Live Cricket Score - Windies vs England, 2nd ODI, Barbados
Post-match thoughts
Jason Holder: Really pleased. We played a really good game. Credit to Hetty, he set it up nicely for us with the bat. On a sticky wicket, we got a good total and credit to our bolwers the way we defended it. I knew that I had to take a wicket. I just wanted one to change the momentum. We had the belief. We pushed from there. It gave us the momentum, put England under pressure. Credit to the boys. We need options in this day and age, with the big scores that batting teams score in modern ODI cricket. Cottrell has added variation - he is a wicket-taker and very enthusiastic, love his energy. It's good to see the youngsters stepping up. Credit to the batters - they did really well, but we probably could have got some more runs. And they probably can't hear me, but a special thanks to the crowd as well.
Shimron Hetmyer, Man of the Match: (When asked what was the conversation with Bravo at the start of his innings) Just keep going, try to rotate as much as possible, get a partnership going. Just trying to open up more sides - still a work in progress. I'm trying to change my approach, trying to bring different dimensions to the game. Our mood was good as usual. The guys believed in themselves. He (Sheldon) did a fantastic job to take five wickets. The salute was actually for my girlfriend. I just try to do the good things that I do when she's around.
Eoin Morgan: We did a lot of good things today. Two games into the pitch, we made a lot of improvements. I thought 290 was well within our capabilities. The run-rate was never an issue. Windies deserved to win. My first time facing him (Cottrell), different challenge - swinging both ways, and he comes back with variations with the older ball. Collectively, we have to chase down in partnerships. In international cricket, you really need to nail it when you are on top, we failed to do that.
Windies level series 1-1
Windies bowlers produced some late drama as Sheldon Cottrell's maiden five-wicket haul helps Windies seal a series-levelling win. There were solid half-centuries from Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes but Windies bowlers made a sensational comeback in the last ten overs to snatch the contest from the visitors.
England made an absolutely horrific start with both openers falling to Sheldon Cottrell with just 10 on the board. While Jonny Bairstow had a first-ball lbw, Jason Roy chopped one back on to leave the team wobbling. Eoin Morgan and Joe Root steadied things and put the chase back on track with a half-century stand. Root was the aggressor and gave the England captain enough cushion to settle in after a slow start. However, Root fell to Oshane Thomas - caught behind trying to cut a wide one - as England slipped to 60 for 3.
Having being pushed on the backfoot, Morgan launched a solid counter attack and picked up the scoring rate. He took on Ashley Nurse and Oshane Thomas to ease the pressure and reached his half-century in the 25th over. Chris Gayle was brought into the attack and even he was dismissed over the boundaries as England continued to march towards the target. The Stokes-Morgan collaborating fetched England 99 and the duo really imposed themselves on the bowlers to transfer the pressure back on Windies. Cottrell produced another moment of brilliance he dismissed Morgan for an 83-ball 70.
England were 159 for 4 at that stage and needed 131 more to seal the contest. Jos Buttler got going quickly as the next 9.4 overs produced 69 runs to put England within touching distance. However, with ten overs to go and 62 more needed, England lost their way. Stoke fell to Jason Holder and five runs later Buttler to succumbed to the Windies captain. Tom Curran was trapped lbw the first ball he faced as the side slipped from 228 for 4 to 233 for 7. Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid got the equation down to 40 off the last five overs before Cottrell came and sealed the game for Windies.
Bowling the 47th, the left-arm pacer first had Rashid caught behind on the third ball and then two balls later bowled Moeen to complete his maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs.
Windies one wicket away ... Too much pressure on Moeen and Rashid and it showed. Cottrell completes his five-wicket haul to leave England reeling. They need 29 in the last three overs.
40 needed of the last five overs ...
