England have won the toss and have opted to field

Repeat of yesterday???

Our openers must deliver

Our bowling attack....... two newbies

Rostan Chase
Romario Shepherd,
Akeal Hosein,
Gudakesh Motie,
Matthew Forde,
Terrance Hinds

Hety needs to tell them he got personal issues and leave that team... time to move on from CWI.

CPL, GSL and IPL is enough.

In reply to anthonyp

Dem continue to push Hety around...

He will play later in Lucia

In reply to Narper

Others failing match after match but still in the team... de man dominated the CPL and got a single match.

Pack of jokers running CWI. Hety needs to move on.

In reply to Narper

They drop Hety after his 1 ball duck
Haha

0.3
Jofra Archer to Lewis, FOUR, streaky! But West Indies and Lewis have their first boundary. Short of length and nipping away, Lewis is unsure whether to play or leave, he hangs his bat out outside off and the outside edge flies wide of the slip fielder

In reply to anthonyp

Hety get drop wow

In reply to allan

And no Hope
haha

Brandon gawn
6/1

In reply to anthonyp

1.2
Saqib Mahmood to Brandon King, out Caught by Livingstone!! Mahmood strikes with his second ball. He's having a good time in Barbados. Poor shot from King though.

Brandon King c Livingstone b Saqib Mahmood 1(3)

WI 6/1 (1.2) CRR: 4.5

In reply to Chrissy

Hetty in next game for King next game

1.3
Saqib Mahmood to Pooran, 5 wides, Mahmood does not adjusted to the left hander. Strays down leg and the ball keeps swinging further down,

In reply to Narper

Haha
I know should have stuck with Jacob Bethell

In reply to Halliwell

In reply to Narper

No issue here. King playing like he wants a drop.

In reply to anthonyp

They do Hetty dirty, he is the scapegoat.

16/2 from 2

Evin Lewis 4(6)

Saqib Mahmood
1-0-9-1

2.2
Jofra Archer to Lewis, FOUR, poor delivery and Lewis dispatches it to the fence. 135.1ks short and angling down, Lewis swivels and pulls it backward of square

Lewis gawn Archer

2.3
Jofra Archer to Lewis, out Caught by Philip Salt!! That's an excellent riposte from Archer. He corrected his line and length. Goes short of length and extracts the extra bounce, Lewis is surprised but decides to play, the ball hits the glove and lobs to the left of Salt, he moves across to take a simple catch. Both openers back in the hut and West Indies in some early trouble

Lewis c Philip Salt b Jofra Archer 8(9) [4s-2]

WI 20/2 (2.3) CRR: 8

2.4
Jofra Archer to Roston Chase, FOUR, dropped! Tough chance but Overton got his hands to it. Another back of a length delivery that rears up outside off, Chase goes chasing after it outside off and steers it off the outside edge to first slip.

25/2 from 3

Nicholas Pooran 1(4)
Roston Chase 5(2)

Jofra Archer
2-0-15-1

Fourrrrr Chase

3.2
Saqib Mahmood to Roston Chase, FOUR, glorious shot! Full pitcher and swinging away, but Chase gets a good stride forward and allows the ball to swing before creaming it through extra cover. That's how you play a swinging ball

3.4
Saqib Mahmood to Roston Chase, FOUR, fumble and Chase gets his second boundary. Not as full as the boundary ball but Chase drives on the rise, straight to cover and Curran makes a mess of it

West Indies review! Chase is given out LBW. He has a word with Pooran and decides to challenge the onfield call. He keeps showing Pooran where the ball hit him.
3.5
Saqib Mahmood to Roston Chase, out Lbw!! West Indies don't lose a review. But Chase has to go. He looked good in his small stay but this was a fine delivery from Mahmood. Good length ball and nips in sharply, Chase plays down the wrong line and is beaten on the inside edge, struck on the back pad and ball-tracking shows it to be clipping top of middle-stump. It was a wobble seam delivery,

Roston Chase lbw b Saqib Mahmood 13(7) [4s-3]

WI 35/3 (3.5) CRR: 9.13

Nice English pitch this.

In reply to Narper

Today, we won’t be so lucky to get to 182. We will struggle to make 140-150.

