A very strong Powerplay for West Indies. England's young attack lacking consistency.

 
5.6
Jordan to Gayle, FOUR, doesn't quite get this one full enough and it's a perfect driveable length for Gayle as he drills it straight down the ground
5.5
Jordan to Gayle, no run, and another, two pinpoint yorkers in a row, defended to the off side
 

Muhammad Adnan: "@Anveet, you reminded me of my childhood when i was deprived of strike in every over coz i was a child and supposed to be a bunny with the bat."

 
5.4
Jordan to Gayle, no run, that's well bowled, gets the yorker on target, Gayle jabs down to keep it out
5.3
Jordan to Gayle, no run, he escapes with a full toss as Gayle drives it straight to cover, then has a glance towards the square-leg umpire to see if it's a no-ball
5.3
Jordan to Gayle, 1 wide, another wide, full down the leg side...England have some problems
5.3
Jordan to Gayle, 1 wide, low full toss, down the leg side...an attempted cross-seam slower ball from Jordan
 

Samuels had three consecutive overs then these two deliveries

 
5.2
Jordan to Samuels, 1 run, slower ball, a fuller delivery, driven towards mid-off who is hanging back and the crowd cheers as Gayle comes back on strike
 

Avneet : "Samuels being a typical street cricketer. Taking single off last ball of every over to keep strike"

 
5.1
Jordan to Samuels, FOUR, pure power! Short of a length and Samuels flat-bats a pull straight of mid-on...Gayle can continue to sit on his bat at the non-striker's end
