England vs West Indies, 2nd T20I: Live score and updates from Bristol
19:32 IST:5.5: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, Six! 19:32 IST:5.4: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, A smirk from Shai Hope as he thinks that should have been a wide. 19:31 IST:5.3: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, SIX! That's gone all the way! Hard-length delivery, outside off, Shai Hope goes after it and somehow manages to powerit up and over extra cover for a six. 19:30 IST:5.2: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, Similar line and length to the last one, this time Shai Hope manages to manufacture a lofted shot that goes wide of mid on and towards the fence. The fielder at deep mid-wicket runs to his left and does well to keep it down to two runs. 19:30 IST:5.1: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, Back of a length and at the batter, Hope pats it down to mid on. 19:29 IST:4.6: Liam Dawson to Shai Hope, Tossed-up delivery, around off, eased away towards cover for a single. 19:28 IST:4.5: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, Bowled very full and outside off, Charles reaches out and drags it without much timing to mid-wicket or a single. 19:29 IST:4.4: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, Good decision from the on-field umpire! Liam Dawson tries flighting one up and bowls it full on the pads. Johnson Charles sits down and gets inside the line to sweep but misses and the ball just very close to the bat and it is a good take from Jos Buttler behind the stumps. The bowler and the keeper appeal for a caught behind but it is turned down and Harry Brook opts for the review. Nothing on UltraEdge and it stays Not Out! 19:25 IST:4.3: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, FOUR! The change of ends isn't working out for Liam Dawson at all. Bowled well short and over the stumps, Charles backs away well and punches it firmly through cover-point for the second boundary of the over. 19:25 IST:4.3: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, Wide! Full and angled down leg again, Charles looks to sweep but misses. 19:25 IST:4.2: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, Tossed up, full and on the pads, Johnson Charles goes for a genuine switch hit but misses the ball by a long way. 19:24 IST:4.1: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, FOUR! A real freebie, just what Charles would have wanted at this moment. Short and wide, there to be hit. Johnson Charles slaps the ball away in front of point and picks up a boundary. 19:24 IST:4.1: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, Wide! Tries to slip in a quicker delivery at the pads but spills it down leg for a wide. 19:24 IST:Switch of ends for Liam Dawson (1-0-8-0). He replaces Luke Wood. 19:23 IST:3.6: Brydon Carse to Johnson Charles, Oh, that's gone through everyone! Slower one, into the pitch and around off, Johnson Charles is bamboozled by it but Jos Buttler too gets beaten by the awkward bounce and the batters get a bye. 19:22 IST:3.5: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, Length ball on off, tapped away firmly in front of point for a quick single. 19:21 IST:3.4: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, FOUR! Shai Hope attempting to shift gears quickly now. Shorter and wider outside off, Hope does well to cut it a bit late. The ball flies uppishly but through the vacant backward point region for another boundary. 19:20 IST:3.3: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, SIX! Now, that is a shot! Good length around off, Shai Hope stays put and just swings through the line, whacking the ball a long way over long off for a biggie now. 19:20 IST:3.2: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, FOUR! Just erring in line and Shai Hope picks up an easy boundary. On a length and angled down leg, tucked away neatly and fine enough from the fielder at long leg for a boundary. 19:19 IST:3.1: Brydon Carse to Shai Hope, Sharp work in the field! Fuller in length and at the stumps, driven straight to mid on and Johnson Charles looks to sneak in a quick single but Shai Hope sends him back. There is a direct hit at the bowler's end but Charles is well in. 19:19 IST:Change? Yes, Brydon Carse replaces Liam Dawson. 19:18 IST:2.6: Luke Wood to Johnson Charles, Just one run off that over! That in-between length, in and around the stumps, Charles tries to back away and open up the off side but only manages to jam it out to covers. 19:18 IST:2.5: Luke Wood to Johnson Charles, Nicely bowled and Johnson Charles is starting to get bogged down here. Good length, around the top of off and just angling back in, Charles gets cramped for room and has to block it off. 19:17 IST:2.4: Luke Wood to Johnson Charles, Full and straight now, targeting the stumps, Charles stays leg side of the ball and jams it out towards mid off. 19:16 IST:2.3: Luke Wood to Johnson Charles, Swing and a miss! Hard length, dropping it around off and angling it across. Johnson Charles clears the front leg to swing across the line but fails to make a connection. 19:17 IST:Slight halt! Johnson Charles is not happy with the movement around the sightscreen. After a long delay, the issue seems to have been solved. All good to continue now. Actually, the sightscreen is a bit transparent right behind the bowler's arm, and one can see people behind through it. But for now, we are good to go. 19:12 IST:2.2: Luke Wood to Johnson Charles, Good-length delivery, in the channel, this one zips through and holds its line after just starting to swing back in. Johnson Charles is caught on the crease and is beaten past the inside edge. 19:12 IST:2.1: Luke Wood to Shai Hope, Pitches the ball up and spears it across the off stump, Hope stays leg side of the ball and has to reach for it. Ends up jamming it across to wide mid on for a single. 