If I’m not mistaken, I think WI have one every coin toss this entire series so far.

Windies
Chris Gayle, John Campbell, Shai Hope(w), Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder(c), Carlos Brathwaite, Ashley Nurse, Devendra Bishoo, Oshane Thomas

England
Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Jos Buttler(w), Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, Mark Wood

 

[Agent_Smith]

New ball please! Shai Hope smashes Moeen Ali literally out of the ground. Massive hit!

 

[Agent_Smith]

Haha! Now Gayle climbs into Ali. New ball please!

 

[Agent_Smith]

Hahaha!! Gayle teeing off now. Dropped on 9 by Roy, he's now on 66 and has just dispatched Plunkett into the adjacent plot. The guy getting the most exercise is the 4th umpire running out to the middle with a box of new balls!

 

[Dan C]

Gayle now has the most sixes in all three formats combined by anyone

 

[Dan C]

No ball six to Gayle, next ball out of the park. 13 off 1 ball

How was that six though! A shoulder high full toss flat batted for six back over the bowler's head

 

[Pegging]

Got to enjoy these Gayle knocks while we can.

 

[Dan C]

Gayle on fire ....

Ball gone... Hope they have enough replacement balls

 

[Agent_Smith]

Superb stuff from the Windies. In with a real shot here. Morgan cocked up by bringing Rashid on way too late.

 

[Dan C]

The world record for the most sixes in an ODI innings belongs to the Windies, with that six - 23!

WI 360/8

 

[WaxLyrical]

It's like the Windies are bastard sons of AB.

 

[Neoprod]

The world record for the most sixes in an ODI innings belongs to the Windies, with that six - 23!

WI 360/8

Most sixes in an innings and nowhere close to the world record innings total...120 short. They could have been the team that broke 500.

Lazy.

Yeah. Very slow start, but apparently a small ground. Let's see if England can chase this.

WI 360/8

And from 7 different batsmen...

 

[Neoprod]

ENG 76/0 (9.0 Ovs) CRR: 8.44 REQ: 6.95

Saw Bairstow opening and was wondering where Alex Hales is...injured his shoulder during the Bangladesh PL.

 

[Dan C]

Windies need more wickets quickly
