video of this wicket is becoming quite viral on social media.

This was also a very important wicket for Shamar Joseph personally, as he has not been in his best form in this Test series and West Indies need him to show some of the magic that he showed in Australia earlier this year. However, Harry Brook also could not last long after the wicket of Ollie Pope and Jaden Seals dismissed him to take England's score to 54-5.

However, after this, captain Ben Stokes and Joe Root took control of the innings and made a century partnership for the sixth wicket. By lunch, England has scored 157 runs after losing five wickets. Ben Stokes is unbeaten on 48 runs while Joe Root is playing on 58 runs. In such a situation, the responsibility of taking the English team to the score of West Indies will now be on the shoulders of these two. Let us tell you that England has already won the series with two big wins at Lord's and Trent Bridge, so West Indies will have to win this match at any cost to avoid a clean sweep.
