Player of the Match

Phil Salt

103(54)

Right then, the first game of this long T20I series is done and dusted and it's advantage England early on, especially with the manner of this win but there's a long way to go. The next game will be played at the same venue and less than 24 hours later on Sunday, 10 November at 8 pm GMT. You can join us a lot sooner though for the build-up to that game. Cheers!

The captain of England, Jos Buttler says that it was a fantastic performance and he is really delighted for the boys. Mentions that they know what to expect from West Indies and it is important that you keep taking wickets. Further says that if you allow the West Indies batters to spend time out in the middle, they can really hurt you. Appreciates Phil Salt by saying that he has taken his game to new heights and he is reaping the rewards of the work he has put in. Mentions that the wicket was a bit two-paced early on and he is glad that they could strike early with the ball in the Powerplay. Ends by saying that the message to the boys has been to go out there and enjoy themselves.

Rovman Powell, the captain of West Indies says that it is generally the way they play but it didn't come off tonight and yet they managed to get a decent total on board. Reckons that losing wickets in clusters is something they need to fix going forward and they still need to back themselves and play their brand of cricket. Adds that it is about the guys working on their individual skills with the ball and applauds Akeal Hosein for his tight bowling. Ends by appreciating the crowd as well.

Phil Salt is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his stunning ton. He says that he enjoys batting here and has grown up playing on these surfaces. Mentions that it is important to adjust quickly to meet the demands of the tempo of T20 cricket. Shares that opening and closing of the grip have helped access different areas of the field. Lauds Jacob Bethell by saying he is a huge talent and hopes he continues to do well for England.

The Presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, the returning English skipper, Jos Buttler opted to bowl first as there was moisture on the deck and Saqib Mahmood backed him up with a quick three-wicket burst early on. West Indies did counter through Nicholas Pooran but it was the lower order that did most of the damage as Russell, Shepherd and Motie all made scores of 30 plus and took the hosts to a fairly substantial total. Saqib ended up with a four-fer as Adil Rashid picked up 3 wickets as well. In reply, Phil Salt ran the show with the bat and we also saw the greatness of a rising star in the form of Jacob Bethell. However, both sides seem to have lost a player to injury as Reece Topley frustratingly left the field early in the game and then Andre Russell was seen hobbling back to the dressing room as well late in the game. Hopefully, both of them are fit for the next encounter.

West Indies had the runs on the board and would have been decently happy at the halfway stage but England's batting in the Powerplay just blew them away. The hosts conceded 73 runs in the first 6 overs and picked up one wicket which did become two in the very next over but that was it. They just couldn't handle the heat from Salt and Bethell and succumbed to a hefty defeat.

Phil Salt's love affair with the Kensington Oval continues and on a ground where he spent a lot of his younger years, he has yet again put on a stellar performance with the bat, notching up his 3rd T20I ton as well. He was amply supported by young and feisty Jacob Bethell who too has a connection to this venue and Bethell picked up a half-century as well. The pair added 107 runs for the 3rd wicket in just 61 balls and completely hammered the opposition bowlers en route to victory.

The highest-ever successful run chase in a T20I game at the Kensington Oval! A resounding victory for England to kick off the five-match T20I series and if game 1 is anything to go by, we are in for a treat all throughout the series.

Romario Shepherd To Jacob Bethell

There it is, Jacob Bethell with the winning runs! England complete a dominant chase! Coming to the delivery, this is banged into the deck, on middle and leg, Jacob Bethell rises with the bounce and pulls it firmly to the right of deep square leg and comes back comfortably for the second run. England win by 8 wickets with 3 overs to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series!

16.4

Romario Shepherd To Jacob Bethell

SIX! WOW! That is a shot of real authority! Angling across the batter, on a length, Jacob Bethell stays low to make the connection and stays leg side of the ball. Thumps it as he goes inside out over cover and picks up a six. The 100-run stand comes up between these two batters. England are just 2 runs away now.

16.3

Romario Shepherd To Jacob Bethell

This is on a short of a length, slower and on middle, Jacob Bethell swivels for the pull but fails to connect and wears it on the body.

16.2

Romario Shepherd To Phil Salt

On a back of a length, on off, Salt slaps it down the ground to long off for a single.

16.1

Romario Shepherd To Phil Salt

HUNDRED FOR SALT! A knock of the highest order from Salt. Third T20I hundred of his career and all of them have come against West Indies. Romario Shepherd goes searching for the yorker but ends up serving a low full toss, on middle, Salt drills it down to long on where Rovman Powell gets around to his left and tumbles but lets it get past him and it trickles into the fence. Salt sets off on a celebratory run, takes the helmet off and soaks in the applause from the crowd and his teammates.

15.4

Shamar Joseph To Jacob Bethell

MAIDEN T20I FIFTY FOR BETHELL! And what a special moment to achieve it here in Barbados, where he spent the first 14 years of his life. Joseph bowls a nagging length delivery on middle, and Bethell sits deep in his crease, attempting a big heave across the line. He skies it high, but the ball drops safely in front of an incoming Shimron Hetmyer at deep mid-wicket.

15.3

Shamar Joseph To Jacob Bethell

SIX! Massive hit! Off-pace delivery but a bit too straight and not short enough to trouble the batter. Jacob Bethell stays put and just helps it over the deep fine leg fence for a biggie.

14.6

Gudakesh Motie To Jacob Bethell

A bit comical that from Rovman Powell and the batters get three runs whereas it should have been a dot. Full and angled across off, Bethell squeezes it off the outer half of the bat to short third where Powell casually lets the ball through and chases it down but while picking it up, the ball gets knocked further ahead by his left boot and he has to dive in to save the boundary.

