We are done with game 1. England were the better side. They were miles ahead in almost every department. England batted first and made merry on that flat bed and scored 400. Windies bowlers looked hapless as they sprayed the ball all around and gave away far too many runs. Windies were asked to chase down 401 and they were never in the race as they kept losing regular wickets. In the end, they lost have a mammoth margin. That's it from this one, we will be back with more cricketing action. Today might have been a day about one-sided affairs but tomorrow will be a new day! Join us then...
Harry Brook:
Hope: We didn't get the early inroads that we were after. You play cathc up when you don't pick wickets with the new ball.
Jacob Bethell, Player of the Match: It is pretty special. Putting in a great performance was special. I enjpyed batting in the middle order. Today was easy when I came in to bat as we were on top.
The injury to Overton might be the only thing that would raise some concern for the hosts. Else, they had everything under control.
19:44 Local Time, 18:44 GMT, 00:14 IST: England win this by 238 runs. Massive win for the hosts.
