ENG vs WI Highlights, T20 World Cup 2026: West Indies conquer England; beat Harry Brook's side by 30 runs

Roston Chase to Sam Curran, A review burnt by West Indies! Short and around middle from 'round the wicket. Curran backs away, looking to cut, but the ball follows him and cramps him for room. He chops it onto his front pad, and it trickles away to backward point. A huge appeal for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. However, Chase is very certain and convinces his skipper to go up for a review. The replay itself shows a massive deflection off the inside edge and the third umpire is convinced not to go for the UltraEdge. The on-field decision stays.

Gudakesh Motie to Will Jacks, Quicker through the air, short at 88.5 kph, on off, Will Jacks presses back and dabs it to the off side, in front of point. Jacks lurks for a single but Curran sends him back.

DRINKS! England have just lost their skipper, and the pressure that was released a bit before this over has come back again on the batting side. A lot will depend on Sam Curran now, who is the set batter, but he will also need support from the new batter, Will Jacks. He did play a valuable knock against Nepal, and his team needs him to repeat that here. West Indies spinners have been excellent, especially Motie, but this is his last over, and they only have one from Roston Chase. So, the pacers will have to step up in the death overs, or they can also use Akeal Hosein.

Gudakesh Motie to Harry Brook, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Motie magic continues at the Wankhede. Wicket number 3 for him. As he has done all evening, after bowling a few projectiles, Motie slows the pace and offers decent flight on this one to trap the batter. What this does is it allows the ball to land and grip from the surface. On a fuller length, on middle, it holds on the pitch and spins away. Harry Brook is lured into the flight and tries to push it straight, but chips it to the left of the bowler. Gudakesh Motie is alert to the situation and takes a fine catch on his follow-through. The Windies are up and about as one. The English captain departs as the 41-run partnership is halted. England are 131/5.

Gudakesh Motie to Sam Curran, Full and around off, Sam Curran drives it to deep cover for a single.

Gudakesh Motie to Sam Curran, SIX! And there she goes, into the stands! A risky delivery by Motie, short, on the stumps, spinning in. Curran does not miss out. Goes deep in the crease and powers it behind deep square leg for a flat six.

Gudakesh Motie to Harry Brook, Pushed into the batter, on a good length, Harry Brook plays from the crease and nudges it to deep square leg for a run.

The last two overs have just shifted the momentum a bit. England have scored 24 runs in the last 12 balls, but one wicket here, and the balance will tilt again. Gudakesh Motie will bowl out here.

Roston Chase to Sam Curran, FOUR! Easy pickings for Curran! Gets the short ball at a comfortable height and blasts it with a pull shot through the vast vacant acreage in the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. 74 needed off 42 balls.

Roston Chase to Harry Brook, THREE WIDES! Darts it down the leg side, too full, targetting the ankle of the batter. Harry Brook gets inside the line to flick, but misses.

Gudakesh Motie to Sam Curran, Into the blockhole, on off, Sam Curran shovels it down from the inner half and the ball rolls through the vacant mid-wicket region. By the time the sweeper charges in off the ropes and collects the ball, the batters hare back for the second run. A profitable over for England. 11 runs from it. They need 87 from 48 balls.

Gudakesh Motie to Harry Brook, Short, on off, Brook pulls off the back foot to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Uh...oh! It looks like Sherfane Rutherford has hurt his right wrist while trying to make the stop. He is walking off the field now with the physio. West Indies will hope that it is nothing serious, as he is one of the key batters in the squad.

Gudakesh Motie to Harry Brook, FOUR! A welcome boundary for England! Way too short by Motie, on middle, Harry Brook uses the depth of the crease and nails the pull shot, bisecting the deep mid-wicket and deep square leg fielders. Sherfane Rutherford from deep mid-wicket, runs and slides to his left to flick the ball back in, but in this process, his wrists get buckled up and the ball evades him to the ropes.

Shamar Joseph to Sam Curran, BEAUTY! Nips away after pitching around off, on a good length. Sam Curran stays put, tries to block away from his body, but the ball zips past his outside edge by a kitten-whisker. Just 11 from the last 2 overs for England. They need 98 more from 54 balls.

Shamar Joseph to Sam Curran, Varies his pace, goes slow and short, outside off, Sam Curran flat bats it off the toe end and hits it straight back at the bowler.

Halfway reached. England are 93/4. West Indies were 79/4 at the same stage. But the way England were galloping in the Powerplay, the Men in Maroon have applied the pressure at the right time. Shamar Joseph is back on. 1-0-9-0 so far.

Gudakesh Motie to Jacob Bethell, OUT! BOWLED'EM! West Indies are slowly gaining control of this game now. Gudakesh Motie bowls the arm ball, full and on middle, goes with the arm, skids through and stays a bit low too. Jacob Bethell moves on the back foot, but he should have played it on the front foot. Before he gets his bat down, the ball already goes through and crashes into the stumps behind. Motie is off in celebration. England are 90/4, still needing 107 runs in 63 balls.

Tom Banton goes inside out to loft it away but the ball just holds up in the surface. He ends up chipping it wide of short extra cover, where Brandon King swiftly moves across and grabs a fantastic catch to his right. Banton departs for back-to-back low scores in this World Cup. The replay shows that Banton's bat got twisted at the point of contact, which indicates that he was a bit early into the shot, resulting in the loss of power and placement.
