0.1
Wood to Lewis, out Lbw!! A perfect yorker, appeal for LBW, it's given by the umpire and Lewis has reviewed it straightaway, has he got an inside edge? Looks stone dead otherwise, looked like a couple of sounds, but is it bat hitting the ground? There's a big spike when the bat hit the ground, but there's a clear gap betwen bat and ball as well. 'No bat' says the third umpire. Onto ball-tracking: It's three reds and Lewis is OUT. He walks off unhappy, but think this was a good call from the 3rd umpire, full and swinging in late, Lewis tried to jam it out and missed, the impact was in front of middle and it'd have crashed into the off-stump.

Lewis lbw b Wood 0(1)

Retarded review another hard day for wi

So you get out first ball of the match and take a review with you when to the natural eye in real time no way the ball touched the bat. Lewis and his opening partner (Johnson) who should have told him to walk back to the pavillion, should be ashamed of themselves.

And Lewis vex baad...but he was out

Lewis waited 48 hours to walk in fresh, LBW called, he reviewed it and walked back in to wait for the slaughter.
We lost all 3 ODI’s
We lost the 1st T20 but can we hope for a win today?
Seems as tho Hope heard me.

1.5
Dawson to Shai Hope, SIX, cracking shot, fraction short and at the stumps, Hope picks the length early, swivels across and then hammers the pull over mid-wicket, went soaring ov er the ropes for a maximum

would not blame an opener for reviewing first ball LBW in a T20 game!

Reviews are extremely valuable. It was not close, it was a ridiculously stupid review.

WI 12/1 (3) CRR: 4

Johnson Charles 2(9)
Shai Hope 9(9)

3.2
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, FOUR, nicely played, too straight from Carse, on the pads and it's clipped away behind square on the on-side, used Carse 's pace and beat the man inside the ring

3.3
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, SIX, crunched, back-to-back boundaries for Hope - overpitched by Carse, Hope presses forward, gets his left leg out of the way, holds his shape on the lofted drive and clears the mid-off boundary with ease

3.4
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, FOUR, make that three boundaries in a row, Carse shortens the length, but there's width on offer and ut's steered behind point, the fielder in the deep is pretty square and has no chance

Sammy’s shadow stinking up the place
Less than Evin though

Ray Charles putting on a clinic... world class batting this

4.1
Dawson to Charles, FOUR, cracking shot, dropped short by Dawson - Charles backs away, opens up the off-side and then crashes the cut past cover for a boundary

4.3
Dawson to Charles, FOUR, lovely, Dawson drags the length back, it's slower and shorter on off, Charles backs away, opens up the off-side and beats backward point wth the cut

A loud shout for caught behind, Buttler was convinced, so was Dawson and England have reviewed. Was drifting down leg and Charles was shaping for the sweep, close to the glove, need UltraEdge on this: Has it flicked the glove on its way to the keeper? No, a flat line and England lose a review as well

I was definitely shouting at the teevee

This is why cricket lags behind other sports…even all knowing athers was averse to giving a wide upon review and

5.3
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, SIX, smashed, fuller length delivery outside off, Hope comes down the pitch, makes room and then slices the carve over extra-cover, went high and went well over the ropes for a maximum

5.5
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, SIX, lovely, overpitched by Carse, Hope backs away, opens up his body and then hammers the drive high over mid-off, went a long way into the stands
