Holder capitalised, pulling a drag down over square leg first ball before slamming two more sixes down the ground in simple but brutal fashion.

The recalled Evin Lewis pulled Brydon Carse to mid-wicket, Brandon King drove Matthew Potts to point and Shai Hope pulled Saqib Mahmood to deep square leg all within the first powerplay – an opening 10 overs delayed by 30 minutes after the Windies were stuck in traffic – but those wickets came amid the regular loss of line and length by England's pace trio.

The highlight was Brydon Carse's spectacular catch at deep square leg to hold West Indies captain Shai Hope off Mahmood.

He limited risks and repeatedly knocked the ball into the leg side to counter spin as Harry Brook was caught and bowled by Nabi for 25, Buttler top-edged to deep square leg and Liam Livingstone sliced a cut on 10.

Having batted from the first over to the last, he was finally out caught at deep square leg to the first ball of the 50th over off Livingstone but the damage had been done.
