Commentary

West Indies's search for a win on this tour continues. They will try again in less than 48 hours when the caravan moves to Bristol for the 2nd T20I. From the perspective of the series, it will be a "do or die" game for the visitors. Meanwhile, England will hope that the good work under the new leadership continues.

We hope that you enjoyed the coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Do join us at 2:00 PM local time (6:30 PM IST) on Sunday, June 8, for the 2nd T20I. For now it is the duo of Darpan Tikiya and Arya Sekhar Chakraborty waving goodbye! Sayonara!

Harry Brook (England captain): "Very pleased to get the win. To have Liam Dawson and Adil Rashid in the team really helps. As a batter you look at either ends and wonder where do you go. Having Jos Buttler batting in the top three is an honour. These dimensions are quite big. It was hard to get boundaries in the middle overs. Hence, having Dawson and Rashid in your team is great. We needed to pick more twos. That's a learning. Maybe we would want to nail a few more yorkers at the back end. Learning continues."

Liam Dawson (Player of the Match): Feels really good, it's great to contribute to the team’s win. When you get on the board, try to embrace the challenges and thankfully it worked. Was a little nervous going into the game but happy to contribute. Had to curb my lengths against the West Indies batters but it's just the first game, we should let this performance continue.

Shai Hope (West Indies captain): "Can't really pinpoint one thing. We did not bowl as well as we would have wanted to in the powerplay. But I must credit the bowlers for pulling things back. The dimensions of the ground was one of the talking points before the game. A lot of teams like to throw spin at the West Indies. Quite frankly, we need to get better. Just one day break before the next game. We need to pick ourselves back up."

10:06 PM local time, 2:36 AM IST: England win by 21 runs.

Jos Buttler 96 (59) | Liam Dawson 4/20
Evin Lewis 39 (23) | Romario Shepherd 2/33 (4)

Harry Brook's tenure as England's full-time T20I skipper has started on the right note. As the players walk off, he ensures that the best batter and the best bowler of the day — Jos Buttler and Liam Dawson — are the ones to lead the side out.

"Spin for the win" was the mantra of the day. England had assessed the conditions perfectly and picked up their team accordingly. They had gone in with just two seamers and relied on Jacks and Bethell to make up the overs of the 5th bowler. West Indies had rather gone in the opposite direction. They picked four seamers and had to visibly tweak their plans midway through the bowling innings. But by the time they switched to bowling cutters into the pitch, England had inflicted some heavy damage.

Both Jos Buttler and Jamie Smith came out with the intention to go all guns blazing. Every time they swung their bat, they didn't just hit the ball, but gave it a proper spanking. It is hard to recall a lose ball during that phase which was rendered unpunished. Even the good ones were smoked to the boundary. England scored 78/1 in the powerplay. To put things into perspective, West Indies could only manage 46/2 off their first 6.

While Smith got out on 38, Buttler carried on. He played shots that embodied authoritativeness and dominance throughout that knock and ended with 96 to his name.

Another man who made a vital contribution was Jacob Bethell. He might have conceded 24 runs in the first over he bowled, but he picked up the wickets of Evin Lewis and Andre Russell by the end of his spell.

20.0

Romario Shepherd has been dismissed for 16 runs off 12 balls

19.6 Matthew Potts to Romario Shepherd, WICKET! Potts finishes with two wickets as Shepherd holes out at deep midwicket on the final delivery of the over. Slower into the pitch, a mistimed pull from Shepherd and the deep midwicket fielder makes it look easy. England win by 21 runs.

19.5 Matthew Potts to Romario Shepherd, FOUR! Low full toss a shade outside off, Shepherd swings hard and ends up getting an inside edge, runs away past the short fine leg fielder for a boundary.

19.5 Matthew Potts to Romario Shepherd, full-length delivery well wide outside off, left alone by Shepherd and it has been given a wide.
