Shamar Joseph played the role of devastating finisher at the end of the West Indians' first innings against England at Trent Bridge on Saturday.

The Guyanese tail-ender – who was the only Windies batsman with a strike-rate of over 100 – did some damage to England's scorecard by hitting five fours and two sixes as part of a knock of 33 off 27 balls.

Unfortunately he also caused damage to the roof of the pub in Trent Bridge when one of his huge sixes dislodged a number of roof tiles.

Then the tiles from the roof slid and fell towards the unsuspecting fans, who had to take evasive action.

Joseph was dismissed shortly afterwards when his leading edge was caught against Mark Wood's bowling ball by Gus Atkinson.

One of those sixes resulted in the ball damaging the roof of the Trent Bridge Taverners Club

Several tiles then slid off the roof and fell towards a group of spectators sitting nearby

Joseph's 27-ball knock of 33 runs helped the West Indians close their first innings on 457

But his fine finishing helped the tourists take a 41-run lead after they were all out for 457.

Joshua Da Silva remained unbeaten with 82 runs from 122 balls.

He and Joseph scored a combined 71 runs, the second-highest total ever for the West Indians for the 10th wicket in a Test match against England.

Kavem Hodge was previously top scorer with 120, while Alick Athanaze and Kraigg Brathwaite scored 82 and 48 points respectively.

Before his heroics with the bat, Joseph had ended England's first innings by taking the wicket of Shoaib Bashir.

That was his only wicket in 11.3 overs, in which he bowled at an economy rate of 3.82.
