WI vs ENG: England defeat Windies in thriller in 2nd T20I;
WI vs ENG: England claimed their first victory in any format since November 1, holding on by a single run at Kensington Oval.
In spite of a slow surface, Jason Roy’s middle-over flurry set up a total of 171/8, which was almost chased down by a scarcely-believable ninth-wicket partnership between Akeal Hosein and Romario Shepherd.
Needing 15 an over from the last five overs, the pair combined for 72 runs, of which 28 were scored in the final over.
Hosein moved from 18 (10) to 44 (16) in the final over bowled by Saqib Mahmood, hitting sixes off the final three deliveries. Shepherd at the other end finished unbeaten on 44 (28).