Toss is significant in these conditions.

4.1
Jofra Archer to Pooran, FOUR, , angled down leg, Pooran tries to help it along the way but misses, the ball deflects off the thigh pad and beats the chasing fielders

4.2
Jofra Archer to Pooran, no run, that's an ugly slog. Good length ball around off, Pooran swings across the line and is beaten on the under-edge

Saqib Mahmood to Powell, leg byes, FOUR, some extras for West Indies. These are handy runs. Mahmood strays in line and ends up down leg, Powell misses the glance and the ball brushes the thigh pad on the way. "That is the 16th extra for the innings," informs Carlos Brathwaite

In reply to Narper

Yes Rovman, lash Livingstone

Liam Livingstone, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack

10.1
Livingstone to Powell, FOUR, pressure releaser. Much needed for Powell and West Indies. Livingstone starts with a half tracker, Powell rocks back and nails the pull in front of square - right between deep mid-wicket and long-on

In reply to Halliwell

Batting till #11....Hinds could lash ball

That was pure shite from Poor Ann

Shite for the game
Shite for the fantasy

Livingstone to Pooran, THATS OUT!! Stumped!!
10.6
Livingstone to Pooran, out Stumped!! The partnership is broken. Pooran is livid with himself and punches his bat as he walks away. He had to get on with things and hence decides to give the charge, Livingstone saw him coming and shortened the length, Pooran tries to keep the ball from going past him but it spins away, beats the outside edge and Philip Salt does the rest behind the stumps. Livingstone enjoyed that and celebrates with a fist pump

Pooran st Philip Salt b Livingstone 14(23) [4s-1]

Pooran gawn

Gwaan Rovman and 'earn' your place as the skipper.

12.1
Livingstone to Powell, SIX, to deep mid-wicket massive! That's landed on the roof. Wrong line from Livingstone. He lands the leg-break around leg-stump,, Powell clears his front leg and heaves it with all his power over deep mid-wicket. The umpires have called for a replacement ball..

In reply to pooranian

If he pelting he pelting hard
If he not pelting he better take care of that shoulder

England review! It is for a LBW against Rutherford.
12.6
Livingstone to Rutherford, out Lbw!! That's a good review. Livingstone was confident. Philip Salt wasn't sure if the ball straightened. Buttler goes with his bowler and it works. Tossed up, the ball lands on leg-stump and straightens, Rutherford misses the sweep and is struck right in front of the stumps, ball-tracking shows it to be smashing into middle-stump. Umpire Gregory Brathwaite thought it was going with the angle and hence did not raise his finger.

Rutherford lbw b Livingstone 1(5)

WI 80/5 (13) CRR: 6.15

In reply to Narper

Dotish umpire trying to equalise the bad decision on Chase and muck it up further

Don’t know how that umpire say Rutherford is not out

That is a straight forward plumb decision

No Motie yet?

13.4
Mousley to Shepherd, FOUR, angled across, outside off, the batter looks to block but gets an edge. The ball flies fine for a four. Windies will take it any day

14.2
Adil Rashid to Powell, SIX, and lands on the cushion! Was a tossed up delivery, outside off, Powell expands his arms and slams the drive on the up and wide of the man at long-off. The fielder ran to his left only to see the ball landing on the cushion

14.5
Adil Rashid to Powell, 2 runs, to backward square leg
14.4
Adil Rashid to Powell, 2 runs, to deep extra cover
14.3
Adil Rashid to Powell, 2 runs, tossed up delivery, outside off, Powell preempts the paddle and gets it fine for a brace

Yeah might be easy unless some bowler plays out of their skins in the power play

Rovman like he ent see that ball. No foot movement and the gap remained

I feel this done

15.3
Mousley to Motie, FOUR, fails to land it, at 116.2 kph, Mousley gives away a four here. That was a low full toss, Motie backed away and slapped it wide of deep cover for a four. Nice way to get things started

15.6
Mousley to Motie, FOUR, fuller length delivery, outside off, Motie looks to unwind for a big heave. The ball takes the edge and goes fine. The keeper had no chance. Motie trying to do an encore from game 1

17.3
Adil Rashid to Motie, byes, FOUR, to third man

How do we get 60+ from 3 overs?

