West Indies spinner Kevin Sinclair has been bowling decently well for his team in the ongoing second Test against England National Cricket Team. The second game of the three-match series between the teams is underway at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
England after being asked to bat first have done a reasonable job. Ollie Pope has slammed a magnificent century and has put the team in a strong position. Apart from him, Ben Duckett at the top slammed a brutal half-century to take his team off to a flying start.
Young batter Harry Brook seemed to be in good touch as well and played some gorgeous shots. But his stay at the crease was cut short by Kevin Sinclair. It's fair to say that the batter gave away his wicket as England lost their 4th wicket on Day 1 of the ongoing Test against West Indies.
During the 42nd over, Kevin Sinclair bowled a full delivery that was outside off. The batter shuffled across and leaned in looking to lap it fine. However, Harry Brook didn't get the proper connection as the ball lobbed off the toe end and it was caught by Kirk McKenzie.
As Kevin Sinclair got Harry Brook out, the spinner brought out his signature celebration. He performed the full somersault and stunned the crowd with his celebration.
Here's the video:

Harry Brook played a decent hand for his team in the ongoing Test. The right-hander played an innings of 36 runs off 34 balls as he tried to play aggressively. The middle-order batter also slammed three fours and 1 six in his innings. With his wicket, England were left at 201/4.
Kevin Sinclair has been decent with the ball. Although he hasn't got the wickets yet, he has been troubling the England batters with his lines and lengths. Among all the bowlers, he has the lowest economy as he has been pretty tight.
Ben Stokes holds the fort for his team with the bat
After England lost Harry Brook and Ollie Pope in quick succession of time, skipper Ben Stokes has been holding the fort for his team. The all-rounder has looked in great touch with the bat and is looking set for a big knock to take his team to the dominating position.
Ben Stokes has slammed a magnificent half-century and was batting at 68 runs off 101 balls at the time of writing this piece. With the way he is going, he looks all set for a big ton. The all-rounder would be keen to take his team to total over 500 runs and outplay the opposition.
England have already taken the 1-0 lead in the series. They would be hoping to win the ongoing game as well and seal the series in the ongoing game itself. The onus would be on the skipper Ben Stokes to take his team to a big total and then allow the bowlers to be aggressive.
