Dwayne Bravo to Stokes, FOUR, Morgan was in the firing line there. Stokes gives the charge to Bravo, spotted the slower delivery and drilled it past the non-striker, Morgan showed good agility to get out of the way
18.1 -
A Russell to Stokes, FOUR, Charles almost pulled off another stunning save. Slower ball which is short in length, Stokes swivels and pulls to backward square, Charles dives to his left and gets a hand, but Stokes had packed enough power behind that
17.0 -
Benn to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, poor delivery to end the over. A giveaway really. Full toss on off, Morgan stoops a bit low to get underneath that, tonks it over his partner, long-on dives in vain. Just the over England needed after Brathwaite's tidy over
12.2 -
Dwayne Bravo to Root, FOUR, for once Russell has been beaten. That is something you don't associate with him. Full toss on middle and leg, Root drives along the ground towards long-on, Russell does the hard work of getting there, but doesn't bend down enough to stop the ball, through his legs for four
9.0 -
Brathwaite to Hales, FOUR, bad delivery to end the over. It was looking like a good over, but that full toss just ruins it. On off-stump, Hales fetches it from there and whips it behind square, beating deep square leg comfortably
8.4 -
Brathwaite to Root, FOUR, there was not a boundary scored for a while and Root knew that. Charges down and picks the slower delivery, hacks it over mid-wicket, giving long-on no chance
4.5 -
A Russell to Root, FOUR, Russell is livid with himself. It is a poor follow-up delivery, strays this down leg, Root glances it fine and gets himself off the mark with a boundary
3.4 -
Badree to Hales, FOUR, hat-trick of fours. Short and outside off, Hales had the width to free his arms, cracks the cut in front of square, pierces the packed off-side field
3.3 -
Badree to Hales, FOUR, consecutive boundaries. Tossed up on the stumps, the length is full and Hales picked it early, kneels down and sweeps it over backward square, middled it and no need to run for those
3.2 -
Badree to Hales, FOUR, freebie and Hales doesn't miss out. He was struggling to get his timing right and this might help him to get going. Full toss on middle and leg, Hales sinks down and tonks it over backward square, couple of bounces and into the fence
3.0 -
Jerome Taylor to Jason Roy, FOUR, top shot! The length was full alright, but the line was on leg-stump. Roy says thank you very much and helps himself to a boundary, clips it handsomely to the right of mid-on and the ball races away. Costly over, 18 off it and England starting to move on
2.1 -
Jerome Taylor to Jason Roy, FOUR, first boundary and out comes the DJ. Shorter and on off, sat up nicely for Roy, who transfered his weight onto the back foot and pulled it through mid-wicket, Brathwaite had no chance in the deep
19.5 -
Dwayne Bravo to Moeen Ali, SIX, palmed over. Bravo is not happy with the effort. Holder is the culprit. Another off-speed delivery from Bravo, Ali hoicks it towards deep mid-wicket, Holder, the tallest man in the West Indies side, leaps and parries it over. Did all the right things apart from pouching it
19.1 -
Dwayne Bravo to Eoin Morgan, SIX, nice way to start the final over. Looked like a mishit. But the bats these days, takes it over the ropes. Slower delivery from round the wicket, Morgan swings across the line, just about clears the long-on fence
18.3 -
A Russell to Stokes, SIX, he has middled this. Length delivery in the swinging arc, Stokes gets his front leg out of the way for him to get a free swing of the arms, heaves it over cow corner for a maximum
17.3 -
Dwayne Bravo to Buttler, SIX, smoked! Buttler picked the bones out of this slower ball. Bravo landed it on the swinging length, Buttler clears his front leg and mows it over deep mid-wicket
16.2 -
Benn to Buttler, SIX, Buttler just launched into that. Benn drags it short, Buttler goes deep in the crease and pulls it over deep mid-wicket. Into the second tier once again. What has Benn got now?
