With this win, England sealed the series 2-0. The final match of the series will be played on June 3rd at 12 pm GMT. Fans can join an hour early for match buildup and updates. Until next time, Cheers!
Harry Brook, England's captain, praised Joe Root, saying he's only getting better and is an asset to the side. He commended Will Jacks, describing him as a proper batter with a wide range of shots. Brook emphasized the importance of having depth in the batting lineup, especially with a quality batter at No. 7. He also highlighted the team's camaraderie, noting they're willing to fight for each other, which reflects in their performances. Brook ended on a high note, expressing satisfaction with winning his first series as captain.
West Indies captain Shai Hope expressed disappointment that Jewel Andrew struggled to get going, but was pleased to see the absence wasn't felt as other batters like Brandon King and Keacy Carty stepped up. Hope noted that Carty's talent had finally translated into consistency, which bodes well for the team. However, he acknowledged that his side fell short by around 30 runs. Hope praised the bowlers for their efforts, highlighting the challenge of trying to restrict the chasing team in such conditions and the importance of taking wickets.
Joe Root, the player of the match, reflected on the thrilling win, saying it was satisfying to come out on top after his team was struggling at 2 for 2. He praised the wicket, noting it was tricky at times but ultimately made for an exciting game. Root commended Alzarri Joseph's bowling, highlighting his ability to extract the most out of the surface. He also appreciated key partnerships, particularly Will Jacks' exceptional play, which helped set up the win. Root expressed his desire to continually improve, fueled by his passion for the game. He concluded by praising Harry Brook's impressive start to the series, noting his ability to perform under pressure and set his team up well even on difficult days.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier today, West Indies batted first and posted an impressive total of 308, thanks to Keacy Carty's century, Shai Hope's 78, and Brandon King's half-century. England's bowlers had a mixed performance, with Adil Rashid and Saqib Mahmood picking up 4 and 3 wickets, respectively, while others, barring Potts, chipped in with a wicket each.
West Indies' bowling wasn't quite up to par, but Alzarri Joseph was a standout performer, taking a four-wicket haul and troubling the English batters with his bodyline attack. He was a menace! Justin Greaves and Gudakesh Motie went wicketless while others chipped in with a wicket each, but it wasn't enough to make a significant impact.
The team, though, faced a setback with Harry Brook and Jos Buttler's quick dismissals, but Jacob Bethell and Root showed some resilience with a decent partnership. However, the game-changing moment came with Root and Will Jack's 143-run stand for the 6th wicket. Although the team lost a few wickets in the final stages, Root and Adil's sensible 24-run partnership for the 8th wicket sealed the win and put all doubts to rest. Root's class was on full display and he ensured that he was there to smash the winning runs for his side.
The home side's chase got off to a shaky start, losing Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith for just 2 runs. However, Harry Brook and Joe Root steadied the ship with a solid 85-run partnership, before Brook fell just 3 runs shy of a half-century. It was then up to Root to lead the charge and see England through!
England wins this by 3 wickets and 7 balls to spare. Joe Root's masterclass is the highlight, as he expertly steers England to a convincing win in the end. England's victory is well-deserved, thanks to Root's brilliance.

OUCH! That must have hurt Adil Rashid but he takes one for the team. Short-pitched, into the rib cage of Adil Rashid. Instead of going for the pull and giving something to the fielders out in the deep he decided not to throw his bat at it and gets struck on the rib cage. Brave from Adil Rashid.
