That's a really good performance from us, we executed well with both bat and ball. I thought we bowled really well to restrict such a powerful batting line-up, still we had to chase it down. but smart play from us. The partnerhip between Salt and Bairstow was great. I brought Jof back there, Pooran and Russell coming in, two of the best batters in the world, so we brought our best bowler back in. He's a really important player, he has got so many variations and bowls so well.

We could have given a better display with the ball as a bowling group. We couldn’t capitalise in the last five overs but credit to the English bowlers, they executed their plans very well. Just a bit worried, but hopefully he can pull through for the next game. It’s always difficult, every time he plays against WI, he hurts us. Our destiny is in our own hands and we need to win well, we need to continue playing good cricket.

I like batting here, but I'm more happy to have contributed to a good team win. It was tough against spin in the middle overs, but I knew pace would come at some stage, the wind was blowing at one end, there was one short boundary and I backed myself to take on him (on his 30-run over against Shephard). There was a period where I didn't face too many balls, the boundaries had dried up, but Jonny (Bairstow) took the pressure off me with his calculated hitting, his knock was very crucial.

ENG vs WI Live Score: Resounding win for England!
England made a resounding statement as they began their Super 8 campaign, dispelling any doubts about their ability to defend their title with a commanding performance against a formidable West Indies team. The defending champions showcased their dominance and determination to retain their crown in this impressive display.
England's chase of 181 runs started on a steady note, with Jos Buttler finding the boundary a couple of times, allowing Phil Salt to settle into his innings. The opening pair's 67-run partnership laid the foundation for England to successfully pursue the target. Despite Moeen Ali's brief but aggressive stint at number 3, Salt initially struggled to find the fence in the middle overs. However, Jonny Bairstow stepped up and took the pressure off his partner, seizing control of the game as England began to distance themselves from West Indies.
Recognizing the importance of putting the game beyond reach, Salt launched a blistering assault on Romario Shepherd, plundering 30 runs in a single over. This over now stands as the joint-most expensive over bowled by a West Indies bowler in T20 World Cups.

We bowled exceptionally well as a unit. The seamers, spinners, everyone bowled well. 180 is a par score on this wicket, we’ll be pleased with that. Just wanted to express myself and assess the pitch. (On bowling with a slip) You get a sense after seeing how they are going to bat. So wanted to add and take it out just to play some mind games with them.

ENG vs WI Live Score: West Indies 180/4 in 20 overs vs England
Sherfane Rutherford's rapid innings towards the end of the West Indies' batting innings propelled them past 180 runs, which could prove crucial in the context of the match. The English bowlers put in a commendable performance, restricting the opposition to a total under 200.
The West Indies will be hoping that Rutherford's late flourish will give them a competitive score to defend. England's bowling attack showed discipline and effectiveness, preventing their opponents from posting a more formidable total.

ENG vs WI Live Score: WICKET! Pooran departs!
WICKET! Jofra Archer removes Nicholas Pooran for 36 runs. Jofra Archer has struck a crucial blow, dismissing both well-set batsmen for the West Indies. Delivering a delivery that angled across the right-hander, pitching on a good length outside off stump, Archer induced an ill-advised drive from Nicholas Pooran, who played away from his body. The resulting edge was gratefully accepted by wicketkeeper Jos Buttler, bringing an end to Pooran's valuable innings.
While Pooran's contribution was undoubtedly useful, the West Indies would have hoped for him to anchor the innings and bat through to the end. His dismissal leaves the team in a precarious position, with the remaining batters now tasked with rebuilding the innings and setting a competitive total.

ENG vs WI Live Score: Powell falls!
WICKET! Liam Livingstone ends Rovman Powell's stay at 36. Liam Livingstone delivers a full, wide delivery outside off stump, and Rovman Powell attempts to slog it across the line while down on one knee. However, Powell's aggressive swing causes him to lose his shape slightly, resulting in a thick outside edge that sends the ball looping directly towards short third man.
Mark Wood, positioned at short third, reacts quickly and takes a sharp, low catch to dismiss Powell. The TV Umpire reviews the catch and confirms that Wood's fingers remained underneath the ball, ensuring a legitimate dismissal. Rovman Powell's impressive innings comes to an end at 36 runs, a somewhat anticlimactic conclusion to his superb knock.
