Live Score - England vs West Indies
England did not need to break a sweat in the chase as Bell and Ali gave them a good start. Ali missed out on a fifty but Bell, sort of batted well for the Ashes and Taylor chipped in with a good cameo since after a point of time, Bell just did not wish to score. A very good day for them and they will be confident going forward. West Indies will hope to turn the tables around soon and try to compete at least. Do join us for the game between India and Afghanistan tomorrow at 0900 IST. Until then, it's goodbye and take care.
A comprehensive win for England, you'd say West Indies are yet to arrive for this game, the way they played today. Winning the toss and batting first, they never got going and lost their way to get bowled out for 122. Lendl Simmons was the lone fighter for the Windies as Woakes took a 5-for.
