A blistering 107 from Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran's half-century helped the West Indies secure a 20-run victory over England in Bridgetown Wednesday and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match Twenty20 International series. After losing the second match by one run, the hosts posted a challenging 224/5 in 20 overs with Powell's 53-ball knock including 10 sixes and four boundaries. The West Indies paceman Romario Shepherd took 3/59 while skipper Kieron Pollard claimed two wickets to seal the win. England stand-in skipper Moeen Ali said the side had missed Morgan's influence but looked forward to the final two matches Saturday and Sunday. "A fantastic partnership took the game away from us but proud of the way the boys batted at the end," Moeen said.
