England won the game comprehensively against West Indies on Day 4 of the second Test at Trent Bridge. As if the action on the field was not enough, a funny moment in the stands added to the fun. Cameras spotted a Ben Stokes doppelganger, and the reaction of the star all-rounder was priceless.
During the English second innings, Stokes happened to see on the screen a man who looked very much like him. When Stokes saw his doppelganger, he smiled. Then, with a griming expression, using his hands, he made imitation glasses to his eyes, just like the man in the glasses did, entertaining the crowd on the field.
That light-hearted moment brought joy to the audience; even the commentators couldn’t help but laugh at the moment. England Cricket shared the video on its official media handles with the witty caption, “There’s only one thing better than one Ben Stokes…Two Ben Stokes.”.

Enthusiasts responded with hilarious comments. “Kane Williamson plus Stokesy, ” a user wrote and another said, “Ben Stokes found Stokes Ben.” Another comment read, “So I’m not the only one who has done that hand gesture to get a Spiderman face.”
Despite winning the first-innings 69, Stokes was out for single figures in the second. He watched the rest of the game from the balcony of the dressing room, enjoying the mid-match fun.
The second Test ended with England defeating the West Indies by 241 runs, thereby taking a lead of 2-0 in this three-Test series. The visitors were skittled out for 143 in just 23 overs while chasing a huge total of 385 that was set by the hosts on the fourth day. Star off-spinner Shoaib Bashir turned out to be the lead performer with the ball, returning figures of 5/31 to bowl out the West Indies.
