England 204-5, WI won by 21 runsRovman Powell hits century off just 53 balls for hostsA match that offered fabulous entertainment, three marvellous individual innings, 31 sixes and the two highest scores ever posted in Twenty20 internationals at Kensington Oval ended with England falling 20 runs short of West Indies’ formidable total of 224 and falling 2-1 behind in what is proving a memorable five-game series.
On the pitch adjacent to the one on which both sides struggled to score in Saturday’s opening T20, neither was similarly inconvenienced. Tom Banton’s excellent 39-ball 73 kept England approximately on track to chase down their target, but unlike Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell, who had formed a formidable double act a little earlier, he did not find a teammate to help shoulder the burden.
