The highlight of Joseph’s innings was a spectacular six off Gus Atkinson in the 107th over, which grabbed attention both on the field and across social media platforms.

Their partnership of 71 runs helped West Indies narrow the deficit, with Da Silva anchoring the innings while Joseph played some aggressive strokes to keep England’s bowlers on their toes.

During the dramatic sequence on day three of the ongoing second Test at Trent Bridge, Shamar Joseph made headlines by smashing a short-pitched delivery from Gus Atkinson for a massive six over square leg. His next shot, another powerful hit off Atkinson, saw the ball fly high and crash into the roof of Trent Bridge, shattering tiles as it landed, causing a stir among fans who had to duck for cover from falling debris.

Following these big hits, Joseph continued to attack the bowling, top-edging a short ball to fine leg for another boundary. He added two more boundaries off Shoaib Bashir and Mark Wood before eventually falling for 33 runs. His aggressive innings helped the West Indies take a crucial 41-run lead over England in the ongoing second Test.

Video footage captured the moment when Joseph’s shot broke the roof of the stadium, highlighting the power and impact of his batting display during the match.

Joshua Da Silva said at the press conference after the end of day’s play: “He was pretty confident but I still had to shield him because he’s still No. 11. He backs himself with the bat, he played some terrific shots, he broke a couple of tiles, which was good to see. But at the end of the day, it was my job to try and get the team as far as we can. He’s going to have to pay for that (On breaking the tiles).”