14.5 -
A Russell to Eoin Morgan, SIX, that's been dispatched. Into the second tier. Banged in halfway down the wicket, Morgan at no point in time looked to keep the pull down, hit it in the air and it went soaring over the long leg fence for a maximum
13.4 -
Badree to Buttler, SIX, Buttler is dangerous at this stage of the innings. This should get him going. Jumps out of the crease, gets to the pitch of the leggie and smashes it way over the long-off fence. Stood there and admired the shot
10.1 -
Jerome Taylor to Root, SIX, fantastic hit! Nice way to bring the 50-run stand. Length delivery on off, Root played the pick up shot beautifully, timed it to perfection as the ball sailed over the deep mid-wicket fence
6.5 -
A Russell to Root, SIX, hammered! Banged in halfway down the wicket, Root was waiting for it on the back foot, stoops a bit low to get under it and smacks the pull over backward square. The pace of Russell took the ball way back into the crowd
20.0 -
Dwayne Bravo to Moeen Ali, out Moeen Ali Run Out!! 1 run completed. Ali falls for the team's cause. Morgan was always coming back for the second. The throw was at the striker's end and Ali was not even in the frame. Full delivery on the stumps, flicked away to deep mid-wicket, Holder gets to the ball and releases it quickly, Ramdin does the rest. England finish with 182. Moeen Ali run out (Holder/Ramdin) 7(2) [6s-1]
19.4 -
Dwayne Bravo to Stokes, out Lbw!! That is smart bowling from Bravo. He has his man and is delighted with that. Stokes was completely outdone by the slower delivery, it dipped on him and hit him on the back pad. He was attempting another heave to the leg-side. Didn't pick the off-cutter this time. Stokes lbw b Dwayne Bravo 15(7) [4s-2 6s-1]
17.5 -
Dwayne Bravo to Buttler, out Caught by Brathwaite!! That's a gifted wicket. For a moment, I thought it was once again into the crowd. However, Buttler has picked out the fielder. A full toss at knee height, on leg-stump as well, all Buttler could do was heave it to deep backward square. Brathwaite didn't bother to move forward, stood his ground and took it inches from the ground. He should have taken it more easily. Buttler c Brathwaite b Dwayne Bravo 30(20) [6s-3]
14.2 -
A Russell to Root, out Caught by Jerome Taylor!! Huge wicket this. And it is once again that man, Andre Russell who provides the breakthrough when his team needs it the most. It was a nothing shot really. Just short of good length and on middle, Root moves away to the leg-side, tries to go over mid-off, gets it almost off the bottom of the bat, spoons a simple catch to Taylor at mid-off. Root c Jerome Taylor b A Russell 48(36) [4s-3 6s-2]
11.1 -
Benn to Hales, out Bowled!! Cleaned 'im up. Benn is pumped up. Roars after castling the batsman. "This is Sulieman Benn at his best," shouts an elated Darren Ganga. Hales's dodgy innings come to an end. He never looked in. It was the quicker delivery, right in the blockhole, Hales was making room to go inside out, is outfoxed by the length, is late to bring his bat down, the ball sneaks through and crashes into the base of off-stump. Hales b Benn 28(26) [4s-4]
4.3 -
A Russell to Jason Roy, out Caught by Badree!! There's the first wicket. West Indies needed that as the partnership had started to look threatening. Roy is not happy with himself. Bangs his bat on the ground as he walks back to the dugout. Short of a length delivery on off, Roy for some reason does not go full throttle on the pull, plays a half-hearted shot towards mid-wicket, Badree moves forward and pouches a good low catch. Roy rolled his wrists to keep it down, but why do that in the powerplay? Jason Roy c Badree b A Russell 15(15) [4s-2]
13.1 -
Badree to Root, 1 run, direct-hit and Root was gone. The slider on the stumps, Root ekes out an inside edge onto the pad, the ball trickles to the right of the bowler, there was a slight hesitation and that almost cost him. Badree moves across, picks the ball and shies at the bowler's end, missed and Root lives on
0.2 -
Jerome Taylor to Jason Roy, 1 run, there you go. Fullish and hint of away movement, Roy allows the ball to do its bit and pushes it to mid-off, sets off for a risky single. Bravo charges forward and shies at the bowler's end, had he hit Roy would have been on his way back, he missed and Roy survives
