33.1 Jason Holder to Ben Stokes

Over 34. 9 runs. Bowler: Jason Holder. England: 2-213(rr 6.26)

33.1 Jason Holder to Ben Stokes

FREE HIT. FOUR! Jason Holder to Ben Stokes. Half volley, middle stump backing away flick, past long on for 4 runs. Stokes pierces the legside field and that will be the match. A dominant performance from England against a lacklustre West Indian side. Pooran's half century in the first innings was the only real highlight for the Caribbean side. The sun is shining on England as they move up to second in the table with three wins from four. There will be concerns though over the fitness of Jason Roy and the captain Eoin Morgan after both hobbled off in the first innings. The hosts will be hoping they won't be out of action for any more than a week or so, although they will back themselves to beat Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in their next two fixtures even without that destructive pairing. That's all from Southampton for today, let's hope for some more weather like this moving forwards in this competition.

31.5 Shannon Gabriel to Chris Woakes

OUT! Caught (Sub). Shannon Gabriel to Chris Woakes. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg. We've seen a lot of the pull shot from England today but this one stayed in the air too long and Fabian Allen who's on as a sub did well to come forwards and take a comfortable catch. A decent knock from Woakes, that time at the crease might serve him well later in the tournament.
