WI vs ENG: Career-best T20 figures for Jason Holder lifted the West Indies to an early 1-0 series lead over England at the Kensington Oval.

Pollard’s men were unrelenting with the ball and in the field, restricting the tourists to 26/4 in the Powerplay. Holder claimed Tom Banton and Moeen Ali in successive deliveries, as Sheldon Cottrell (2/30 off four overs) made his mark at the other end.
