England 288/6 (50 ov) - West Indies won the toss and chose to field
On Saturday, June 16, in the first One Day International (ODI) of the three-match series, West Indies after winning the toss got jabbed for 288 runs by hosts England at The Rose Bowl, Southampton.
Although by the end of their innings, England managed to post a daunting total, but this was not the case when the game began as they lost their skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026, without a run on the board which was a big blow for the Englishmen.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IJL-Trott-c1576 bolstered a stupendous stand as they neutralized the West Indies bowlers by hammering them all around the park.
The duo played a vital role in preventing a batting collapse and grounded the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 bowlers, who had earlier gone ballistic on capturing the wicket of Cook.
Finally with 108 runs on the board, England lost their second wicket on the demise of Trott, who was caught behind on a delivery by SP Narine after smashing an innings of 42 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RS-Bopara-c2373, who wanted to make a mark in this match, failed to prosper as he was dismissed for eight runs, leaving his team standing on a total of 136 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/EJG-Morgan-c1419 then became another hard nut to crack for West Indies as the batsman forged a handsome partnership alongside Bell, and played a role in taking the side to a total of 187.
The batsman then faltered after playing an innings of 21 runs as he had his stumps incinerated by MN Samuels.
Wicketkeeper/batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379 after belting a mammoth knock of 126 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 then batted 21 and 22 runs, while Kieswetter stayed unbeaten on a tally of 38 to help England secure a formidable total in 50 overs.
