Second T20:
England (171-8) beat W Indies (170-8) by one runWest Indies finish with highest-ever T20 ninth-wicket standOn a night of wildly unexpected suddenly inflating late drama in Bridgetown England snatched a scarring, fraught, very narrow victory from the jaws of a morale-boosting, straightforward and emphatic victory to nevertheless level the five-match Twenty20 series against West Indies at 1-1 with three to play.
After its dizzying conclusion, when Akeal Hosein had sent the last five legal deliveries of the night – there was a wide in there somewhere – for four, four, six, six and once again six, the home side, having inflicted upon England a morale-sapping thrashing in Saturday night’s opener, had somehow found a way of inflicting upon them a morale-sapping success, secured by a one-run margin.
