ENG vs WI Live Cricket Score

8.5 OUT! Redemption for Root, he takes a fine, fine catch! In the last few shots, timing was eluding Gayle and eventually he has thrown away his wicket. Tries to go big over the off side again, like on the second ball of this over, but ends up slicing it in the air over covers. A completely miscued shot, Root runs back from inside the ring, keeps his eyes on the ball and grabs a terrific catch with a dive. Roooooooooot, goes the crowd! He must be a relieved man, dropped Gayle in the first over when he was on a duck. Not much damage done, one will say, although a start has been given by him! 53/2

5.3 OUT! And Ali strikes gold! Although he gets lucky. It's a half-tracker served by him, sliding down the leg side, Lewis tries to pull it but to his dismay he hits it straight to square leg. Hales makes no mistake and England taste first success. 45/1

23.2 OUT! That's a great catch from Jonny Bairstow! Already making his contribution coming into the side. Short of a length delivery angling into the body, Shai Hope pulls it over square leg. It's hard and flat, not enough height on it which gives Bairstow a chance at this. Standing in the deep, he moves to his right and times his leap to perfection to catch the ball in his safe hands. Big wicket, it's come at a good time too for England. 103/3

25.2 OUT! Stokes gets his man! He had been displaying some good pressure bowling, and now, he gets the desired result. Bowled a superb over before drinks, then dismissed Hope in his next one in which he gave away just 1 run, and now, is bowling an excellent over again. This wasn't exactly a wicket taking delivery though, angling down the leg side, Marlon goes after it to tickle it fine. Loud appeal from Buttler and Stokes, but the umpire turns around and signals a wide. The review is quickly taken by Eoin Morgan and Ultra Edge shows that Samuels gets some glove on it. So he's gone, Stokes has the last laugh in this battle. Terrific bowling from the all-rounder. Just shows what pressure can do to a batsman. 107/4

32.2 OUT! Rashid strikes! Tosses it up nicely on the stumps, Mohammed adjusts inside the crease and positions himself for the slog sweep. He connects, gets good elevation but not enough distance. Straight down the throat of Alex Hales at deep mid-wicket who takes a fantastic catch. Another wicket down for the Windies. 149/5

33.2 OUT! Woakes bags his second! Bowls it full on middle, Powell looks to loft it over mid on but can't as he doesn't play it with enough conviction. Chips it towards David Willey who collects an easy catch running behind a little to his left. 150/6

36.4 OUT! A few dot balls, pressure building and Ashley Nurse looks to break the shackles. Lofts the full ball over extra cover but doesn't connect as well as he'd have liked. Root from wide long off runs to his left and takes a good catch. The Windies' innings is dying a slow death. 160/7

40.4 OUT! BOWLED! The change of angle works. Willey from over the wicket bowls a wicket-to-wicket line delivery. Bishoo leans forward and across to paddle but misses and it's the left-arm pacer who sweeps his wicket. 187/8

41.5 OUT! Back of a length ball on the stumps, Taylor makes some room by backing away and gets a top edge behind. Lobs into the gloves of Jos Buttler who takes the simplest of catches. 202/9

4.2 OUT! West Indies needed an early breakthrough and they've got it. Alex Hales is gone! Back of a length on off, Hales makes a little room and cuts hard. Can't keep it down and it flies straight into the hands of Evin Lewis at point. He fumbles at first but then takes it comfortably on the second attempt. Can the Windies snatch a couple of more wickets quickly to get back in the game? 31/1

23.4 OUT! Drags it on. Williams gets a wicket against the run of play. A wicket too late for the Windies. Back of a length ball on off, angling in and cramping the batsman for room. Joe tries to play late from the crease, maybe attempting to run it down to third man but ends up dragging it onto the stumps. It also brings the curtain down on the century partnership. 49 more needed for a win! 156/2

27.1 OUT! Gone, caught behind! Zippy delivery, a touch short and around off, skidding off the surface, Morgan pushes inside the line, maybe trying to play it late but it takes the outside edge and settles safely into the gloves of the keeper. All too late for the Windies. 30 more needed off 89 balls. 175/3
