England Vs West Indies 3rd ODI - West Indies in England, 5 ODI Series, 2017 - summary

The end-over batting heroics have totally overshadowed the brilliant start Holder gave to his team by picking up two quick wickets. Miguel Cummins got three to his name but went for plenty in the process. West Indies will now hope for the Gayle storm to wreck havoc and Evin Lewis to go berserk as well, as that seems to be their best option to chase this mammoth total down. There is rain forecast in the second half and that will play a part as well. Join us in a while for it.

Blistering knocks at the end of the innings have helped England post a massive total on the board. The hosts were struggling at 74-3 but the 132-run stand between Root and Stokes helped them steady the ship. Both of them scored fifties to set the platform but could not capitalize on it. A late surge from Mooen Ali took the game completely away from the visitors as he blasted a fantastic 102 off just 57 balls. Woakes also supported him ably as they both smacked 117 runs together at a lightening pace for the 8th wicket.

That's a run saved and the number 11 will be on strike next ball.

WEST INDIES PLAYING XI - Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Shai Hope(wk), Marlon Samuels, Jason Mohammed, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder(c), Ashley Nurse, Devendra Bishoo, Jerome Taylor, Miguel Cummins.

ENGLAND PLAYING XI - Jonny Bairstow, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(wk), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, David Willey.

TOSS - West Indies win the toss and choose to field.

England would be wary of the threat that the tourists possess and they would try to see to it that there's no slip-up from their end. As announced by skipper Eoin Morgan, there might be no rotation of players just for the sake of it and thus, expect them to go in with an unchanged side. It promises to be an exciting encounter. Stay with us as we get you all the live action.

Hello folks! The Gayle-storm may strike England today - that's the big happy news for West Indies going into the third ODI. Welcome to our coverage of the third game of the series, played at the County Ground in Bristol. The track is supposed to be a tad slow but that hardly matters when the opener, who has recovered from his hamstring injury, decides to cut loose. The conditions may mean that the slower bowlers stand a chance of getting some purchase from the wicket.

So, England continue to extend their lead in the series. It stands 2-0 in the hosts' favour with two more games to be played. The visitors would hope to put up a better show in the upcoming games. That's it from us in this game. Do join us for the next one which is at The Oval on Wednesday, 27th September, 2017 at 1230 local time (1130 GMT). Till then adios! Take care!

Man of the Match, MOEEN ALI says that it was nice to get himself in and play the shots later on. Reckons that he planned to let loose after getting a bit of balls under his belt. Mentions that he enjoys the responsibility lower down the order as it also gives him the authority to play shots later on. Adds that he is currently enjoying his game out here and hopes to win this series 4-0.

EOIN MORGAN, the England skipper, is happy with today's performance especially after losing the toss. Adds that Ali's innings today was the difference between the sides and he delivers when the team requires him to. Reckons that even though West Indies came out positively and scored boundaries at the start, anything above 360 is a tough chase. Is pleased with his bowlers executing their plans. States that Plunkett extracted a lot from this surface which ended up being good for them. Ends saying that they would be ruthless over the next two games also.

JASON HOLDER, the West Indian skipper says that Rovman Powell brought them into the game but they faltered again at the death where they went for plenty. Reckons that the balance was decent but they could not execute their plans. Mentions that hopefully they could do better in the next game. States that they could have bowled better in the death and feels that 300-320 was par on this track. Adds that they were sloppy in the field which they need to correct. Credits Chris Gayle for his performance. Ends by saying that players need to take ownership for their parts and that might help their cause.

Earlier in the evening, Moeen Ali enthralled the audience at Bristol with some brilliant batting. He along with Ben Stokes and Joe Root entertained the crowd. The match saw as many as 28 sixes being hit, the most in an ODI in the United Kingdom. Morgan will be really happy with this win as it would have enabled him to tick most of the boxes. Stay tuned, as we get you the presentation in a while.

West Indies' batting innings was all about Chris Gayle. Till the time he was at the crease, they were hopeful of running England close to the finish line. But Rashid's moment of brilliance on the field brought curtains to the whirlwind knock. Apart from the opener, only the two Jasons - Mohammed and Holder got some runs but it just wasn't enough.

England's second-biggest win over West Indies in limited over games - that's the magnitude of this win! Liam Plunkett can easily be termed as the star in this innings. A fifer in an ODI is rarity these days and he'll do well to savour this feat. England put up a clinical performance today. He was ably assisted by Adil Rashid, who picked up three wickets after coming in to bowl quite late in the innings.

Nurse has to walk back and the visitors are closer to doom.
