west indies tour of england, 2025

Jayden Seales to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Jacob Bethell has to go. Was a length delivery, outside off, Jacob Bethell throws his bat at it and edges the ball down to the keeper. Easy take for the keeper. Has been a superb knock but has to go. Was well wide outside off and Jacob Bethell wanted to hit it too hard. Was a faint edge and was an easy grab. Jacob Bethell goes for 82. Jacob Bethell c Shai Hope b Jayden Seales 82(53) [4s-8 6s-5]

Alzarri Joseph to Jamie Overton, out Caught by Roston Chase!! Such a wonderful catch running back. But a bit too late. That was short, outside off, Jamie Overton looked to pull and got a top-edge. The fielder ran back, back-pedalled, took it by running back. Was an excellent catch. That was a tough one by the fielder. England lose a wicket but on course to topple 400. Jamie Overton c Roston Chase b Alzarri Joseph 1(3)

Justin Greaves to Will Jacks, out Caught by Shai Hope!! And taken. Will Jacks falls for 39. Some ray of happiness for the bowling unit. Was a short ball, slower ball, Will Jacks looked to pull and got faint edge on it. The ball took the edge and the keeper dived forward to take it. Good take. Not much of an appeal but that was given out. Will Jacks was looking good but has to go. Will Jacks c Shai Hope b Justin Greaves 39(24) [4s-5 6s-1]

Jayden Seales to Buttler, out Caught by Forde!! Short ball, outside off, dragged down, taken by the man at deep mid. That was pulled away but not timed by the batter. Easy take. That was dragged across the line and not timed by the batter. Buttler just could not time it. Poor shot and he is gone. Buttler c Forde b Jayden Seales 37(32) [4s-3 6s-1]

Jayden Seales to Brook, out Caught by Keacy Carty!! Oh he's found the fielder! It's short and wide, not a great delivery, but Brook holes out in the deep to depart for 58. Slaps it hard in the air, and it carries to deep point where Carty somehow hangs onto it while sliding forward. Brook c Keacy Carty b Jayden Seales 58(45) [4s-5 6s-3]

Jayden Seales to Root, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Seales is delighted as he dismisses Root! Full outside off, makes him reach for the drive and all he can manage is a healthy nick to the keeper. Seales jumps and punches the air in celebration before letting out a big roar. Root c Shai Hope b Jayden Seales 57(65) [4s-5]

Justin Greaves to Duckett, out Caught by Roston Chase!! Brilliant one-handed grab from Chase! He reacts sharply at backward point and sends Duckett packing after a good knock. Fuller than a good length and angling across off, Duckett tries swiping it through the on-side, looking to raise the tempo further, but gets a thick leading edge. It flies and seems to be going above the head of Chase but he leaps and grabs it with his right hand. Duckett c Roston Chase b Justin Greaves 60(48) [4s-6 6s-1]

Alzarri Joseph to Jamie Smith, out Caught by Brandon King!! Out next ball! A short delivery just outside off, Smith pulls it and pulls it off the middle of the bat this time. Arrives quickly onto Brandon King at mid-wicket who takes a sharp reverse cup catch. That ball would have stung his fingers a bit. After a promising start, Jamie Smith departs. Jamie Smith c Brandon King b Alzarri Joseph 37(24) [4s-7]

Adil Rashid to Alzarri Joseph, out Bowled!! I guess the googly and Alzarri Joseph has been bamboozled. That was tossed up, Alzarri Joseph looked to get forward and push at it. The ball slipped through the gate and slammed into the sticks. Windies are all-out here. Rashid has been very expensive but has his second wicket. Alzarri Joseph tried his best but has fallen. England take a 1-0 lead as they win this by a huge margin. Alzarri Joseph b Adil Rashid 12(19) [4s-1]

Jamie Overton to Motie, out Caught by Brook!! The slower ball deceives him all ends up. Superb variation from Overton after a barrage of short-pitched stuff. It's floated up just outside off, Motie's eyes light up as he goes for a lofted drive but he's through the shot too early. Skies it off a thick edge and guess who settles under it? That man Brook for his fifth catch. Motie c Brook b Jamie Overton 18(11) [4s-3 6s-1]

Jamie Overton to Forde, out Caught by Saqib Mahmood!! West Indies are sinking in a hurry. Dug in short, Forde tries to take it on with the pull shot but it gets big on him and takes the top-edge to third man. Second wicket for Overton who's peppering the opposition with his hit-the-deck bowling. Forde c Saqib Mahmood b Jamie Overton 1(3)

Adil Rashid to Jangoo, out Caught by Brook!! Sharp catch from the England captain - his fourth of the evening - and Rashid owes this wicket to him. It's a poor delivery as it's dragged down short around off, and Jangoo pulls it hard. But Brook shows superb reflexes, diving to his left at short midwicket and grabbing it low.Jangoo c Brook b Adil Rashid 14(25)

Jamie Overton to Roston Chase, out Caught by Will Jacks!! He was lucky to survive the previous ball, but not so lucky this time. Overton has bounced him out. Pounded into the pitch on a short of length, Chase's response is a meek pull shot, doesn't get hold of it at all and offers a dolly to deep square leg. Roston Chase c Will Jacks b Jamie Overton 9(13) [4s-1]

Jacob Bethell to Jewel Andrew, out Caught by Brook!! Top catch from the skipper!! Flat delivery that was spinning away. Andrew pushes at it and hits it a tad uppishly to the left of Brook at catching cover. He leaps like a salmon and ends the night for the debutant. The fielding standard in this ODI has been superb. Jewel Andrew c Brook b Jacob Bethell 8(7) [6s-1]

Saqib Mahmood to Shai Hope, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! What a catch! We've seen some worldies already today but this just might be the pick of the lot. A short delivery onto the body, Hope pulls at it and goes full blooded with his shot. Carse at deep square initially was running forwards, and then adjusts and almost seems to pluck that one out of thin air - think Ben Stokes at the 2019 World Cup. The bowler was in disbelief seeing that wicket, West Indies lose their skipper. Shai Hope c Brydon Carse b Saqib Mahmood 25(21) [4s-4]

Saqib Mahmood to Keacy Carty, out Caught by Brook!! Another one, almost a carbon copy of the previous Saqib Mahmood wicket. Same combination in effect. This was a shorter delivery, a bit wide outside off. Carty slashes at it and skews it off the toe end straight to Brook at mid-off. The in-form Keacy Carty in out cheaply. Keacy Carty c Brook b Saqib Mahmood 22(26) [4s-3]

Brydon Carse to Brandon King, out Caught by Buttler!! An absolute jaffa of a delivery! Nothing Brandon King could have done. Angles in from a length, just shapes away very late as the batter tried to block. Takes a faint outside edge and through to the keeper. Both openers back in the hut. Brandon King c Buttler b Brydon Carse 10(14) [4s-1]

Saqib Mahmood to Justin Greaves, out Caught by Brook!! As easy as that! Fuller length and gets a bit of bounce outside off, Greaves tries to drive but chips it tamely towards Brook at mid-off. Easy catch for the England skipper, Greaves undone by some extra bounce. Justin Greaves c Brook b Saqib Mahmood 4(5) [4s-1]
