West Indies 212 (44.4 ovs) (N Pooran 63, S Hetmyer 39, C Gayle 36; M Wood 3-18, J Archer 3-30), England 213-2 (33.1 ovs) (J Root 100no, J Bairstow 45, C Woakes 40). Joe Root’s classy unbeaten century led England to a comprehensive eight-wicket victory over West Indies in a one-sided Cricket World Cup match in Southampton on Friday. England’s third win in four matches lifted them to second in the 10-team standings while West Indies are sixth following their second loss. It was a really good team effort and performance.”England made a fast start when Chris Woakes dismissed Evin Lewis for two before Wood dropped destructive West Indies opener Chris Gayle. Jason Roy had a stiff hammy but hopefully we don’t present serious injuries.”
