  1. WI 37-4published at 7.1 overs

    I can second that from Henners.

    Chris Jordan enters the attack and serves up a long hop to Bravo who needs not invitation to slap it away for four.

  3. WI 33-4published at 7 overs

    Bravo 1, Pooran 1

    The dots keep coming from Moeen and England. West Indies just are not rotating the strike well enough.

    Moeen's work with the ball is done already. 2-17 from four overs.

    Moeen is going to bowl his fourth and final over.

    This is how it all started for England...

    This is definitely less than ideal.

    Gayle is cursing. He doesn't look happy, the big fella. He could have nudged that off his hips, picked up a run or two.

    WICKETpublished at 6 overs

    Gayle c Malan b Mills 13 (WI 31-4)

    Tymal Mills gets Chris Gayle! Oh this is turning into a dream start for England.

    Mills strikes in his first over at a World Cup as Gayle awkwardly skies a bouncer into the air.

    Dawid Malan takes another smart catch running back.

    Grant: Absolute dross from the WI. A masterclass of how not to bat in the powerplay.

    Laurence: Some extremely average shot placement here..

    This is a terrific start from Mills.

  11. WI 27-3published at 5.3 overs

    Mills begins his run-up with a skip and is already mixing his pace. He has started with three dots to Gayle. Handy.

    West Indies are either six, four or out. There's no running.

  13. WI 27-3published at 5 overs

    Gayle 9, Bravo 0

    Moeen has 2-15 from three overs.

    Here's Tymal Mills, quite the turnaround for a man who was injured and a TMS pundit not too long ago.

  14. Postpublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    West Indies have pushed Dwayne 'DJ' Bravo up to number five.

    There's a big cheeky grin on Eoin Morgan's face.

    Clever bowling from Moeen Ali. He fired it in, back of a length and into the pitch. The ball didn't bounce as much as Hetmeyer wanted it to.

    Hetmyer c Morgan b Moeen 9 (WI 27-3)

    Moeen strikes back! This one is darted into the pitch and Hetmyer tries to whack him off the back foot but can only pick out mid-on. Hetmyer is furious while Eoin Morgan tosses the ball into the air in delight.

    Good use of the feet. Growing up in Guyana, the wickets are a bit slow out there and turn a bit. He's used to using his feet.

  19. WI 27-2published at 4.2 overs

    Moeen continues but Shimron Hetmyer, who looks up for the fight fizzing and punching gloves with Gayle, takes him down the ground for back-to-back fours.

    The wicket maiden from Moeen Ali was his first in T20 internationals and only his second in any form of T20 cricket.
