England Cricket Team Breaks Own Record in Test Match Against West Indies
A three-match Test series is underway between England and West Indies, with England looking to win the second match and seal the series. In the second match, West Indies won the toss and decided to bowl, with England coming out to bat first. The English team made a significant record in the first 5 overs, achieving something that no team has done before in the history of Test cricket.
England Makes a Big Record
England had a shaky start after batting first against West Indies, losing their first wicket in the form of Jack Crawley on the third ball of the first over. However, Ollie Pope came on the field to support opener Ben Duckett, and together they took the team’s score to 50 runs in just 4.2 overs, which is a feat that no team has achieved in the history of Test cricket till now.
Breaks Own Record
The England team has broken its own record by completing 50 runs so fast against West Indies. They had previously scored 50 runs in 5.0 overs against Sri Lanka 22 years ago, in 2002. Now, they have broken their own record. Pakistan is at number three in this list, having scored 50 runs in 5.2 overs against Sri Lanka in 2004. India is at number four, having scored 50 runs in 5.3 overs against England in 2008.
