Levelling the series should be as simple as strolling to 114 for the West Indies. But what on earth has happened to England? On a challenging but far from impossible surface they have fallen apart. There was no ability or willingness to adapt to the conditions. Only Buttler considered the idea.

Bairstow went early as he has licence to do. Hales looked out of sorts until he perished. Then the rest got out attacking the short ball, at least until Curran was foxed by having one pitched up. Bowled out for 113, this is right from the vault of impressive England capitulations, but it comes in an era where the ODI team at least hasn’t been prone to this sort of thing. Perhaps it’s the inevitable risk of their high-octane style.

Buttler and Hales made the equal top score with 23. There were several starts, with the whole middle order soaking up a decent number of deliveries, but it didn’t help provide a sense of how to play on this pitch.

Brathwaite was outstanding, with 2 for 17 from his eight overs. Holder took 2 for 28 from seven. Cottrell took 1 for 23, as well as three catches. And Thomas took the spoils of 5 for 21 from just 31 deliveries.

“With England knocked over for 113,” writes Avitaj Mira, “is this now the biggest difference in runs for a side batting in consecutive matches? 418 - 113 = 305.”

Outstanding stat. Someone like Andrew Samson would know for sure, but I’m pretty confident in saying it’s true.

And no time to draw breath because we’re about to continue. The meal break won’t be taken because England are all out too early in the day. So the West Indies are about to bat for a while, and I’m about to hand over to Tanya Aldred. Thanks for your company on a memorable day.