In reply to Windiesfan78

It’s pretty poor so far

Maybe the bowlers can bring respectability to the day, the fans and the coaching think tank

17.5
Adil Rashid to Motie, out Caught by Jamie Overton!! Finally connects but holes out at long-on. That was another googly. Motie sat down and looked to slog sweep, the ball went off the top-edge and the man at long-on came in to take it

18.3
Sam Curran to Forde, FOUR, the man at long-off dived, palmed it and the ball was pushed down to the long-on cushion. Was a fuller ball, outside off, Forde creamed it down the ground. He did well to get under it

18.6

In reply to Windiesfan78

Waaaaah Hosein peppas Salt and he disolved. First ball duck
0/1

0.1
Akeal Hosein to Philip Salt, out Caught by Brandon King!! Uh Oh! Worst possible start for England. Little bit of bounce, Philip Salt looks to drill the first ball and finds the man at cover. The man at cover leapt a little up and took it easily. He was enthralling yesterday but fails today. First one down and Akeal Hosein sets the tone for the hosts. Huge strike indeed. The fielder did fumble it once before grabbing it on the second attempt

That was an off key field there for Forde, set a deep man for the bad ball rather than the bowling -concede 8

1.6
Forde to Will Jacks, FOUR, on a length, outside off, Will Jacks flays at one outside off and punches it between cover and mid-off for a four. He focussed on timing it and placing it and did well. Second boundary for Will Jacks

Forde to Buttler, FOUR, back of a length delivery, outside off, Buttler flays at it and gets an edge. The thickish edge goes to the right of the man at short third man. The fielder dived but failed to stop it

Shepherd to Buttler, FOUR, outside edge and trickles over the fence. The batter danced down, looked to slog and got it off the edge. Motie was trying to give it a chase but the ball won the race

5.4
Shepherd to Buttler, SIX, straight down the ground for a sixer. Muscled down the ground as he got hold of the slower delivery. He waited on the delivery and held his shape to slam it down the ground. Fifty up for the English side

I told wunna it would look like a different pitch when England bats, stupseeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Shepherd to Will Jacks, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
12.1
Shepherd to Will Jacks, out Caught by Forde!! Taken on the second attempt! Jacks looks very disappointed as he drags himself back to the dressing room. Full ball outside off, strikes it firmly down the ground, doesn't get much elevation and it's straight down the throat of long-off.

Will Jacks c Forde b Shepherd 38(29) [4s-5 6s-1]

12.3
Shepherd to Buttler, no run, dropped! Slower length ball very wide outside off, Buttler goes chasing and slaps it hard to cover where Rutherford fails to hold on. He's hit high on the palm and seems to be in a bit of pain. Buttler struck that quite hard and it was travelling

12.4
Shepherd to Buttler, out Caught by Powell!! Gone this time. Buttler's brilliant knock comes to an end as Shepherd picks up two in the over. Very full and wide outside off, Buttler looks to hit down the ground but miscues it off the toe-end.

Ironic that Shepherd is now bowling seam up with older ball. Thos is how he should have bowled the final powerplay over ..... looking for wickets rather than trying to defend a meagre total

Terrance Hinds [1.0-0-15-0] is back into the attack
13.1
Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, 1 run, 136.7kph, short of length outside off, Livingstone pulls it to deep midwicket

13.3
Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, byes, FOUR, poor from Pooran behind the stumps. Didn't look like he was concentrating well enough. Full delivery just outside off, Livingstone looks to launch it down the ground but it tails in and beats him on the inside edge. However, Pooran is not up to it. He clumsily looks to grab it with his left hand but gets nowhere near it

13.5
Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, FOUR, low full toss wide of off, Livingstone goes after it, opens the face and slices it past short third

Shepherd to Livingstone, FOUR, looks to go for the wide yorker but it's right in the slot outside off. Livingstone goes hard and crunches it wide of long-off. Just eight more needed for England

14.5
Shepherd to Livingstone, SIX, and he finishes it off in style! Low full toss outside off, Livingstone swings hard and muscles it over the cover boundary
