England vs West Indies Highlights And Cricket Score 4th Match - ODI Commentary

End of Over : 50.0 ENG: 418/6

419 to win then. That score 418 would be ringing a magical bell in Windies' minds. Flashback 2003. Against Glenn McGrath. Jason Gillespie. Brett Lee. Stuart MacGill. And Andy Bichel. But that was a Test match where Windies registered the highest ever score chased down in history. Chris Gayle was there in that game. Can he revive those memories and write the script in this ODI? Let's find out in a while...

Anything left to write for the bowlers? Sadly, no. Ashley Nurse and Carlos Brathwaite ended with good figures but the latter had gone for just 4 runs in his 1st 3 overs and then had given 20 at the end of 6. So he too, has gone for a beating towards the end. Nothing much to be said about the rest. Just a day to forget.

Normally we see overs in 10s, 12s or max 14s in the death overs. But Buttler and Morgan were dealing in 20s. Overs 42-44 resulted in 65 runs and the Brits never looked back. Both players reached their centuries with Buttler even touching 150. The world record for the most sixes in an ODI innings was broken and ironically, it was Windies who set that record in the first place, just a week ago.

Morgan and Buttler got together and initially, they just saw off the silent phase cautiously. Then post the Drinks break, came the real hitting. England were 264/3 at the end of 40. Powerplay 3 alone has yielded 154/3. Ouch.

24 sixes in 300 balls. Take the average. That is almost a six every 13 deliveries. It has been a total carnage right from the word go and had the Windies not quietened the visitors post Powerplay 1, we might have even seen 500 being crossed. Bairstow and Hales gave the tourists an excellent platform with a 100-run stand but the visiting side slipped a little. England seemed to be losing their way when Hales was dismissed around the halfway mark but there was something to come. Something unreal. Surreal.

When I entered office today, my colleague Sairaj started whining, 'Sir! Please save me! England are hitting 6s after 6s!' I did not feel at that stage that we would witness anything of this sort. Three-and-a-half hours later, I am out of adjectives and my fingers are paining. Take a bow, Jos Buttler. Take a bow, Eoin Morgan. Take a bow, England. 418/6. Simply amazing.

42.5 4

Carlos Brathwaite to Jos Buttler. FOUR! Four more. No relenting here from Buttler. A short and wide ball outside off, Jos reaches out to smash that ball but in the end just places it wide of point. No fielder in the deep and that is another boundary.

42.2 4

Carlos Brathwaite to Jos Buttler. FOUR! Long off and long on have been split to precision! A full toss on middle and Buttler smashes it right back past the bowler to his right. The fielders in the deep have no chance to stop the ball.

42.1 1

Carlos Brathwaite to Eoin Morgan. A length ball from around the wicket, Morgan looked to come down the ground and pull it away but gets cramped for room. Eoin seemed to have gotten an inside edge onto the hips and the ball drops on the leg side. A single is stolen. It is given as a leg bye though.

End of Over : 42 21 Runs ENG: 300/3

41.6 1

Jason Holder to Eoin Morgan. Drives the next ball down the ground to long on for a single. Smart batting.

39.2 6

Jason Holder to Eoin Morgan. SIX! That blow the previous ball does not seem to have changed Morgan's intentions though. A slower length ball outside off by Holder and Morgan slaps it with the wind over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Huge!

The physios run out to check Morgan. He seems to have gotten hurt by the ball that caught him near his chest. Hopefully, he will be fine to continue.

39.1 1

Jason Holder to Jos Buttler. Ouch! Buttler has hit Morgan at the bowler's end. A fuller length ball on middle and leg, Buttler hits is back towards the right of the bowler but catches Eoin who cannot get out of the way. The ball runs towards the right of mid on for a single. The English skipper somehow completes the run clutching his chest.

Jason Holder to bowl now.

Tossed up, around middle and off, Alex gets under it and looks to hit it down the ground. For a second, it seems like the connection is great. But suddenly, out of nowhere, Shimron Hetmyer races to his left from long on, like a spring chicken, leaps to his left and takes a stunning catch, with the ropes just behind! And then the reaction - what a swagger. Just throws the ball back into play as if to say, okay, I have taken the catch, let's move ahead.

17.3 W

Oshane Thomas to Joe Root. OUT! Caught behind! There is a thin nick and Root has to depart! Second wicket for the Windies and this has come in reasonably quick time. Short and outside off, Root looked to cut but missed. There seemed to be a sound as the ball went past the bat and Shai Hope immediately started to celebrate once he took it. But umpire Oxenford shook his head. Hope immediately signalled to Holder to go for the review and one look in Snickometer was enough. A spike was generated when the ball went past the edge. On his bike, goes Joe. England maintain their approach of going after the bowling.

