England Tour of West Indies 2021/22 2nd Test, ENG vs WI, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report, and other updates.

In ENG vs WI game, England will be taking on West Indies in the 2nd Test of their tour to the West Indies at Kensington Oval Barbados. The first Test match was a draw with the Joe Root-led side having finally delivered a better batting performance. On the other hand, West Indies slipped a bit in the second innings, but Nkrumah Bonner and Jason Holder managed to save them by batting 35.4 overs

England skipper Joe Root would have been pleased by the performance of Zak Crawley and Jonny Bairstow. The duo scored fine hundreds and batted responsibly. The bowling sans James Anderson and Stuart Broad also looked good. Chris Woakes and Craig Overton bowled well. The only issue for the team is the unavailability of Mark Wood, who suffered an elbow injury.
