West Indies vs England, 2nd T20I at St George's, WI v ENG, Dec 14 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary

steps away and swats another boundary off the final ball, bouncing away wide of long-on - but West Indies take victory, a 10-run margin enough for a 2-0 series lead

helicoptered over deep third! Rehan breaks the wrists to get a full ball away behind square, almost Suryakumar Yadav-esque. But it's in vain

full on off, 134kph/83mph and he can't get under it, clubbed to long-on and they take the single this time

full length outside off, swing and a miss! It was there to hit, and Moeen knows it. He leans on his bat in frustration

full and wide and Moeen drives to deep extra cover along the ground. He turns down the single, knows he's got to win it off his own bat here

misses the yorker and gets pumped! Perfect start to the over for Moeen. Right under his eyes and nonchalantly bashed over long-on

short, 119kph and clubbed over point, the ball plugs and spins to the sweeper but they don't take the one

swings leg side but picks out the man! Woakes can't time his cross-batted heave and it's a good running, tumbling catch by Hetmyer to see him off. This has been a superb over from Holder so far to bring victory in sight for West Indies

full and sliding leg side, nutmegs Woakes as he swings across it! Pooran collects one-handed for a dot ball

slips in the yorker and Moeen does well to dig it out straight back past Holder's boot, but only gets one down the ground

pace off again, I think. Woakes heaves it through midwicket but it's just one to Hetmyer in the deep

round the wicket, full-length cutter outside off, Moeen plinks it down to long-off on the bounce

short outside off, 128kph/79mph and Woakes miscues it to backward point

swatted for one into the off side

thumped over deep cover! Moeen is alive and kicking here! Goes across his stumps to counter the line and fair smacks it for six

smoked! Length ball wide of off and Moeen connects. Lusty swing and it disappears out to the extra cover boundary

length on the stumps, 140kph/87mph and whipped away through midwicket

sliced in the air, straight to deep point! Think Curran was looking to hit down the ground but it flies up and away towards Hosein, who takes a comfortable catch. Joseph's plane to bowl wide to the left-hander pays off. Is that the game for West Indies?

nails his yorker, 133kph/82mph on middle and leg, Moeen forced to dig it out

length ball outside off, prodded back down to long-off. Curran brings up his maiden T20I fifty, raises the bat to his team-mates. Still a lot of work to do from here to win it
