Big blow to England!

So far, it has been a World Cup of injuries. England will struggle if Jason Roy doesn't come out to bat. #ENGvWI

Brilliant spell by Archer!

#ENGvWI Two wickets in Two balls by Archer has put West Indies in dire conditions as they are 202/8 & Archer on hat Trick.

England was on point despite dropping a few catches!

Aside from a couple of blunders with high catches another clinical performance from England in the field. Windies might feel 250 will give them a sniff if Morgan and Roy are out but i’d say this is an easy win from here. #bbccricket #ENGvWI #CWC19

Bad day for Russell!

I hope they have a word with Russell. Can't bat like this. Have plenty of time left. Bat at no 9 if you want to just swing at everything

Injury blow to England!

Earlier, Jason Roy walked off due to niggle -wont bat till number 7- and now Morgan walks off as well.

Unforeseen challenges cropping up for England. Hope neither cases have any impact beyond this match.#CWC19 #EngvWI

Buttler was too good behind the stumps!

So England lose Morgan, who walked off, very gingerly, after dashing to the stumps to take a throw. But they don’t miss him yet, as Buttler goes for a shrewd review and Archer takes two wickets.
