1st ODI of 5 today,
At the Oval in Kensington not Kennington, confused much.
Windies won the toss and decided to bat
Gayle and Campbell opening.
Currently 18-0 off of 3.3 overs. Gayle, surprisingly, only 3 runs from 11 balls
38-1
Joel Campbell holes out at square :- 30 b Woakes c Moeen
Plunkett to Gayle, 1 run, dropped! A filthy hack from Gayle, steepling towards point as he tried to go over midwicket… but Roy shells it after seemingly watching it all the way into his hands! He got there on the run, but the ball hits the wrists and goes to earth
54/1
Ali to Hope, 1 run, turning into the pads, worked to the leg side, and another fine fifty from Hope , his fastest yet in ODIs, and he’s been turning his starts to hundreds of late too
And then Gayle monsters the next ball out of the ground…
Ali to Gayle, SIX runs, smoking! Think Brett Lee at The Oval in 2009 for distance! Absolutely in the slot, and monstered over the stands at midwicket, and into the neighbouring parish! Out comes a new ball, no point hunting that one down, it’s embedded in a taxi bonnet somewhere. Now then … penny for Jason Roy’s thoughts…
132/1 after 25 overs
And that is Gayle’s 50th 50 in ODIs
And a very reserved one it has been too.
And the hundred partnership too, from 104 balls…
139/1 from 26 overs.
When Jason Roy gets out for 0 in the first over, I will remember that.
Got home and Windies are currently 274-4 from 40.3 overs
Gayle out for 135, 126 runs after he was dropped by Roy.
317-6
That was an epic run chase.
Tons for Roy & Root. 6 wicket win chasing 360
Never in doubt
