West Indies' comeback was powered by openers Shai Hope and Evin Lewis who teamed up for 136 runs in just over 9 overs after star player Nicholas Pooran was dismissed without scoring.

For England, young talent Jacob Bethell hit an impressive 62 not out while Phil Salt continued his strong form with 55 runs but their bowling struggled especially Liam Livingstone who gave up 30 runs in a single over.
