Jamie Overton to Motie, out Caught by Brook!! The slower ball deceives him all ends up. Superb variation from Overton after a barrage of short-pitched stuff.

Adil Rashid to Jayden Seales, SIX, oh good hit! it's tossed up from Rashid and lands right in the slot within the stumps. Too much of a tempter for Seales to turn down, he uses the long handle and tonks it over midwicket

Jamie Overton to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR, short of length at the body, and Joseph pulls it with a good bit of control behind square. Overton has generally managed to make the WI batters very uncomfortable with this length, but not this time as Joseph swivels across and gets it away

Brydon Carse to Jayden Seales, FOUR, short ball, outside off, Jayden Seales drags the pull down to long-on for a four. The man at mid-on was wide and that fielder was beaten easily

Jacob Bethell, Player of the Match:
It is pretty special. Putting in a great performance was special. I enjoyed batting in the middle order. Today was easy when I came in to bat as we were on top. I back myself once am I am in. Dot balls are never good for a batter's mind. It is perfect I get a few boundaries early on. I learnt a lot. I felt the experience was beneficial. I am a better batter than I was two months ago. Virat was great with his experience.

Hope:
We didn't get the early inroads that we were after. You play catch up when you don't pick wickets with the new ball. You gotta back your skills. They were striking at 8 at one stage and we let it slip in the back end. We need to do some work. Some assessment needed. More down to the execution. The bowelrs can execute at the training. This is international cricket, you need to execute at your best. We always had the quality. 400 is a tough task. We didn't start well with the bat either. We needed a good start to chase down 400..

Harry Brook:
That was a very phenomenal performance from the boys. Same thing I have been saying to the press. Just score big runs as a batting unit. Bowl to the dimensions as a bowling unit. As a fielding unit, just stay committed and chase the ball. Four of us got fifty plus and it was a complete performance. I think we got so much power as well. Set the template beautifully. The tempo of the innings was spot on. There was lot of energy on the ball. Mahmood bowled beautifully. Same with Overton. Nice to get the series underway in good fashion.
