Starts at 1830 UK time. Should be an exciting match. Lots of big hitters in both teams.

 

[Suleiman]

I'm so far removed. There's a huge college (american) football game about to start here in few hours which everyone is hyped for, and I will be watching some one off t20 game hundreds of miles away.

But I don't care, cricket > any other sport.

What a shot by Walton. Haven't been impressed with him in internationals so far but that was a beautiful six

 

[Protea Fan]

Not watching the game but surprised with roots bowling figures

West Indies falling away now

And out... Good bowling by England's best spinner.

 

[Markhor]

Gayle and Lewis were hitting boundaries for fun but WI have been pegged back since.

 

[Markhor]

Hales has been in great form for Notts this season. Swinging at everything here.

 

[Zaz]

WI look disinterested in the field like they dont want to be there

 

[CanadianG00se]

Root is such a mediocre T20 player. Comparing him to King Kohli is such a blasphemy 2


Whats with IPL music being played in background

 

[Zaz]

pretty much every WI fielder has his hands in his pockets

I know its not ideal time of the yr weatherwise but at least show some professionalism

 

[Markhor]

WI clawing their way back with some quick wickets, Morgan gone now.

 

[CanadianG00se]

England players collapsing

Bit of pressure and England will choke like theres no tomorrow

 

[Markhor]

Good spell from Narine, not giving any freebies away.

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[Markhor]

WI should wrap this up now. Narine has bowled superbly tonight.

 

[Hasan123]

WI have done enough to win this game. Well done to them.

 

[Markhor]

Good match, Windies showing why they're T20 champions.

Three spectators have been injured after the partial collapse of a temporary stand at the Twenty20 international between England and the West Indies at the Emirates Riverside in Chester-le-Street.

The incident took place in the north-east corner of the ground shortly before 9.30pm, while England were batting. Photographs appeared to indicate that a section of the floor in the temporary stand had caved in, and there were reports that a female spectator was injured after falling through the hole in the floor.

An ambulance was seen arriving at the back of the stand shortly after the incident. The entire section was evacuated and sealed off by stewards as a precautionary measure. Around 200 spectators who were sitting in that section were moved to empty seats in other parts of the ground

In a statement, Durham County Cricket Club said:

“During the course of the second innings between England v West Indies at Emirates Riverside, three spectators were injured when a small section of the North-East Terrace flooring became unstable causing them to fall.

“Stewards took precautionary action and evacuated that area of the stand efficiently. The stand is a permanent fixture at the venue and had passed inspections in the week prior to the match.”

The Emirates Riverside has hosted 26 international games since opening in 1995, during which temporary stands have been a regular fixture. The venue was recently barred from hosting Test cricket by the England and Wales Cricket Board after Durham encountered financial difficulties and were forced to accept a bailout to remain in business.
