The Windies dressing room exults in joy as they knocked down England in just 3 days and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Test series and the team also did a little victory lap around the stadium. Sir Viv Richards, after whom this venue has been christened, salutes the boys.
Not much to speak of, as far as England's batting is concerned. In the first innings, the English team bundled out for 187 runs. In reply, The Windies top-order was much better, several of them falling in the 40s and 50s and scored 306 in the first innings.
Another miserable scorecard for English in second innings as they lasted for only 42.1 over and stack down for just 132 runs and gave the Windies a target of 13 runs and then the hosts finished the game with a six and won the match by 10 wickets.
