England [226/6] defeat West Indies [225] by 4 wickets in the 2nd ODI to take a 2-0 series lead

[Rayyman]

West Indies won the toss and elected to bat

Both teams are unchanged

 

[Rayyman]

West Indies 35/2 (10.1 ov)

 

[Rayyman]

Evin Lewis and Kieran Powell are out

Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope are batting

 

[Rayyman]

WI going slow here.

 

[aloo paratha]

Boring match..

 

[HitWicket]

Wish England had batted first instead.

 

[TestMatch]

Gosh, this is an awful WI team. Kieron Powell, a cricketer turned baseball player turned fashion model turned cricketer again, epitomizes the waywardness of this team.

 

[Ab Fan]

As boring as hell!

 

[Rayyman]

Ben Stokes has gotten Hope out. Mohammed in now.

 

[Rayyman]

Moeen Ali gets Brathwaite for 42(72)

 

[Rayyman]

2nd consecutive 50 for Mohammed.

 

[HitWicket]

Mohammed and Hope both look good prospects for the WI.

Mohammed is 30 lol.

 

[Rayyman]

Holder and Brathwaite batting now.

182/6

 

[Rayyman]

by Brathwaite

 

[Rayyman]

Poor from WI.

All out for 225 in 47.5 overs.

 

[TestMatch]

WI are just an atrocious ODI team. Holder and Carlos might as well bat up the order, because they're better than the top order and only end up throwing their wickets away when forced to late-game slog.

 

[Markhor]

Jason Roy's potential is limitless. Seems like he's been playing for England for years. How was he not in the 2015 WC squad ?

 

[Abdullah719]

Bishoo hurting us again.

 

[HitWicket]

Pitch is turning! Root's gotta see it through now.

 

[Rayyman]

Looks like England have this in the bag. They require another 86 runs with 4 wickets and 20.4 overs remaining. Not to forget that Rashid and Plunkett are both capable bowling all-rounders.

 

[Protea Fan]

Root showing his quality,though a long way to go

 

[Protea Fan]

Root is the key here,if he gives up now then eng are done

 

[TestMatch]

With Gabriel's sudden injury, and inability to bowl more than 3 overs, West Indies have no chance of picking up more wickets.

 

[HitWicket]

I'm putting by money on a dodgy umpiring decision coming up for one team or the other. New debutant umpire and both teams lost their review by the 25 over mark. Can feel it coming.

 

[Hasan123]

Clutch innings from Root

 

[Hasan123]

Bishoo hurting us again.

Joe Root is saving us though

Joe Root is saving us though

Always thought he was a nice guy.

England ensuring Pakistan on course to automatically qualify for the world cup.

He thinks that his team can beat the West Indies. In reality, they would get destroyed.

 

[HitWicket]

Class from Woakes.

Although he's just nicked Root's chance at a 100!

Not sure if Root is particularly interested in scoring a ton here. He's scored 28 out of an 88-run partnership!

 

[Hasan123]

Quality knock from Woakes as well. A solid and reliable performer in all formats .

 

[HitWicket]

Woakes or Root motm?

Team man.
