Victory gave them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the third of the five-match series after the second game was washed out last week. Joe Root with 84 and Ben Stokes (73) were the other main contributors to an imposing total of 369-9 off 50 overs. Then Ali took over, reaching his century off 53 balls, the last of them being his eighth six. Ali eventually holed out to long-off for 102 as West Indies' labouring bowlers went for 123 in the final 10 overs. Ali even took the final catch as the innings ended for 245 in the 40th over, Liam Plunkett finishing with 5-52.
