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.

ENGLAND WIN BY 124 RUNS AND TAKE AN UNASSAILABLE 2-0 LEAD IN THE SERIES!

Misses the ball and gets hit on the pads adjacent to the stumps. On appeal, the umpire rules him out. For some strange reason, after some discussion with Holder, he decides to review. But hold on, it is tighter than it seems. Hawk Eye shows that it would have just gone on to clip the top of the stumps. So it stays as umpire's call, which is out. Nurse has to walk back and the visitors are closer to doom.
Nurse has been adjudged LBW. He's decided to review the same. Looked plumb to the naked eye.

26.5
Chris Woakes to Chris Gayle, out, OUT! Chris Gayle has to depart, courtesy some brilliance in the field from Adil Rashid! Slower fuller ball on the pads, Gayle plays it with soft hands towards mid-wicket and sets off for a run. Rashid from mid-wicket rushes there and hurls a throw at the bowler's end and hits the bull's eye. The umpire goes upstairs. Replays show that he is just short and hence has to walk back now. He's dismissed in the 90s in ODIs for the first time since 2008 and now England would sniff a chance. Gayle's Achilles heel has brought his downfall. Often fielding masterpieces help shift the momentum of the game from one side to the other. Will this be the case now?

15.3
Liam Plunkett to Marlon Samuels, out, OUT! England make a successful use of the review! Plunkett bowls it full outside off, Samuels looks to drive but seems to have missed that. Buttler and Root, from slip, appeal as they hear something, the umpire stays put though. Bowler seems unsure, but the two guys behind the stumps are pretty sure and they insist their skipper review it, who eventually obliges. Snicko shows the faintest of spikes as the ball passes the edge of the bat. That prompts the third umpire to overturn the on-field decision. Samuels has to walk back now. He doesn't look happy with that. The evidence wasn't really conclusive as to the presence of the edge. But we will have to stay with the final call, nevertheless.
England have opted for a review. They feel Marlon Samuels has nicked one back to the keeper.
