Just as England was chipping away and taking a massive lead in the second Test against West Indies at the Trent Bridge Cricket Stadium in Nottingham, fans got to witness a hilarious moment when the cameraperson managed to get hold of the doppelganger of the English captain Ben Stokes within the crowd.
Once the doppelganger was spotted, the broadcast cut to the former England skipper Paul Collingwood who gestured to Stokes who was sitting right beside him, giving the commentators and the viewers a hilarious moment to look back on.
England began Day 4 of the Test on a positive note with the likes of Harry Brook and Joe Root getting to their respective centuries to help the hosts register a massive lead and set a target of 385 runs for the West Indies.

In the final innings of the Test, the Windies skipper Kraigg Braithwaite looked to get a strong start as he marched close to his half-century but was dismissed by Chris Woakes on 47.

Following the dismissal, Shoaib Bashir managed to chip in with three more wickets and triggered a batting collapse to throw the visitor’s chances of securing a series leveller in the dust.
England now remains in the driver’s seat to take the victory with the home side needing only four more wickets with one more day to spare to claim the series as well.

The visitors will hope that the likes of Jason Holder can work with the tail-enders to help the Windies steal a draw to keep the series alive, but that seems unlikely with the amount of time left and the English bowlers looking in good touch to take the victory in Nottingham.
