Farbrace is a loss before the World Cup. I worry about that.

I’d say Jofra Archer’s chances of playing in the World Cup are going up rapidly.

I'd say Englands chance in this is slim to nil.

Fair play to Gayle, so far 124no with 11 sixes.

Six balls have disappeared. Hit out of the ground by Gayle and co.

A paltry 361 needed to win

361 is not far off par in ODIs now. 90/0 after 10 and a bit overs in response shows that this isn't a safe total at all, i reckon this will be pretty close unless something amazing happens.

You’d think Roy must be in with a shout of Test opener.

Brilliant performance, 361 never, to me, felt too much for us, the pitch was flat and we've got a lot of quality in this format, it just needed us to build a couple of big patnerships. To win that with the best 'finisher' in the world only making 1 shot is even more impressive.

It’s remarkable that England make a 361 chase look fairly comfortable. I just hope they can translate it into the World Cup they truly deserve.

A great win but West Indies bowling and fielding was an embarrassment. Roy is a deceptive destroyer totally opposite to Gayle but equally effective.

I really like this side. We have so many players who can influence and decide a game.
I do feel that the white ball game is too heavily influenced in favour of the batsman but credit to Morgan and the bowlers who didn’t panic when under pressure from the boundary count, 44 boundaries is incredible hitting. If Gayle had stayed fit they’d have easily scored 400, as it was he didn’t run that many. Contrast that with Root who played a classic nudger and nurdler innings. He scored just 9 boundaries yet still scored 102 off 97 balls.
More of the same tomorrow please!
