Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles
OUT! STUMPED! The wily old fox does it again. He has been in terrific form in the past 12 months, doing well as recently as the SA20. Flights this one outside off and entices the batter. Charles jumps out but Dawson smartly slows his pace down. Tosses it a bit wider outside off as well, which means Johnson has to reach out for the ball too. He is not to the pitch of the ball and swings wildly, only to miss. Easy stumping for Jos Buttler. Charles departs for 18 (15) and West Indies are 27/1 after 3.2 overs. Equation - 162 from 100.

SIX! The first one of the chase! A length ball, at the body, Johnson Charles swivels and pulls it way over the square leg fence!

On the Charles wicket - Interestingly, that ball turned a lot. Remember it's still a bit new. If that is the sign of things to come, then England can potentially bowl 16 overs of spin to the Windies batters. In addition to that, as we talked at the end of the 1st innings, England will look to bowl a lot of pace-off deliveries which might be mighty effective on this wicket. Brydon Carse returns. 1-0-11-0 so far.

Is that a wicket? England believe that Shai Hope has been caught behind. But the umpire does not give it and Harry Brook takes the review. Nothing on the UltraEdge.

Liam Dawson last played for the England side more 2-and-half years ago. He has been mighty impressive in T20 leagues across the world. Recently he played in the SA 20 where he finished with 18 wickets in 13 games with an impressive economy rate of 6.9, taking a wicket every 14 balls. In the last 12 months, he has played 35 T20 games, taking 39 wickets, at an impressive economy rate of 7.29. He has been kept out of the England T20 setup for long, and boy hasn't he impressed on his comeback. Adil Rashid is back on. 3-0-14-0 so far.

Interesting last two overs from the two English pacers, who bowled it to their strengths. Carse looked to keep the line at or around the stumps, and looked to use the wicket as he hit the deck hard. Whereas, Potts focused more on the line as he looked to keep the ball out of the batter's arc in the previous over.

Fourth successive loss for West Indies on this tour. A slight ray of happiness would be that it was not as one-sided as the ODIs and maybe, one big partnership could have sealed the game. But that batting collapse is a big concern, something which they would want to work upon. England themselves would want more from their batters in challenging conditions. The second T20I comes quickly, on Sunday, 8th June, 2025 in Bristol. One might expect a flatter deck there with lesser assistance for the bowlers on a fairly small ground. Might be a test for the bowlers then. The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 7 pm IST (1330 GMT) but our buildup will begin well in advance. So do tune in early. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
