WI beat ENG by 26 runs | West Indies vs England, Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd ODI Match - Commentary

It's a different deck used for this match and it has offered some extra zip and spin for the bowlers. Given how deep the English team bats, the Windies' bowlers will need to strike early to put pressure on them. Will we see yet another one-sided chase? Do join us in a short while to find out.

England's fielding was excellent today. They held onto all the catches coming their way and also earned a couple of run outs. Their bowling too was decent in the middle overs but towards the end, they lost the plot slightly. Mark Wood stood out from the rest, while Ben Stokes was also brilliant until he gave away 18 runs in his 7th over. It's a bit strange that Eoin Morgan didn't give Adil Rashid his full quota as the leggie looked quite effective in his six overs.

Wonderful batting by Shimron Hetmyer! He has powered the home team to a challenging total. After being put into bat, the Windies' openers once again adopted a cautious approach. Campbell then fell after yet another start while Gayle continued along with Hope. Soon after hitting his 50th ODI fifty, Chris Gayle was sent packing by Rashid and Shai followed him. The 76-run stand between Bravo and Hetmyer kept the hosts on track and prepared a launching pad for the end overs.

Liam Plunkett to Shai Hope. DROPPED AND SIX! Difficult to call that a drop however, that was a very tough chance. Full and on the pads, Hope stylishly flicks it. He has no intentions of keeping it down. It goes towards deep mid-wicket. Curran there positions himself inside the ropes and then stretches one hand up but can't hang on. It then pops over the fence. Heart-in-mouth moment for Hope but he will be relieved now. A maximum to end the last over one to begin this one.

Liam Plunkett to John Campbell. OUT! Campbell has pulled it straight to mid on! England pick up their first. A short of a length ball outside off, John Campbell has the width to stretch his arms and pull that but unfortunately for him, he has hit straight to Moeen Ali who takes a simple catch. Looks really disappointed as that ball sat up to be hit. Anyways, the 61-run stand has come to an end.

Moeen Ali to Chris Gayle. SIX! All the way! That has gone the distance with the assistance of the wind. Short and on middle, Gayle rocks back and pulls it towards long on. The fielder there for a second must have felt he is in with a chance but because of the wind, it takes it over the fence. Ends the over with a maximum. Just the seven from it though.

Moeen Ali to John Campbell. Rocks onto the back foot and punches it through covers for a run.

Moeen Ali to John Campbell. Tosses it up on middle, kept out.

Moeen Ali to John Campbell. NOT OUT! It brushes the wrist band, then it is off the elbow and then off the pad. Also, the impact is outside the leg stump. So the on-field call is the right one and England lose their only review. This is bowled on the leg pole, the batsman goes for the sweep. It goes off something, just misses the stumps and Buttler takes it in between his legs. A muted appeal from him and the bowler but the umpire shakes his head. After a brief discussion, the English players go for the review. On the first replay it goes really close past the glove so it is inconclusive whether it has brushed the glove or not. The third umpire asks for the Ultra Edge and after a few minutes, it is finally available. Ultra Edge then shows some spike as the ball passes the wrist band. Since that is not part of the glove, it is termed in the batsman's favor. The third umpire then goes on to check for LBW but even that is ruled out as the impact was outside leg. Campbell survives.

Review time! A mild appeal for a caught behind has been turned down. England go for the review though. Campbell is the man in question.

Windies captain, Jason Holder, says that there is some moisture in the wicket and feels that if that is seen off, then the batsmen can get a good total. On the team meeting after the previous loss, Holder says that the team understands what needs to be done and promises an improved performance today.

England skipper, Eoin Morgan, says that it looks like a good wicket with one side of the boundary being a very short. Does not feel that the track will change much over the course of 100 overs but hopes to limit Windies to a smaller score. Informs that Woakes misses out and Tom Curran comes in his place.

TOSS - Time for the spin of the coin. Holder flips it, Heads is the call from Eoin Morgan and Heads it is. ENGLAND ELECT TO CHASE.

PITCH REPORT - David Lloyd has a look at the 'fresh' pitch and says that it looks EXACTLY the same. Cannot see a blade of grass on the track and it just seems to be relaid.

WEATHER REPORT - Slightly overcast conditions welcome us today though there is no rain forecast.

What we witnessed in the first game was a massacre from both teams. But let us be honest. The bowling was poor from both sides and the fielding, well, the less said, the better. The Brits showed that they are better chasers but given the way the Windies fielded, even 400 could have been chased down. On the other hand, England ere not too great either, in the field. To a cricket supporter, it was not the best game of cricket, brutally put. Let us hope we get clinical stuff today.

724/12 in 98.4 overs. This was the scenario in the first ODI. Same ground, similar pitch. What will be the case today? Hello and a warm welcome to the second ODI between Windies and England at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.
