WIndies 79/3 of 19 overs

 

[Stroller]

Good to get Gayle out before the spinners came on.

 

[Stroller]

Woakes dropping Russell could prove expensive.

 

[Tramore Ranger]

202/7 off 40 overs......

Not sure what par score is on this ground but would have thought it is more than 250.....

Also both Roy and Morgan have gone off injured......

 

[Tramore Ranger]

Make that 202/8

Also Roy unable to bat any higher than 7.....

 

[Tramore Ranger]

211/9

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Who will open instead of Roy?

 

[QPR999]

Windies blown away, should be a routine win now if we bat sensibly.

Who will open instead of Roy?

Probably Root.

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Any idea how bad these injuries are? :/

Both looked like hamstrings, rumours are that Morgan might not be able to play again this season.

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Jeez....... Thats a downer.

Wonder who we will bring in as a replacement...... Root would take over captaincy i guess?

Correction, Morgan's is a back spasm. Buttler will now captain the side.

 

[QPR999]

If Morgan recovers enough to bat he can't bat until after 28 minutes, which is the length of time he was off the pitch.

Morgan update
Eoin Morgan has a back spasm. He is unable to bat for 28 minutes at the start of England’s innings because he was off the field for that time.

Don't think anyone ever took any liberties with Curtly Ambrose........

Former West Indies bowler on BBC Test Match Special

It's always important for any fast bowler to drop a few short ones in, keep the batsmen honest. Don't get too relaxed or take too many liberties!

Since the Champions Trophy in 2017, 42 opening partnerships for England average 62 - today is the 21st time they have reached 50 for no loss. That's the best in the world in that time.
