Motie to Philip Salt, out Bowled!! That's a dream delivery and Motie is off and runnng! He bowls this one on a back of a length and it drifts in initially, Philip Salt hangs back and looks to block but the ball turns away sharply to open him up and crashes into the middle stump.

Needed something special to get rid of Salt and Motie has delivered. Philip Salt b Motie 38(22) [4s-5 6s-1]

Salt scored hundred ( T20I)on Day before & day after of IPL Auction but he remain un-Sold🤣

Rob: "So the spinners bowl straight and England can barely get the ball off the park. Pathetic, brainless slogging is all our T20 "specialists" can do. WIndies will knock this off in the powerplay." Let's see what England's spin twins have to say... they'll need a bit more to bowl at though

Stefan SIngh: "Petition to credit both fielders for a relay catch on the scorecard. Like the old days when a run out was credited to the thrower and wicket breaker " It is overdue, isn't it?

Greg: "I missed the first 10 overs but I sense the pitch isn't playing quite as well as the other night?" Indeed, it seems to be stickier, given the left-armers a bit of purchase, much as in the ODIs

Ali: "My two cents: English players look bored, uninterested, and possibly, lacking clarity (about roles, strategy, etc). Looking at Butler, Salt, and Brook wickets, one senses a preoccupied mindset. Dont know whats wrong here but this is at the surface of it. " Not sure I buy that today. 2-2 after a stirring fightback, and one final push before Christmas? Boredom seems an odd diagnosis

18.1 Russell to Woakes, OUT

Yorker from round the wicket!

Chris Woakes b Russell 2 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

18.2 Russell to Rehan, OUT

Two in two! Full toss from Russell, round the wicket, belted back with venom at the bowler's midriff. God knows how he clings on... and he's in pain after grabbing it close to his right thigh... but he doesn't let the chance slip, and this innings is sinking fast!

Rehan Ahmed c & b Russell 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Alan: "This looks pretty inadequate for England, what's par on this re-used pitch?" Hard to judge given how far removed it seems from Tuesday's road. But 160 feels competitive. Anything less is advantage Windies
