Obed McCoy to Philip Salt, FOUR, Philip Salt gets off the mark in style!

0.3
Obed McCoy to Philip Salt, leg byes, FOUR, that's sloppy!Fullish delivery swinging down, Philip Salt looks to flick it across but it deflects off his pads towards square leg. Salt looks for a run. The throw from the fielder is a wild one and it flies over the keeper and through to the fence

0.5
Obed McCoy to Philip Salt, FOUR, shot! Pitched up on middle and leg, swinging in, Philip Salt lofts it over the bowler's head and picks up a boundary. Didn't overhit it

Akeal Hosein to Philip Salt, FOUR, poor delivery and it's punished! Short and wide, asking to be hit, Philip Salt obliges and cuts it over covers to get the desired result

Keep your cool Alzarri

2.3
Akeal Hosein to Philip Salt, SIX, Philip Salt off to a flier! Another dragdown, this time on off-stump, Philip Salt rocks back and pulls it with aplomb over cow corner for a flat maximum

Obed McCoy to Philip Salt, 1 run, to square leg

3.2
Obed McCoy to Will Jacks, FOUR, to deep extra cover

Thought batting first wasn't easy.

Coach seems to have ran out of ideas.

In reply to Narper

Instead of starting off with Akeal as the norm

Sammy in deep thought...another loss for genass Sammy

Team looks uninterested, unmotivated and demoralized.

4.1
Alzarri Joseph to Will Jacks, SIX, hammered! In the slot around off, Will Jacks clears his front leg and tonks it over long-on for a maximum. Was pace off this time and Will Jacks read it to perfection

4.2
Alzarri Joseph to Will Jacks, 2 runs, back of a length ball seaming in from outside off, Will Jacks mistimes the swipe through mid-wicket. Some good running between the wickets allows the batters to take a couple

England 50 up in the fifth over....

4.3
Alzarri Joseph to Will Jacks, no ball, 1 run, another hard length delivery on middle and leg, Will Jacks backs away a bit and hits it to the left of deep backward square leg. Alzarri Joseph has overstepped and a Free Hit is coming up...

4.3
Alzarri Joseph to Philip Salt, no run

Too many chopping and experimenting.

In reply to Narper

Alzarri strikes!

Jacks out cheaply again.

4.6
Alzarri Joseph to Will Jacks, out Caught by Pooran!! Alzarri Joseph strikes! 137.9kph hard length delivery angling in towards leg-stump, Will Jacks gives himself room as he tries to swipe it across but only manages to get a top-edge behind. Pooran moves to his left and accepts it gleefully. Jacks was done in for pace there and he has perished. A good cameo from Will Jacks nonetheless.

8.3
Akeal Hosein to Philip Salt, 1 run, has that carried? Fabulous effort from McCoy but he is not claiming the catch. Quicker and flatter, Philip Salt mishits it towards long-off. McCoy covers good ground as he moves in front briskly. He dives full length and it seems to have landed just in front before going into his hands.

8.4
Akeal Hosein to Buttler, FOUR, nicely done! On the shorter side on off, turning away, Buttler gets into a good position and hits it over covers for another boundary
Akeal Hosein to Buttler, SIX,100 up for England in a jiffy! Drifting into Buttler's arc. He stays leg-side of the delivery

Roston Chase to Philip Salt, out Caught by Pooran!! That's as soft a dismissal as it can get! Philip Salt has a wry smile on his face as he walks past his skipper and keeps going towards the dressing room. Was a half-tracker down the leg-side, Philip Salt wanted to pull it too hard but only managed to get a bit of glove on it perhaps. A good take from Pooran behind the stumps and the umpire had no hesitation in ruling it out. End of a brilliant knock from Philip Salt

GAWN....Motie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12.3
Motie to Buttler, out Caught by Roston Chase!! Buttler departs in a bid to keep the momentum going! Disappointment for the English skipper. Buttler switches his stance and Motie delivers a tossed up full delivery outside off. It's there to be hit. Buttler reverse hits it but unfortunately for him. he picks out short third. Chase doesn't make a mistake.

In reply to Narper

Do we have plans for each batsman, do we know their weaknesses and strengths?

Chase, you need to Mousley them. Come on. We not learning as a team.

15.2
Alzarri Joseph to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, deliberate? Could be! Length delivery slanting across just outside off, Jacob Bethell waited for it and just opened the face of the bat to run it down fine, perhaps not that fine as it just went past the keeper

We need wickets, cappo!

In reply to Narper

A bit of a bonus for Motie as it wasn't really a wicket-taking delivery.


Floated up full on middle, ended up being a low full-toss that Livingstone looked to whip over deep mid-wicket, was through his shot just a shade early and it came off the edge. Floated all the way down to Hetmyer down there who took it easily. Livingstone c Hetmyer b Motie 4(6)

Cappo, anyone will tell you, leave a gap in slips and that's where the ball will go. Sigh.

Rehan Ahmed to Hetmyer, out Caught by Livingstone!! A brilliant catch by Livingstone. Hetmyer looks to go big and mistimes it towards deep mid-on. Livingstone charges back from inside the ring, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a well judged catch in the deep.. In the process also hurts his knee, but latches on to the catch. The physio is out in the middle as the fielder walks off the field along with him

A brilliant catch by Livingstone.

Rehan Ahmed to Rutherford, SIX, Rutherford opens his account with a maximum! Rehan Ahmed tosses it up again but unlike Hetmyer, Rutherford has timed it to perfection. Takes the aerial route and clears long-on for six runs. Rutherford is down on the floor as he has got a cramp. The physio is out in the field to have a check on him, hopefully nothing serious

John Turner to Powell, out Lbw!! Three reds, confirms the hawkeye and Powell departs. Maiden wicket in T20Is for John Turner. On a length around middle and off, the ball nips back in and beats Powell's across the line swing. Pitched in line, impact in line and it's crashing into the stumps.

Rutherford hits back-to-back sixes to power West Indies to a 5-wicket win. "This is the highest successful run chase at this venue in T20Is,", says Ian Bishop on air. A juicy full toss by Mousley and Rutherford has nailed it over long-on to take his team over the line. A clean six by the southpaw as he plays a crucial cameo for the hosts. Handshakes all around as the players start walking back to the dressing room

West Indies won by 5 wkts

Good win..avoids a whitewash.. loved the crowd support.
St.Lucians always turn up..

Since cricket is at low ebb in JA, it may be wise to switch the Bangladesh Test from
Kingston to Castries..

In reply to hubert

This may help revive jamaica

In reply to TanteMerle

Maybe..but of late ,Sabina has been used mostly for football. Hope the
facilities are up to snuff th, and the people turn up and make the country look good. but ...

Caan bat Rutherford to the rescue. Chinese say, g8ve me lucky over good.

All that happened is that we managed to bat last finally. These games are no contest when they are won or lost at the toss. Boooorrrriiinngggggggg
