England vs West Indies, 3rd T20I

Give me more Muddies, less bajans. Dwl

WI 66/2 (6) CRR: 11 REQ: 13.07
West Indies need 183 runs in 84 balls

Shimron Hetmyer 26(7)
Shai Hope 18(12)

6.3
Jacob Bethell to Hetmyer, out Caught by Duckett!! End of Hetmyer. He wanted to take down the SLA. This is cleverly bowled, wider and fuller outside off, makes Hetmyer fetch the loft, not enough elevation and it's a simple catch to long-on. Again Duckett the man.

Hetmyer c Duckett b Jacob Bethell 26( [4s-1 6s-3]

7.1
Adil Rashid to Rutherford, out Caught by Wood!! Straight to deep backward square-leg. Rutherford had an issue with his hamstring while fielding. Maybe this affected him. This is a length delivery on middle, Rutherford ghoes low to swing to leg, another top-edge and it's an easy catch to Wood who doesn't have to move. WI losing their way.

Rutherford c Wood b Adil Rashid 1(4)

Less Muddies ... ďwl more Yaadies.

We are roughly 50 runs behind where they were after 10.

Looks like Rovman finally figured out how to bat spin.

“ England has never lost to African opponents before!”… says the tv as Senegal goes 1:2 up!

11.3
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, FOUR, ffour over extra-cover now. Length delivery on middle, Shai Hope backs away and cuts hard and high over extra-cover, was the slower-ball off-cutter too
11.2
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, FOUR, and again. Shai Hope shuffles across his stumps, then sees the full delivery outside off, reverse-scoops wide of short third man, this time just four
11.1
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, SIX, audacious. Length on off, Shai Hope pre-meditates the reverse-scoop and gets it all the way over third man, to do that against such pace takes some doing

11.5
Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, out Caught by Buttler!! Shai Hope's grunt shows how he was disappointed. This is a length delivery and following him outside the leg-stump, he tries to flick and the thick leading-edge goes straight up. Simple catch for Buttler. Brydon Carse kept it at the body and cramped Hope for room.

Shai Hope c Buttler b Brydon Carse 45(27) [4s-3 6s-3]

WI 119/5 (12) CRR: 9.92 REQ: 16.25
West Indies need 130 runs in 48 balls

Romario Shepherd 0(1)
Rovman Powell 23(15)

12.5
Adil Rashid to Shepherd, out Caught by Brook!! What a set of 3 balls that is. 44mph, slower and looped up on off, asking Shepherd to have a go, he checks his drive and Brook dives forward at cover to take a fine catch. That was dipping on him and he took it inches from the ground

Shepherd c Brook b Adil Rashid 0(5)

Jacob Bethell [2.0-0-12-1] is back into the attack
14.1
Jacob Bethell to Holder, SIX, tossed up full on off, in the slot, Holder gets forward and lofts all the way over long-on, a spectator tries to catch it but falls on the seats. Hopefully he is OK. Such a clean swing of the bat from Holder

14.2
Jacob Bethell to Holder, 1 run, tough chance and Jacks at long-on diving forward can't hang on. Holder comes down the track and lofts, a flat hit that and Jacks nearly pulled it off

14.3
Jacob Bethell to Powell, FOUR, no fine-leg and Powell plays that well. Length delivery outside off, Powell gets across and paddles it there

14.5
Jacob Bethell to Holder, SIX, to long-on

WI 149/6 (15) CRR: 9.93 REQ: 20

West Indies need 100 runs in 30 balls

So Rovman protecting his wicket by hiding from the strike.

15.2
Brydon Carse to Powell, FOUR, to long-off
15.1
Brydon Carse to Powell, FOUR, length delivery outside off, off-pace, Powell gets forward and powers it flat and wide over mid-off, one bounce over the ropes

Use of the slower ball...

This hurts..

Ill have my say on a few things…

Sigh.

17.1
Wood to Holder, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! A steepler and gone. Length on middle and leg, Holder swings and it's up in the air, Carse at deep square-leg takes it safely as he got under the high ball. End of a cameo from Holder.

Holder c Brydon Carse b Wood 25(12) [6s-3]

17.4
Wood to Motie, out Caught by Will Jacks!! Good catch by Jacks at long-on. Dug in short outside off, Motie flat-bats the pull and doesn't have the power, Jacks gets across to his right and dives forward on the slide to catch it nicely. Judged that so well.

Motie c Will Jacks b Wood 1(2)
