England and West Indies are set to face each other in the second Test of the three-match series starting from July 18. The opening game ended inside three Tests with the visitors capitulating twice with not many runs on the board losing the game by an innings and 114 runs. But they will take heart from their performance at the Gabba, Brisbane from earlier this year when they defeated Australia against all odds.
The hosts will be without James Anderson who retired after the first Test and Mark Wood has replaced him in the playing XI. West Indies have named an unchanged XI for this game keeping the faith in same group of players to deliver this time around. The second Test is set to be played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham and will commence at 3:30 PM IST.
This is the first home Test since 2012 that England will be taking the field without James Anderson and Stuart Broad who retired last year. Interestingly, West Indies' record against England at Trent Bridge is very good having won four Tests and lost only one while four other matches have ended in a draw. However, their last win at the venue came way back in 1991.
