  • 49.6

    Ben Stokes to Shimron Hetmyer. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep backward point for 2 runs, fielded by Root.

    West Indies have posted 289/6 in Barbados after a sublime Shimron Hetmyer century. In the early part of the innings it looked as though the hosts were set for another total way in excess of that, but Adil Rashid deceived Chris Gayle to spark an England fightback. The tourists were on fire in the field with two run outs in quick succession keeping the men in maroon pinned down. Mark Wood was particularly impressive with the ball, his second spell registered high numbers on the speed gun and generated hooping reverse-swing. Hetmyer was able to weather that storm before unleashing some devastating strokes at the death, keeping his side in with a shot of levelling the series. Run-scoring was certainly harder today than two days ago, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough against this daunting England batting line-up.

  • 49.5

    FOUR! Ben Stokes to Shimron Hetmyer. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Belted down the ground, Hetmyer knows as soon as he's hit it that the ball will rocket to the fence. That's his fourth ODI century and he celebrates with a huge smile on his face. Fantastic innings by the young left-hander, he's helped the hosts up to a respectable total.

    OUT! Caught. Carlos Brathwaite to Liam Plunkett. Length ball, off stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Holder.

    West Indies have levelled the ODI series at 1-1 after a dramatic 26 run victory over England in Barbados. For large parts of the chase it seemed as though the tourists would cruise to the target, but inspired bowling by Jason Holder and Sheldon Cottrell sparked wild scenes at the Kensington Oval. Three wickets in the space of five balls from the skipper gave the hosts a glimmer of hope, before Cottrell returned to secure a maiden ODI five wicket haul. Half centuries from Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes weren't enough for England as no one went on to make a winning contribution with the bat. The match was set up for the Windies by a scintillating century from Shimron Hetmyer earlier in the day, he held things together with maturity before unleashing at the death. With the series now square, the Third ODI on Monday in Grenada is sure to be another quality contest.

    OUT! Bowled. Sheldon Cottrell to Moeen Ali. Length ball, middle stump on the front foot working, hit pad to. Another one, Cottrell has a maiden ODI five wicket haul at a vital time for the Windies.

That doesn't matter one bit to the locals, they are beginning to party in Bridgetown.
