| 5.6 : 5.6: Fabian Allen to James Vince, OUT! TIMBER! Fabian Allen strikes again. He gets his second wicket of the over and England are in all sorts of trouble now. Floated, around middle, this one grips and turns away. Vince hangs back and looks to push it away but misses. He gets beaten on the outside edge and the ball goes onto clip the bail over the off stump. Vince cannot believe it. He thinks the keeper might've knocked it with his gloves. West Indies camp is excited. The umpire consults the TV |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Fabian Allen to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Top shot! Full and on off. Ali drills it down the ground for a boundary. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Sheldon Cottrell to Tom Banton, FOUR! Nice and fine! Banton is off the mark with a boundary and that is the delivery he would have wanted first up! Some swing for Sheldon again but the line is on the pads, it is worked fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Fabian Allen to Jason Roy, FOUR! Really nicely played! Short and outside off. Good start after the break for England! Shorter and outside off, this is cut behind point for a boundary. Will this break the shackles for Roy? |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Fabian Allen to Jason Roy, SIX! Smack! That has been nailed! The slog sweep is out, it is nailed over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. Roy has probably decided to step on the gas. 10 from the first three balls after the break. |

| 11.3 : 11.3: Jason Holder to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Fifty partnership up and a much-needed one! The two joined association when the Windies were on top but have taken England to safer shores.

| 11.4 : 11.4: Jason Holder to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Up and over! Edgy but England won't care! Moeen walks across and looks for the leg side. Holder bowls a slower one outside off. Ali swings, it goes off the top edge, over the keeper and into the third man fence. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Romario Shepherd to Jason Roy, FOUR! Yet another fortunate boundary! Everything going England's way right now! Outside off, full, Roy swings on the leg side, he tries to drag it. It goes off the inside edge and down to the fine leg fence. 100 up for England. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Romario Shepherd to Jason Roy, OUT! TAKEN! Finally, West Indies manage to hold onto one and it is their skipper who does so, Kieron Pollard! Roy is unhappy with himself as he knwos that was in the slot. He falls 5 short of a half ton! Fuller and outside off, a slower one. Roy drags it towards long on. He hits it way too flat and the fielder there takes it easily. Can West Indies now build from here? Roy has probably done his job but his side would have loved for him to stay there for longe |

| 13.5 : 13.5: Kieron Pollard to Moeen Ali, OUT! TAKEN! That is not a bump ball and Moeen Ali has to walk back!

This is full and outside off, Ali looks to carve it over point, this though goes straight into the hands of Sheldon Cottrell at short third man. Windies are celebrating but Moeen Ali stands his ground. It is taken upstairs with the soft signal being OUT! Replays show that it has n |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Akeal Hosein to Sam Billings, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and England are losing their way completely here! On middle, Billings looks to sweep, there is extra bounce on this one, it goes off the top edge and Sheldon Cottrell takes an easy catch at short fine leg. |

| 16.2: Romario Shepherd to Chris Jordan, FOUR! This is brilliant by Chris Jordan. A full-length ball, on off. Jordan shuffles across a long way before Romario Shepherd had even released the ball. Luckily for Jordan the ball does not sneak underneath his blade, as he glances it down to fine leg for a boundary. |

| 18.3 : 18.3: Sheldon Cottrell to Chris Jordan, FOUR! Fortune favours the brave they say and well Jordan has the rub of green. A full-length ball, outside off. Jordan swings hard, the ball runs down to the fine leg fence for a boundary. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Sheldon Cottrell to Chris Jordan, OUT! CAUGHT! Chris Jordan's cameo comes to an end here. Full and outside off. Jordan gets under it and lofts it towards long off. This time Jason Holder makes no mistake this time in the deep and takes a sharp catch near the ropes. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Jason Holder to Liam Dawson, OUT! CAUGHT! Liam Dawson looks to find another boundary of his innings but holes out this time. Full length, on middle and leg.

