Narper 2025-06-08 13:04:13 

England have won the toss and have opted to field

Shai Hope says he'd have bowled first as well, mentions that Akeal Hosein is back into the playing XI, he replaces Andre Russell.

Harry Brook wins the toss and opts to bowl first. They'll have a look at Luke Wood who makes it into the team today, he replaces Matthew Potts

Come allyuh

 
Narper 2025-06-08 13:31:33 

Lewis and Charles are at the crease.
Lewis is on strike.
Wood will open the attack

Gawn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

 
JoeGrine 2025-06-08 13:35:15 

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.

 
Narper 2025-06-08 13:35:41 

In reply to velo

And Lewis vex baad...but he was out

 
netgrouchy 2025-06-08 13:41:22 

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.

 
Narper 2025-06-08 13:42:33

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

 
camos 2025-06-08 13:44:56 

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

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

 
Narper 2025-06-08 13:51:45 

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

 
Narper 2025-06-08 13:52:29 

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

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

 
Narper 2025-06-08 13:57:29 

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

Adil Rashid to Shai Hope, out Stumped!! Beautifully bowled and Hope has been stumped here. Lovely deception, slwed down the pace on this leg-break, the drift dragged Hope forward and then the ball dipped and spun past the outside edge - the right-hander was lunging forward and he's wekll outside the crease when Buttler broke the stumps, the 3rd umpire has a cursory look and sends him on his way.

Wood to Charles, out Bowled!! He's dragged one back onto his stumps and the well-set batter has been dismissed - on a good length and pushed across the right-hander, Charles moved across and then tried to work it onto the on-side, but the ball catches the inner half and clatters through his legs, onto the stumps. Fair play from Wood as well, saw Charles shuffling across and followed him with the angle.

Wood has been superb with the ball today,. he's chipped in with the catching as well - was a full ball and was well wide of off, Powell saw the width and went hard handed on the drive, played with an open face and carved it over cover. Wood ran to his left in the deep, covered the line and slid to complete a fine two-handed catch.

Shepherd to Duckett, out Caught by Powell!! Superb catch this by Powell at long-on. Shepherd keeps taking wickets. A slower-ball dug in short on off, Duckett pulls and it was going away from Powell, he runs and then dives to his left to take it two-handed. Even a tiny slip doesn't deter him as he hangs on while on the ground. Such safe hands and that's a top top catch.

Alzarri Joseph to Buttler, 1 run, dropped by Charles at deep mid-wicket. Such a casual effort too. Got two chances to catch that and puts it down. Buttler makes room to pull, it's a big top-edge and it's straight to Charles, he goes reverse-cup, drops it, has a go at the rebound, misses that too, pretty sure, Alzarri Joseph won't be impressed. The crowd cheer sarcastically after Charles drops it

Shepherd to Brook, FOUR, hammered over extra-cover now. A slower-ball leg-cutter outside off, Brook makes room and slaps that hard, one bounce over the ropes, picked the slower-ball really well

Roston Chase to Brook, out Caught by Powell!! Another good catch by Powell and this game is now in West Indies' grasp. The move to give Roston Chase the ball works. Brook punches the bat with his glove and then slams it on to the pad as he leaves in disappointment. This is full and wide outside off, away from the hitting arc, Brook slices the loft and Powell runs to his left and reverse-cups it

A glimmer of hope for West Indies?