Caught behind? Shai Hope certainly feels so. The bowler is confident too. Let us see what the Snicko says.

That looked really slow. Alex was early into his flick and he mistimed it very high in the air. Devendra Bishoo came running in from fine leg while deep mid-wicket came in too.

So he bowls it outside leg, literally cramping Hales for room. So what does Sir Alex do? No problem at all, he says. Just flays this through point and gets a boundary.

States it has been tough for the bowlers and as batters they just wanted to make most of it. Explains that we don't try and neccisarily go for only boundaries but the boys try different things. Says that the next game in St. Lucia will be a great one and he wants to win the close fought series.

Windies skipper, Jason Holder says it was a great effort from his team and credits Chris Gayle for his innings. Says both teams made it look difficult to bowl here and both sides batted well. States Morgan and Buttler batted really well and they (Windies) just had to go for it. Explains it was a case where they knew what they needed to and it was just a matter of them to be fearless and play their natural game. On being asked how high is Chris Gayle amongst the greatest Windies player, Jason Holder states that he is right at the top of Windies cricket and getting 10,000 runs in any form of cricket is not an easy task. Adds that he is looking for the final ODI and states that he is looking to level the series.

Earlier in the day, England posted 419 courtesy a 77 ball 150 from Jos Buttler and 88 ball 103 from skipper Eoin Morgan.

As for the bowlers, everyone except Mark Wood and Liam Plunkett were being hammered. Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid were the stars with the ball picking up 4 and 5 wickets respectively. Liam Plunkett went wicket-less but had an outstanding economy rate of 5.

It looked like Windies innings would crumble after his wicket. Jason Holder didn't last long after his wicket and it looked like the writing was in the wall but Carlos Brathwaite and Ashley Nurse joined hands and stitched together an 88-run stand. But it was not enough as Adil Rashid spun his web and got rid off both the batsman in two consecutive balls and wrapped the next two in the next three balls.

The innings didn't start in the best of fashions for the Windies. They lost 2 wickets in the first 6 overs. But Christopher Henry Gayle had turned on the beast mood and made a blistering 162 off just 97 balls. The Windies hardly went below the asking rate and the Gayle storm hit Grenada hard. He hit 11 boundaries and 14 maximums in his innings. The gayle storm was blowing away the English bowlers but in the 35th over Ben Stokes got the breakthrough of the big man after being taken to the cleaners earlier.

What a match! Wow. It looked like Windies were on course to chase the mammoth total of 419 but 4 wickets in the 48th over from Rashid ensured this match does not even go to the 50th over.

Adil Rashid to Oshane Thomas. OUT! STUMPED! That ends the game! ENGLAND WIN BY 29 RUNS AND TAKE AN UNASSAILABLE 2-1 SERIES LEAD. Second ODI fifer for Rashid.

Mark Wood to Shimron Hetmyer. OUT! Straight to the man! Sad, sad batting. Six first ball and then a wicket on the next. Literally thrown it away. Hetmyer probably forgot that there is SOMEONE at the other end who just needs some support. He can single-handedly take Windies to a 2-1 series lead. But needs someone to partner him. Another short ball, Shimron looks but this time it is a 143 kph delivery. Hence, SH is slightly late onto the shot. Still, he connects decently. However, because of the extra pace, he does not get enough elevation. The hit is flat and Alex Hales makes no mistake at deep mid-wicket. 4 wickets down, all the 4 to Wood!

23.2 6

Mark Wood to Shimron Hetmyer. SIX! Ha! This bloke does not care a dime about the first ball, does he? Short ball, around middle, Hetmyer just pulls this with aplomb over mid-wicket!

The attacking batsmen just keep coming. Shimron Hetmyer is in now.

23.1 W

Mark Wood to Darren Bravo. OUT! Caught! Wood gives the breakthrough! The 176-run stand is broken. Is this the break England were looking for? A short ball, around middle, Bravo, as has been trying since the last few overs, looks to deposit this into the stands. He had been successful in the last 2-3 overs but not this time. Looks to pull but the ball cramps him for room. Also, the pace of Wood does the trick, making the ball come quickly at the batsman. Little Bravo looks to pull but gets a top edge which goes straight up in the air. Ben Stokes takes a sitter at short mid-wicket. Well played, Bravo. Played perfect foil to the big-hitting Gayle.

Mark Wood returns. 5-0-23-2 so far.

End of Over : 23 18 Runs WI: 220/2
