“Updated ICC World Test Championship Points Table: England Triumphs Over West Indies in 2nd Test”

England have moved up from the bottom of the ICC World Test Championship standings, closing in on the leaders with a decisive 241-run victory over the West Indies in the second Test in Nottingham. This win gives England a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Spinner Shoaib Bashir played a crucial role, taking 5/41 to help dismiss the West Indies for 143 while chasing a target of 385, according to an ICC press release.

The victory lifts England to sixth place in the World Test Championship standings, overtaking South Africa, Bangladesh, and the West Indies. The final Test in Birmingham provides an opportunity for a series sweep. Following this series, England will host Sri Lanka for three Tests and then travel to Pakistan and New Zealand for additional three-match series.

The West Indies have dropped to ninth place in the standings with a 22.22 percent win-loss ratio. They have seven Tests remaining in this period, facing England (one), South Africa (two), Bangladesh (two), and Pakistan (two). England have retained the same squad for the final Test, while the West Indies hope for the return of spinner Gudakesh Motie, who missed the second Test due to illness.
