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

DRINKS BREAK. West Indies have stormed to 72/1 since the Powerplay, with 44 of those coming in the last three overs alone. The second Adil Rashid was taken out of the attack, the shackles came off and Rutherford, in particular, has gone into full launch mode. 200 is very much a possibility given how deep this West Indian team bats. Brook is searching for wickets and stopping the run flow. And for that, he goes back to his trumpcard. Adil Rashid (2-0-8-1) is brought back on, replacing Jofra Archer.

Adil Rashid to Roston Chase, OUT! LBW! Rashid is back to business after one off game. Adil dishes out a cunning googly. It pitches fairly outside off and dramatically spins back into the batter, skidding off a bit as well. Roston Chase goes back and across to work it to the leg side, but the ball stays low and beats his bat to rap his back pad. Given out LBW on-field on the appeal, but Chase has challenged the decision with a review. UltraEdge detects nothing. Ball Tracking presents three reds as the ball is projected to crash into the leg stump, such is the turn. Chase probably thought that it did a bit too much, but he takes the review with him. Adil Rashid bags his 400th T20 wicket.

Seeing Chase scooting to the other end, he throws it in a motion to the bowling end, and scores a direct hit. But the replay shows that Roston has cleanly dragged his bat in the crease before the stumps were hit.
