West Indies v England ODI & T20I Series

Some good hitting by Jofra Archer at the death of the England innings.
May well prove inconsequential but nice effort nonetheless. From 24/4 not a bad recovery to reach 263/8.

Alzirri Joseph has been given a 2 match ban because he briefly walked off the pitch during the win over Hope's field placements. After their win against England he made a brief apology.

As it turned out Overton did bowl 4 overs, but I still stand by what I've said. The team balance is wrong, far too many bits & pieces players, England were way off the pace not making enough runs & despite having countless bowling options they neither contained or took regular wickets.
This was an experimental squad with so many first choice players either rested or injured.

Take a bow Phil Salt.
Take a bow.