19:10 IST:1.6: Liam Dawson to Shai Hope, Flatter one, at the stumps, nudged away through square leg for a single. 19:10 IST:1.5: Liam Dawson to Shai Hope, SIX! That's a fine shot! The square boundaries are pretty big at this venue and Liam Dawson goes into the deck and angles it into the body as well. Shai Hope picks the length early, rocks back and pulls it over deep square leg for a biggie. 19:09 IST:1.4: Liam Dawson to Shai Hope, Quick and flat, darted in towards middle and leg, Hope rocks back and tucks it across to mid-wicket. 19:09 IST:1.3: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, Fuller this time, and on off, driven down to long off for a single by Charles. 19:08 IST:1.2: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, Nagging length at the stumps, Johnson Charles can't quite free his arms and ends up blocking it off. 19:08 IST:1.1: Liam Dawson to Johnson Charles, Flatter one to begin with, angled into the pads, Charles fails to flick it away. 19:07 IST:Interesting. Spin from the far end. Liam Dawson to share the attack. 19:07 IST:0.6: Luke Wood to Shai Hope, Top delivery to end a top first over from Luke Wood, just 3 runs and a wicket off it. Full again and around off, threatening to swing back in but just holds its line. Shai Hope is beaten all ends up. 19:06 IST:0.5: Luke Wood to Shai Hope, Nice and full, on middle, swinging back in a fair bit as well. Hope manages to push it out to mid on. 19:06 IST:0.4: Luke Wood to Shai Hope, Fuller delivery around off, a bit too full and looking to swing back in. Hope leans on and drives the full toss straight to covers. 19:05 IST:0.3: Luke Wood to Johnson Charles, On a good length and angling into the pads, Johnson Charles neatly tucks it down to fine leg and picks up a single to get off the mark. 19:05 IST:0.2: Luke Wood to Shai Hope, Caught out, but it won't count as it is a Free Hit! Hard length, in and around the stumps, Shai Hope clears the front leg and looks to swing it over mid-wicket but ends up miscuing it badly to mid on. They do get the single, though. 19:04 IST:0.2: Luke Wood to Shai Hope, No ball! Oh, that didn't come out as intended! Luke Wood goes searching for another yorker but ends up bowling a high full toss across the right-hander. A Free Hit to follow now... 19:03 IST:The skipper, Shai Hope, is in at 3. 19:02 IST:0.1: Luke Wood to Evin Lewis, OUT! LBW! That's plumb! What a start from Luke Wood and for England, a wicket off the very first ball and what a ball it was. Wood just strides in from over the wicket and darts a straight yorker in perfectly towards middle stump. Evin Lewis is taken aback and ends up playing all around it. The ball sneaks through to smash into the pads and the umpire's finger goes up almost instantly. Lewis reviews it pretty quickly too, and the third umpire is called in. UltraEdge shows that the bat hit the ground and not the ball and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. A golden duck here for Lewis! 19:06 IST:Is that LBW? Up goes the umpire's finger on the appeal from Wood, and Evin Lewis has reviewed it straightaway. UltraEdge shows no spike when the ball passes close to the bat, however, a spike appears when the bat makes contact with the ground. And it is three reds on the Ball Tracking. OUT! 19:00 IST:In all readiness for this second T20I to commence here in Bristol! Simon Doull on air mentions that it is quite breezy out there. Overcast skies welcome the two umpires and the players. The players of England spread out to the field and out walk the two openers for West Indies - Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles. Luke Wood, back in the English side, will bowl the first over of the match. Off we go... 18:35 IST:West Indies (Playing XI) - Evin Lewis, Johnson Charles, Shai Hope (C/WK), Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, Rovman Powell, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein (In for Andre Russell). 18:35 IST:England (Playing XI) - Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler (WK), Harry Brook (C), Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Brydon Carse, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood (In for Matthew Potts).

England v West Indies: first men's T20 cricket international
Update: Date: 2025-06-06T16:30:31.000Z Title: Preamble Content: BANG! KAPOW! MADON! THWACK! SOCK! OOOFF! Those of a certain [proximity to the Grim Reaper age will know these words were all used during fights in the Batman series of the 1960s. (Except MADON!, but that's another story.) A few of them will be needed tonight as well, and not only to describe the post-pub dialectics up and down the land. There should be plenty of THWACK!ing at Chester-le-Street, where England play West Indies – the six-hitting kings of Twenty20 – in the first of a three-match series. England won the ODI series fairly comfortably, but the addition of Rovman Powell, Johnson Charles, Romario Shepherd, Andre Russell and others makes this a much stronger West Indies team. It should be competitive. It'll definitely require capital letters and exclamation marks. The match starts at 6.30pm.
