00:00Oh, jams a Yorker and first up, strikes back into the side, an instant success for Luke Wood with a beauty.
00:11Well, Evan Lewis reviewed this straight away, almost ready to take guard again, which was a clear indication that he thought the spikes were an indication that he'd got an inside edge.
00:23OK, ball tracking coming up now, pitching in line, impact in line, wicket's hitting, back on field to Martin, Martin you can stay with your on field decision, you're on screen now.
00:36Like Liam Dawson.
00:41Plenty, plenty of that, just slightly short, rock back.
00:46Well, the boundary sizes here at Bristol are very short straight, so from a spinner's perspective, you don't want to float it up and let them hit you down the ground, so you can see why Dawson.
01:00Clipped away, fine, races away down the hill, and that will be four.
01:04There's some of that power, straight back over, long off, wonderful strike, Shea Hope.
01:22That's gone away fine, Luke Wood was moved around, there was a short third ball then.
01:28Short, and gives himself a bit of room.
01:40Finds the gap again, this time through point for four more.
01:45Well, each time Liam Dawson's been punished today, it's because he's been on the short side.
01:52Oh, it's a touch, Butler's keen, Dawson's keen.
01:58Martin Segers, not so much.
02:04Sliced away, and that'll be a few.
02:07Gracious me, that's gone all the way.
02:14Bump down the ground, that sounded sweet.
02:18Yeah, that's a biggie, Kars hits the turf as well.
02:22There, Miles.
02:24Heaved away, leg side, man in the deep, it's going to be over his head, six.
02:28Straight back to Bethel, who I don't think gets a hand on it.
02:39He's one of England's better fielders, he might even have been taking evasive action.
02:42Dragged down from Rashid, I think he thought he was coming, pawned over the bar by Luke Wood.
02:55A very, very difficult chance.
02:58Could have backed him up.
03:00Very difficult.
03:03Beauty, absolute beauty from Rashid.
03:05Joss Butler does the rest.
03:08He is a magician.
03:16It's outstanding, with the control of length.
03:19The true She-Hoop into the forward.
03:32Well, by the time that decision was put up on the big screen.
03:35He does get it past Wood this time.
03:41Just a slight adjustment from the previous ball.
03:44High it goes.
03:50Tom Banton.
03:52And we had the most beautiful sight of that right in front of our commentary position.
03:58Banton just setting himself.
04:00Didn't quite get it right, Shane Rutherford.
04:03He just opened the face again.
04:06But he wants to hit it down the ground and it meant he slightly mistimed it.
04:10Rashid does it as well as anyone.
04:13Well, he's tossed this one up and he's going to pay the penalty.
04:18It was a beautiful strike.
04:20It's been coming.
04:23Got him.
04:25Really good from Luke Wood, who back in the side today after missing the opening game at Durham.
04:31Dawson.
04:33Smashed away and smashed into the gap.
04:40Well, he's got that.
04:43That is a mighty strike.
04:50Well, that's a moral victory for Dawson.
04:52I don't think Rashid will catch that.
04:55It's beautifully bowled, but that's T20 cricket if you're a bowler.
04:58He's beanie, by the way.
05:02Carved away, carved away for four.
05:0420 from the over.
05:05That's an excellent one for West Indies.
05:07They needed it.
05:08141 for four.
05:10Sounded good.
05:17Sounded magnificent.
05:20Well, he's butchered that and that has gone a very long way.
05:28And he's got that too.
05:31But not enough of it.
05:32Great catch from Luke Wood.
05:35Had to make good ground away to his left.
05:37Had to be aware of where the boundary cushion was.
05:40But he has done it on occasions.
05:41Well, that has not started well.
05:44He's gone out the front of the hand and it's gone over the stand.
05:52Six more.
05:54That's the danger if you do throw it up as a spinner here at Bristol.
05:58Goes again.
06:03Banton.
06:04Can he get there?
06:05Don't think so.
06:07No.
06:07No.
06:08Terrific effort.
06:10Terrific effort.
06:15That's another one.
06:17What an over this is for West Indies.
06:21Last ball of the 19th.
06:24There we go again.
06:25That's a monster.
06:26That's still going.
06:31That is quite an extraordinary over from West Indies.
06:39And that's been powered down the ground.
06:43Absolutely smoked.
06:46This is fantastic from West Indies.
06:51Well, bold.
06:52Deceived.
06:53Out.
06:54Run out, I think.
06:55Good from Butler.
06:56Good from Wood.
06:58Respite.
06:59To a point for England.
