Roland-Jones to Alzarri Joseph, out Caught by Stokes!! Toby Roland-Jones rolls Windies' final wicket over to end the proceedings. Third biggest victory margin - win by 209 runs - for England against West Indies. Offers a length one to Joseph and asks him to have a crack at it, Joseph obliges and snicks an edge to the slip cordon. Flew low to the right of Stokes at third slip who did well to grab it inches above. Alzarri Joseph c Stokes b Roland-Jones 8(24) [4s-1]

41.2
Roland-Jones to Roach, no run, drives and misses? Bairstow heard something. In fact he was the only one who may have heard the edge. He convinces Root to go for the review, and the skipper obliges. With a slightly grumpy face albeit. And now YJB has a poker face. He surely heard something, but that could have been the Windies submission of edges. Nothing else. The TV umpire had a quick look, no time wasting tactics. Nothing on the UltraEdge and the onfield veridict remains unchanged

14.1

10.3
Roland-Jones to Shai Hope, no run. I had a lot of admiration for this guy, but must admit that this shot was probably the worst I've seen in his entire cricketing career. From whatever I saw. An outswinger outside off and what does Hope do? Sees the ball like a fly and tries to swat it away with a cross bat hoick. No dice. Mikey Holding must have fallen off his chair watching this. Gee!
10.2
Roland-Jones to Shai Hope, no run, back of a length on middle, stands tall and blocks, the other Hope
10.1
Roland-Jones to Kyle Hope, out Lbw!! And he gets a wicket right away? Kyle Hope out lbw? He reviews. Fair delivery says Gaffaney, hit him in line with leg-stump. Clearly no bat. Just shaving leg-stump, umpire's call and that will remain out. Went a bit wide of the crease, upped his pace and fired in around middle and leg. Hope was caught on the shuffle and by the time he got his bat down on the flick, umpire S Ravi's finger was up. Looked close real time, but technology proved that the ball didn't swing/seam much. Roland-Jones continues to have a fantastic summer. It nipped in a long way and the length was quite fuller, thanks to the replays. Kyle Hope lbw b Roland-Jones 12(15) [4s-2]
