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

Gudakesh Motie to Jacob Bethell, Shorter in length and on middle, Jacob Bethell pulls it away to deep square leg for a single.

Roston Chase to Jacob Bethell, Another short delivery, on leg. Jacob Bethell flicks it towards deep mid-wicket and thinks about the second but Shamar Joseph is quick to get to the ball and keeps it down to one.

Roston Chase to Tom Banton, Dragged back, on leg, Tom Banton nudges it through mid-wicket for one.

A wicket right after the break. How often have we seen that! Tom Banton makes his way to the middle at number 4.

Roston Chase to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Roston Chase has the last laugh here and gets a massive wicket for the Windies. It is a little bit slower than the one that was pumped for six, full, and on middle. Jos Buttler clears his front leg away to swat it down the ground. But this is not that short and he gets cramped up for room as well. He does not get the elevation and power on the shot as the ball flies towards long on, where Rovman Powell moves to his left, gets low and takes a good catch near his chest. England are 74/2, still needing 123 runs in 80 balls.

Roston Chase to Jos Buttler, SIX! Outta here! Flatter, delivery, not that short but spinning down the leg side. Jos Buttler picks up the length early, moves back and whacks it over the deep square leg fence for a biggie.

Roston Chase to Jacob Bethell, Floated, short and around off, Jacob Bethell moves back and punches it through covers for a single.

DRINKS BREAK. Phew! That was quite a breathless Powerplay. England have blasted off to 67/1, thanks to Phil Salt's blazing start, which provided a perfect base to launch the chase in the right direction. The surface, as expected, has held true and is a perfect one to dine on for the batters. There's not much sign of dew around, but bowling second at Wankhede is always a challenging task. Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell have added 29 runs together in a quick time to keep the tempo up. England need 130 runs from 84 and West Indies are searching for wickets. We saw in the first innings that pace-offs did work well in favor of the bowlers, but the Windies haven't deployed those variations regularly so far. The middle phase begins, and with that, Roston Chase is summoned into the attack to slow things down. 

Shamar Joseph to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Gets it away this time! Overpitched delivery, around off. Jos Buttler backs away again, but this time manages to get under it and drills it through covers for a boundary. England are 67/1 at the end of the Powerplay.

Akeal Hosein to Jacob Bethell, FOUR! Not convincingly played, but Bethell gets four runs added to his name, regardless. Akeal fires on a length, outside the off pole. Jacob Bethell is rushed on the back foot, looking to slash it through point, but gets a massive outside edge and the ball trickles to the deep third fence. Romario Shepherd is after it from the inner ring and tries to flick the ball in before diving over the ropes, but fails to do so. Shepherd indicates that it is a four, but the third umpire is brought in to be doubly sure. The verdict comes in the batter's favor as the replay confirms that the ball clearly kissed the boundary cushion.

Romario Shepherd to Phil Salt, OUT! CAUGHT! West Indies have their first one. Romario Shepherd bowls a short ball, on midde and leg. Phil Salt sees two fielders in the leg side outside the circle and tries to smash the ball down the ground, in the V, by advancing down the track. But gets massively cramped for room and his bat twists at the point of contact and lobs it to mid off where Sherfane Rutherford takes a good catch. Salt was looking ominous. He goes after providing a rapid-fire start for his team. England are 38/1, chasing 197.