14.5

Gudakesh Motie To Jacob Bethell

Floated up on the pads, flicked away straight to square leg.

14.2

Gudakesh Motie To Jacob Bethell

Flatter trajectory, bowled short on off, Bethell rocks back and punches it across in between long on and deep mid-wicket, picking up a couple of runs.

The ball is going to be changed now. The selection has been made from the box of balls and we are all good to go now.

14.1

Gudakesh Motie To Jacob Bethell

FOUR! Jacob Bethell keeps throwing caution to the wind and picks up another boundary. Darted across wide of the off stump, Bethell sits down and slashes the ball off the outer half of the blade in between point and short third for a boundary.

Change of ball? The two umpires get together to inspect the ball and seem to be happy with the condition of it for now.

13.5

Romario Shepherd To Phil Salt

Takes some pace off that one and bowls it short at the body, Salt controls the pull well and hits it down to deep square leg for a single.

13.4

Romario Shepherd To Phil Salt

SIX! On a nagging length on off stump, Salt stays back inside the crease, and swivels to pull it away towards deep backward square leg. Sherfane Rutherford leaps and does get a hand to it but it is not enough to prevent the maximum.

13.3

Romario Shepherd To Jacob Bethell

Top effort in the field that by King! Overpitched and outside off, Bethell hangs deep an backs away before drilling it wide of mid off. Brandon King there dives to his right and pounces on the ball, saving three runs for his side.

13.2

Romario Shepherd To Jacob Bethell

FOUR! Sheer power there from Bethell. Length and on the stumps, bowled as a cutter, Bethell stays back inside the crease and slaps it over extra cover and picks up another boundary.

Full and targeting the pads, Bethell comes forward and eases it away wide of long on for a single.

FOUR! Cunning plan there from Motie but to no avail. Sees Bethell step down the track, immediately changes his line and length, fires it down fuller and wider on off. Bethell stretches out and just manages to get some bat on it. It evades the keeper and the ball rolls over to the boundary.

12.3

Gudakesh Motie To Jacob Bethell

Once again, Bethell trying too much here. Flatter delivery on the pads, Bethell looks for the reverse sweep but gets hit on the body instead.

11.3

Andre Russell To Phil Salt

SIX! That's gone all the way! Andre Russell with a juicy full toss on the pads of Phil Salt and he just picks it up and flicks it flat over deep fine leg for a six. Salt moves into the 80s now.

Andre Russell To Jacob Bethell

Drinks break! This has been a real devastating showing with the bat thus far from Phil Salt and he is single-handedly taking England close to the win. West Indies need wickets and they need them soon to get back into this contest. Can they manage to stage a comeback? Let's find out...

6.4

Romario Shepherd To Jos Buttler OUT!

OUT! WHAT A GRAB! Gudakesh Motie, you freak! Jos Buttler goes for a golden duck! Romario Shepherd bends his back and digs it in short, on off. Jos Buttler tries to ride the bounce as he goes for the full-fledged cut shot. The ball bounces a little bit more than he expected and it flies off a thickish outside edge down to deep third. Motie is a few yards in off the ropes and he does well to run sideways to his left instead of running in. He realises that the ball is going over his head and sticks out his left hand over his head. Plucks it out of thin air and he ends up losing his footing there near the ropes but he manages to keep himself away from the boundary cushions.

6.3

Romario Shepherd To Phil Salt

Miscued but safe! Rolls his fingers over the ball and keeps it on a back of a length, around off, Salt shapes up to launch it down the ground with a horizontal bat. Slices it in the air but luckily for him, it lands in front of long off. A single taken.

6.2

Romario Shepherd To Phil Salt

6.1

Romario Shepherd To Phil Salt

Pace taken off and it is banged into the deck, on off, Salt is early into his pull shot and he fails to connect.

OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! It has come at a cost but Motie has provided West Indies a much-needed breakthrough! Motie angles it in from around the wicket, full and around off, Will Jacks gets down for the sweep but the ball skids off the deck and scoots under his bat to clatter into the stumps. At the end of the Powerplay, England are 73/1, needing 110 runs in 84 balls.

5.5

Flatter and shorter, on off, Salt hangs on the back foot and punches it to mid off.

5.1

Gudakesh Motie To Phil Salt

SIX! BOOM! Motie gets greeted into the attack with a maximum! Darted in, on a nagging length, on off and middle, Phil Salt clears his front leg and creates a strong base for himself before lifting it up and over the long off fence for a six.

Just flights it up a touch and bowls it on the stumps, this is played back to the bowler.

That is a sensational stop from Evin Lewis in the field. Full and outside off, driven away hard and to the left of cover-point where Lewis springs across and makes a brilliant stop.

4.2

Akeal Hosein To Phil Salt

Oh, that could have been a catastrophic way to get out. Pushed through around off, driven away on the up and towards extra cover. Salt looks for one but is sent back and has to bring out the dive to ensure safety.

FOUR! Wow, 24 off that over and the 50 is already up for England. Short and wide, there to be hit and Phil Salt cuts it away with disdain, well in front of square and finds yet another boundary.

3.5

Shamar Joseph To Phil Salt

FOUR! A hat-trick of fours now and there's nothing wrong with that delivery, just top batting from Salt. Nagging length around off, angling in, Salt leans on and drills the straight drive on the up as the ball rockets between the bowler and the stumps to the fence.

Andre Russell To Will Jacks
