West Indies vs. England cricket series: T20 squads, fixtures and results
After the Test and ODI games the teams play three Twenty20 matches
England have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match Twenty20 series against the West Indies after a four-wicket victory in St Lucia.
The Windies scored 160-8 from their 20 overs and in reply England reached 161-6 with seven balls remaining. Jonny Bairstow hit an “eye-catching” 68 from 40 balls, the BBC reports, his highest score in an international T20 match.
England captain Eoin Morgan said: “I thought the bowlers were magnificent. Taking early wickets really did put us on the front foot because it’s something we’ve struggled to do this whole white-ball tour.

“I thought our seam bowlers did an incredible job, then followed up by a fine spell of bowling from Adil Rashid. Chris Jordan came back in and bowled really well and Tom Curran took four, but I thought Adil did really well.”
