Spectators were left ducking for cover as the teams piled up a world record 46 sixes in St. George's -- 24 by England and 22 by West Indies. England's total surpassed the 23 hit by West Indies in the first game last week, while the combined tally bettered the 38 sixes hit by India and Australia in Bengaluru in 2013. West Indies impressively chased the target with opener Chris Gayle, who hoisted 14 sixes and passed 10,000 ODI career runs, smashing 162 from 97 balls. It took a fine spell by fast bowler Mark Wood (4-60) and a match-winning 48th over by leg-spinner Rashid (5-85) to seal victory as West Indies were dismissed for 389, their highest one-day score. West Indies captain Jason Holder said his team's batting attitude had been "not to die wondering".
