England will lock horns with the West Indies at Trent Bridge Stadium, Nottingham, in the 2nd Test.
July 18, 2024, is when England and the West Indies will play their second Test match at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. This eagerly awaited match comes after England easily won the opening Test by an innings and 114 runs. The lone alteration to the England squad’s lineup comes from Ben Stokes’ squad: Mark Wood has taken James Anderson‘s spot, who announced his retirement from Test cricket following the first Test.
In this pivotal match, both sides will be keen to take the lead. West Indies will be hoping to recover from its loss in the opening Test, but England will be encouraged by its recent performance. With both sides looking to win and seize control of the series, the game looks to be a fierce struggle.