| 0.2 : 0.2: Reece Topley to Brandon King, OUT! That was close! That was not a bad review at all! King could feel very unfortunate here! That could have gone either way! Reece Topley on the other hand, will be delighted, what a return into the side for him. He goes full, this time gets it to shape back in from middle. King looks to drive but misses. This one hits the back pad. A huge appeal and the finger is raised. King reviews straightaway. He maybe feels it is sliding down. The impact is umpire's cal |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Reece Topley to Shai Hope, OUT! HOPE IS WELL SHORT! That is sensational from Topley! He is on fire here. Even when England were celebrating, a player did say that was unbelivable and rightly so. Topley bowls a in dipping yorker on middle, Hope jams it out right off the middle back towards the bowler. Reece gets down and makes a half stop. It rolls behind. Hope feels they can steal a run and goes for it. Topley is back on his feet quickly, takes a few steps towards the ball, then with a dive |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Saqib Mahmood to Darren Bravo, FOUR! Lovely shot! Beautifully timed! Length and on off, Bravo pushes it through covers. This one races away to the fence. |

| 7.3 : 7.3: Moeen Ali to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Moeen Ali takes no impact to have an impact with the ball. Ali has a better stat against the left-handers and he justifies it with this wicket of Pooran. Excellent decision by the skipper to get him on. Short and on off. Pooran swivels on the back foot and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. James Vince charges in and puts in a dive in front of him to gather the ball. Kieron Pollard is the new man in. |
| 8.3: Adil Rashid to Kieron Pollard, OUT! LBW! Adil Rashid sends back the West Indies skipper on a low score. This is a huge wicket for England, they are now well on top of the proceedings.

Adil Rashid is pretty convinced and insists the skipper to take it upstairs and Morgan listens to him. The UltraEdge confirms the bat is absent. The Ball |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Adil Rashid to Darren Bravo, OUT! THREE REDS AND BRAVO HAS TO WALK BACK! Once again, exceptional use of technology by England. This looked close when it hit the pad. It lands around middle and off and turns in slightly. Bravo looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad and rolls on the leg side. The bowler appeals as the batters go for one. The umpire shakes his head. England though review. Replays show the on-field call has to be overturned. |
| 11.1: Moeen Ali to Jason Holder, OUT! CAUGHT! That is a stinger from Moeen Ali! Saw one taken by Fabian Allen earlier on and now Moeen Ali grabs a blinder! Holder can't believe it. He almost has the same reaction as Banton had. He steps out and gets close to the pitch of the ball. Smashes it back towards Ali who puts both his hands up and the ball stays in. England now making quick work of this batting line-up. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Moeen Ali to Odean Smith, SIX! That is power! He has muscled it! A slog sweep and it is right off the middle and it goes over the mid-wicket fence. Smith is only going to play one way so we will be in for some entertainment if he hangs in there for a bit. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: Moeen Ali to Odean Smith, OUT! TAKEN! Odean Smith does not last for long! Ali gets his third and England now are three wickets away. Ali bravely tosses it up outside off, Smith looks to go big down the ground. Does not time it that well, it goes high up in the air towards long off. Vince takes it. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Liam Dawson to Romario Shepherd, SIX! Brute of a stroke! Shorter boundary and he has powered it! Shorter and on middle, this is pulled over the mid-wicket fence. |

| 13.5 : 13.5: Moeen Ali to Fabian Allen, SIX! Over the fence! Tossed up on middle, Allen gets the slog sweep out, he hits it really well and it goes over the mid-wicket fence. That was the big side which means he really hit it well. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Adil Rashid to Romario Shepherd, SIX! That is huge again! Romario Shepherd is hitting it really long! Slightly fuller and it becomes right in the slot. It is hit over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Chris Jordan to Fabian Allen, OUT! CAUGHT! Chris Jordan comes back into the attack and has an impace immediately. Slower, short ball, on middle and leg. Allen stays back and pull it to deep square leg. He does not get the desired distance on it. Tom Banton takes a sharp catch in the deep moving to his right. Akeal Hosein is the new man in. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Saqib Mahmood to Akeal Hosein, FOUR! Nicely played. Hosein goes down the leg side. The bowler sees him and follows the batter with a length ball. Hosein chops it through backward point and bads a boundary. |

| 17.3 : 17.3: Chris Jordan to Romario Shepherd, SIX! BANG! Back of a length, on off. Romario Shepherd hangs back and powers it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. There is a man in the deep but all he can do is admire the shot. |

| 18.6 : 18.6: Reece Topley to Romario Shepherd, FOUR! This boundary spoils a good over for Topley. Touch short and on off. Romario Shepherd makes room and slashes at it. His one hand comes off the blade but the ball has enough power to beat the man in the deep and sneak into the boundary. 30 needed of 6 balls. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Saqib Mahmood to Akeal Hosein, FOUR! In the gap! A full-length ball, on middle and leg. Hosein flicks it through mid-wicket and bags a boundary. |
