Yes, as we have been in the UK since the last two months, it’s been a good preparation time for us. Especially in the English condition, people get ready and prepared for the Test series. So, we had enough time before this series.

Plus, everyone is young in the team, so I think we have a good chance this time to win this series in England,” he said.

]]>In the last 5 weeks, 154 outbreaks were reported compared to an average of 53 outbreaks reported over the same time period in the previous five years,” the PHE said.
The PHE also stated that cases are returning to pre-pandemic levels across all age groups and settings in the country.
Norovirus is highly infectious :
Public Health England said that Norovirus, also known as the winter vomiting bug, ‘is highly infectious’ and causes vomiting and diarrhoea. “It is easily transmitted through contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces,” PHE stated.
Symptoms of Norovirus:
The PHE stated that the symptoms of Norovirus include sudden onset of nausea, projectile vomiting and diarrhoea. It can also include a high temperature, abdominal pain and aching limbs. “Stay at home if you are experiencing norovirus symptoms and do not return to work or send children to school or nursery until 48 hours after symptoms have cleared,” the PHE said. To stop the spread, handwashing is important, but, alcohol gels do not kill off norovirus, so soap and water are advised.
The Deputy Director of the National Infection Service, PHE, Professor Saheer Gharbia, said, “Norovirus has been at lower levels than normal throughout the pandemic with less opportunity to spread between people in the community but as restrictions have eased we have seen an increase in cases across all age groups.”
Meanwhile, nearly 40,000 people tested positive with COVID-19 on Monday and more than 3.22 lakh have been infected in the last 7 days in the United Kingdom.

Stokes cracked 78 not out from 57 balls to allow England to declare on 129-3, setting West Indies 312 to win or 85 overs to survive.
Broad took 3-1 on the fourth evening and tore through the top order with three more wickets on Monday to leave West Indies 37-4.
Their recovery came in the shape of a century partnership between Jermaine Blackwood and Shamarh Brooks, who both made fifties.
Stokes produced the breakthrough, having the tangled Blackwood top-edge a pull to a diving Jos Buttler in a sustained spell of short bowling.
Further resistance came from West Indies captain Jason Holder but, when he was bowled by Dom Bess, England could scent victory.
The win was completed with nearly 15 overs to spare, Bess having Kemar Roach caught at short leg to leave West Indies 198 all out and the series level at 1-1.
The only concern for England was the sight of Stokes pulling up mid-over, appearing to hold his groin, late in the day, but he said there are no concerns over his availability for the third and final Test beginning on Friday at the same ground.
