Eng LO tour of WI, Oct 31 - Nov 17

[Arthur Crabtree]

Curran at 6?

[Durhamfootman]

he isn't batting already, is he?

[mikesiva]

Curran was curiously at six in the first match too.

West Indies 328-6

Hope 117 from 127
Carty 71
Rutherford 53

Turner 2-42
Rashid 2-62

[Durhamfootman]

phew!

329 needed

will England even get close to that the way they're playing?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Presume the boundaries are in and that's not huge by modern standards. But England have a long tail.

It's not an Andy Flower type side.

[GarlicJam]

I've been following the scores on Cricinfo - seems like a fantastic knock from Livingstone gave England an easy win in the end. Tail averted.

[Durhamfootman]

I think this is what is known by the phrase 'taking the game deep'. Stokes would be proud

After farting about and a steady loss of wickets at the top of the order, LL and SC came together, dug in, took the singles, didn't panic as the rate mounted and then LL went gangbusters for 2 overs against the quicks, 26 off Seales and 24 off Shamar to win at a canter with 15 balls to spare. They needed 100 off the last 10 overs and did it in 7.3

Dr Livingstone will sleep well tonight, once the blood he summoned up has settled down

Simple game, really

[Arthur Crabtree]

Forgot about this! Looks a heck of an innings.

Curran at 6 did pretty well...

[mikesiva]

England 329-5

Livingston 124* from 85
Salt 59
Bethell 55
Curran 52

Forde 3-48

[Durhamfootman]

Curran at 6 did pretty well...

he did

there was a lot of pressure on him and he seems to have coped with it well

He's not a 6 though

[Arthur Crabtree]

England 24-4. Maybe Curran should be batting higher.

[Durhamfootman]

he's got work to do again

[Arthur Crabtree]

Overton is back at 8!

[mikesiva]

Great relay catch by King and Alzarri to get rid of Salt for 74.