07:03And you totally accept that from Romario Shepard.
07:09Deep in his crease.
07:11Off to the offside.
07:12Slam down the ground.
07:13He's hit his first ball for six again.
07:16Two games on the spin.
07:18What an end for West Indies.
07:1916 from the last over.
07:22Against a lot of these guys.
07:23And played with quite a few.
07:24So, you kind of actually get to know a lot of players.
07:28Not just, obviously, through international cricket.
07:30How it used to be.
07:31So, um...
07:33Smith goes high again.
07:36And should be out this time.
07:38Moti, good catch.
07:40Just had to steady himself with that gusting wind and the ball swirling around.
07:46He takes a good one over his left shoulder.
07:49And Jamie Smith, an early victim today.
07:52Almost a repeat of the...
08:00In the power play.
08:04Well, he's such a wonderful player.
08:06Oh, burst through the hands.
08:14It was hit so firmly by Duckett.
08:16On that reverse hit again.
08:19Evan Lewis there.
08:22I think he got a hand too.
08:23It will take a look at the replay.
08:24But it's another boundary to Duckett.
08:30And Butler, as he did up at Durham very early on.
08:35Taking on that straight boundary.
08:37Mid-off and mid-on are up inside the circle.
08:40Well, if you saw him up at Durham.
08:54Nicely done.
08:56Field is set quite square on the offside.
08:59Because Duckett's strength...
09:03Oh, ho, ho, ho.
09:05The invention.
09:07The invention of the modern player.
09:09West Indies bowlers.
09:11Has been dispatched legside by Joss Butler.
09:15Welcome to the attack, Alzari.
09:20We've got that protection now on the offside.
09:22Butler goes down the ground.
09:26Lovely.
09:27Stand and deliver.
09:32Hasn't got it.
09:33But he might have got away with it.
09:34No, he hasn't.
09:35Oh, what a catch.
09:37What a fantastic catch.
09:39And Rodman Powell had to make a lot of ground away to his left.
09:45Great ground.
09:48Away to his left.
09:50Always been a terrific fielder.
09:54Little slip late in the piece, but...
09:55Fantastic piece of work.
10:03Good bowling too.
10:03Bowling to your field.
10:04Field set correct.
10:08That's not got all of it.
10:11This should be taken in the deep.
10:12Difficult one.
10:13Because of the wind, because of the wind, it was swirling and Johnson Charles out there in the deep couldn't cling on.
10:20And that could be a massive miss.
10:22Wave the ball at them.
10:26That's not a great over, you've got to say, from Romario Sheppard.
10:30Very good one for England though.
10:32And it's half cheering.
10:43Races on for a couple.
10:52Good bounce throw from Sheffain Rutherford.
11:06It's a cry for catching, but Jason Haller can't get there.
11:10That's a very fine shot.
11:16Very fine strike.
11:23Powell tracking it.
11:24Powell tracking it.
11:25And takes it.
11:27Another very good catch.
11:30It would seem.
11:33And the angle across Harry Brook, who hit one down there for six.
11:38Now he perishes.
11:40Yep, second good catch in the same corner of the ground from Rothman Powell.
11:45Who is quick across the ground.
11:48Good change from Roston Chase.
11:50Bit wider.
11:53Tees off straight away.
11:58For six, welcome.
12:05No one stopping that.
12:07Very good innovation from Tom Banton.
12:16And he's down here to the pod.
12:17And Banton is in a no-nonsense mode.
12:2219 from just six deliveries for him.
12:28That is hit so well.
12:34Very, very well.
12:36These are two audacious shots from Jacob Bethel.
12:48Into the crowd, it goes again.
12:55This is some ball striking.
12:57And that's how you catch it in the crowd.
13:00To the safe hands of Roston Chase.
13:08And after a couple of withering blows.
13:13Jacob Bethel goes.
13:15Oh, wow.
13:30Wow.
13:31He gets away with it.
13:32Holder thought he had them all in there.
13:34But Banton gets a little bit of wood on it.
13:41Chance and take it again.
13:43And Roston Chase with another good catch.
13:46This time away to his right.
13:52Another wicket for Alzari, Joseph.
13:54They have been coming at a cost in the last couple of overs.
13:58But it is wide up off Stambert has.
14:06No, it goes full Yorker.
14:08Worked into the onside and timed beautifully by Tom Banton.
14:15Before.
14:20Edged away.
14:21And that will bring about victory for England.
14:25The domination of the West Indies continues.
14:28Through from the Wanda Internationals.
14:30Into the T20 series.
