Ben Stokes' doppelganger spotted

As the English tailenders contributed crucial runs to solidify their position, a keen-eyed cameraman spotted a spectator bearing an uncanny resemblance to Ben Stokes. The look-alike was then displayed on the big screen, catching the attention of both the crowd and the players.

Upon noticing his double on the screen, Ben Stokes, along with assistant coach Paul Collingwood, burst into laughter. Stokes's reaction was priceless: he first smiled broadly before using his hands to make a spectacle gesture, as the doppelganger was wearing glasses. James Anderson, seated next to Stokes, also joined in the fun, clearly amused by the unexpected entertainment.

The light-hearted moment was not only a hit with the spectators at Trent Bridge but also with the commentators, who shared a laugh while discussing the uncanny resemblance.

England vs West Indies, 2nd Test

As far as the 2nd Test match between England and West Indies is concerned, the home side were bowled out for 425 runs in their second innings. The visitors were set a target of 385 runs to win the match. England bowlers, however, caused severe damage to West Indies' chances as they reduced them to 92/6 in 25 overs. 

England had scored 416 runs in the first innings and then the West Indies replied with an impressive 457 runs, taking a lead into the second innings. However, England have bounced back nicely to get into the driver's seat. It is England's match to lose now. 

England have already won the first Test of the series, which was also the farewell match for James Anderson. If England win the second Test, they will take an unassailable lead in the three-match series.
