West Indies vs England Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd Match - ODI Commentary

End of Over : 50.0 WI: 289/6

It's a different deck used for this match and it has offered some extra zip and spin for the bowlers. Given how deep the English team bats, the Windies' bowlers will need to strike early to put pressure on them. Will we see yet another one-sided chase? Do join us in a short while to find out.

England's fielding was excellent today. They held onto all the catches coming their way and also earned a couple of run outs. Their bowling too was decent in the middle overs but towards the end, they lost the plot slightly. Mark Wood stood out from the rest, while Ben Stokes was also brilliant until he gave away 18 runs in his 7th over. It's a bit strange that Eoin Morgan didn't give Adil Rashid his full quota as the leggie looked quite effective in his six overs.

Wonderful batting by Shimron Hetmyer! He has powered the home team to a challenging total. After being put into bat, the Windies' openers once again adopted a cautious approach. Campbell then fell after yet another start while Gayle continued along with Hope. Soon after hitting his 50th ODI fifty, Chris Gayle was sent packing by Rashid and Shai followed him. The 76-run stand between Bravo and Hetmyer kept the hosts on track and prepared a launching pad for the end overs.

It deflects off his pads towards cover-point and the Windies' skipper comes out of the crease in search of a run. Hetmyer sends him back but before he can reach, Roy has attacked the ball and scored a direct hit. The square leg umpire goes upstairs but Holder is not waiting. He is already on his bike. The home team has lost half its side.

11.2 0

Moeen Ali to John Campbell. NOT OUT! It brushes the wrist band, then it is off the elbow and then off the pad. Also, the impact is outside the leg stump. So the on-field call is the right one and England lose their only review. This is bowled on the leg pole, the batsman goes for the sweep. It goes off something, just misses the stumps and Buttler takes it in between his legs. A muted appeal from him and the bowler but the umpire shakes his head. After a brief discussion, the English players go for the review. On the first replay it goes really close past the glove so it is inconclusive whether it has brushed the glove or not. The third umpire asks for the Ultra Edge and after a few minutes, it is finally available. Ultra Edge then shows some spike as the ball passes the wrist band. Since that is not part of the glove, it is termed in the batsman's favor. The third umpire then goes on to check for LBW but even that is ruled out as the impact was outside leg. Campbell survives.

Review time! A mild appeal for a caught behind has been turned down. England go for the review though. Campbell is the man in question.

Windies captain, Jason Holder, says that there is some moisture in the wicket and feels that if that is seen off, then the batsmen can get a good total. On the team meeting after the previous loss, Holder says that the team understands what needs to be done and promises an improved performance today.

England skipper, Eoin Morgan, says that it looks like a good wicket with one side of the boundary being a very short. Does not feel that the track will change much over the course of 100 overs but hopes to limit Windies to a smaller score. Informs that Woakes misses out and Tom Curran comes in his place.

TOSS - Time for the spin of the coin. Holder flips it, Heads is the call from Eoin Morgan and Heads it is. ENGLAND ELECT TO CHASE.

PITCH REPORT - David Lloyd has a look at the 'fresh' pitch and says that it looks EXACTLY the same. Cannot see a blade of grass on the track and it just seems to be relaid.

WEATHER REPORT - Slightly overcast conditions welcome us today though there is no rain forecast.

What we witnessed in the first game was a massacre from both teams. But let us be honest. The bowling was poor from both sides and the fielding, well, the less said, the better. The Brits showed that they are better chasers but given the way the Windies fielded, even 400 could have been chased down. On the other hand, England ere not too great either, in the field. To a cricket supporter, it was not the best game of cricket, brutally put. Let us hope we get clinical stuff today.

724/12 in 98.4 overs. This was the scenario in the first ODI. Same ground, similar pitch. What will be the case today? Hello and a warm welcome to the second ODI between Windies and England at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.

End of Over : 47.4 ENG: 263/10

That is it from this game. The Windies have leveled the series and we now go to Grenada for the third ODI with both teams winning one game a piece. That match will be played on 25th February. That match will begin at 0930 local (1330 GMT). Join us for that one. Till then, Cheers!

Windies skipper Jason Holder says he is really pleased and credits his boys for their performance. States Hetmyer played really well and took them to a competitive total. Singles out Cottrell's spell to be a game changer. Says those early wickets gave them momentum and those two wickets in one over once again got them back in the game. On being asked about Shimron Hetmyer's performance the Windies skipper said that it is really good to see young players step up to the occasion and says Shimron Hetmyer has been a big player at such a young age for the country. Ends by thanking the crowd for their support.

Man of the Match - Shimron Hetmyer says he just wanted too keep going and rotate the strike. States, him and Bravo wanted to see how far they could go. On his improvement on playing both sides of the pitch, the young batter said he just trying to work it both side of the ground. Says it is a work in progress for him and he is continuing to learn and progress. Insists that he does not want to be a one dimensional player. On being asked how was the mood before they came to field he states the mood was good as usual and they just came out and wanted to do things according to the plan. On being asked about his celebration after the century Hetmyer said it was nothing big but just something for his girlfriend.

England skipper Eoin Morgan says that he always knew it was going to go right till the end. Believes they did a lot of good things today. Says they fielded well and bowled well. States that they were going good with the bat but could not capatalise on it. On facing Sheldon Cottrell the English skipper states that it was his first time facing him and it was a very different challenge. Says he swings the ball in and he is a left-hander so it is difficult. Admits they failed to nail down the partnership today and that cost them.

With the game slipping away from Windies, Jason Holder took the onus on himself and first removed the dangerous Ben Stokes from the crease. He didn't stop there and picked the wickets of Jos Buttler and Tom Curran off consecutive deliveries. That proved to be the match-turning moment and the Windies just capitalized. The bearded boys, Moeen and Adil, put up a fight for a while but once again Sheldon Cottrell returned to do the damage. He finished with a 5-wicket haul and played a key role in Windies' victory.

The chase started on a wrong note for England as they lost both their openers cheaply. Sheldon Cottrell was in his elements as he delivered initial blows to the Englishmen. Post that, Root and Morgan stitched in a handy stand followed by a 99-run partnership between the English skipper and Ben Stokes. Both the batsmen looked set to see the touring team home but then Cottrell was brought back into the attack and he dismissed Morgan. The depth in England's batting meant that they kept the upper hand as yet another vital alliance was formed between Buttler and Stokes. The real action though began from there...

Windies have done it! They have broken the deadlock, their first win over England in ODIs since 2014. In between, they experienced 10 losses in a row. What a turnaround from them! This game swung like a pendulum. Both teams kept bouncing back whenever put under pressure but eventually it was the home team landing the knockout punch. A very entertaining game for the crowd and the series is now levelled 1-1!

The replays show that he hit the turf but before that it took the outside edge too. The Snicko confirms there was bat involved and the well-set Stokes walks back to the pavilion. He is fuming in anger on his way to the dressing room.

Ben Stokes is given out caught behind. Windies are celebrating but the English all-rounder is not going anywhere. He has a chat with his partner and takes the DRS. Has the bat hit the turf and not the ball?
