Series: West Indies tour of England, 2017 Venue: Headingley, Leeds Date & Time: Aug 25-Aug 29, 11:00 AM LOCAL
Kieran Powell 23(50)
15.6
Broad to K Powell, out Caught by Stokes!! Broad can't believe that a catch has been taken or he was praying inside: Don't drop this lads. England have a wicket, and more importantly an opening. My colleague Pratyush Sinha feels that Jimmy got under his skin and that is what prompted a wrong shot from Powell. Fair point that. Broad came round the wicket, angled it in and made Powell play at that, a wee bit of away movement off the seam shook the outside edge and went flying to Stokes at fourth slip. Stokes won't drop many. K Powell c Stokes b Broad 23(50) [4s-5]
15.5
Broad to K Powell, no run, withdraws from the stroke at the last possible instant
15.4

14.5
Anderson to K Powell, no run, swerves away after pitching, Powell doesn't bother
14.4

13.4
Broad to K Powell, no run, from wide of the crease, swung back in. All that after it went past the batsman
13.3

10.1
Anderson to K Powell, FOUR, a gimme on the pads, glanced away to the fine leg fence
9.6
Broad to Kraigg Brathwaite, FOUR, dropped by Cook. Broad puffs his cheeks in disgust. Brathwaite literally spoon-fed an edge to first slip where Cook - maybe - wasn't alert enough to close his palms. Or perhaps surprised by the pace. Just burst through his fingers as he went to his left. Either way, Brathwaite gets a life. Count #1

6.1
Anderson to K Powell, no run, and it's swinging right away; on and around fifth stump channel, Anderson takes it away from the left-hander from a good length. Played inside the line
5.6
Moeen Ali to Kraigg Brathwaite, no run, Root beckons his teammates to ponder a review. They don't go for it, and rightly. Moeen got the ball to beat the outside edge here. Little bit of drift and then holds its line, Kraigg Brathwaite went back to play for the turn and was hit on side of the back leg. Impact outside off, so a review saved
