    There are a number of guitarists playing cricket bats at each of the games in this tournament. Southampton's is by far the best. He's just nailed Summer of 69.

    "Well in son, nice," says Mark Wood as he congratulates Joe Root on the boundary rope.

    That's a proper thrashing.

    England were without their opener, their captain had a mid-match back spasm, and they've still cruised to victory.

    England have put in a really good performance. When you think a couple of players had to limp off.

    It was a good toss to win, the conditions this afternoon have been totally different from this morning. A wonderful display.

    Sometimes the West Indies arrive and don't look like they want to be there.

    It is honestly astonishing that it's taken this long for an England player to make three World Cup centuries.

    England have been so very bad in this format.

    That was Joe Root's 16th hundred in ODIs, it came from 93 balls with 11 fours.

    It's his fourth v West Indies and his third in World Cups - the most for any England player.

    What's pleasing is seeing Eoin Morgan on the balcony stood clapping that ton. What an innings. Joe Root hasn't broken sweat.

    He just plays with so much simplicity.
