'Plans Not Always Perfect': Woakes Defends England's Tactics Against Windies Tail
Joshua Da Silva: England all-rounder Chris Woakes defended his team's approach against West Indies on the third day of the ongoing second Test at Trent Bridge and said they opened the field to trap No.11 Shamar Joseph as Joshua Da Silva was firing all his cylinders from the other end.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan criticised his side for their defensive approach in the match and felt the home team gave West Indies a 'huge chance' as they took a 41-run lead after finishing their first innings for 457. Kavem Hodge slammed 120 while Da Silva remained unbeaten on 82 runs studded with 10 fours and three sixes. He also built a 71-run crucial partnership with Joseph for the final wicket.
On the third day of the Test, the hosts got off to a strong start thanks to a three-wicket haul (4 for 84 total) from Woakes in a 10-over session that left the visitors at 386 for 9, still 30 runs behind. In the end, Mark Wood dismissed Joseph for 33 to end the partnership and wrap Windies' innings for 457/10.
