England won a serial victory with a match to lose when they chased 197 in the second international T20 in Bristol to win five victories in five over the Antilles.
The visitors had given themselves a good chance to win a first victory for their white ball tour when they broke 75 of the last four letters of their sleeves – including 31 of the 19th by Adil Rashid – to publish 196-6 after being inserted by Harry Brook during the draw.
JOS Buttler (47 OFF 36) and Brook (34 off 20) fell into consecutive letters to have England 126-4 in the 14th above their response, only for Jacob Bethell (26 out of 10) and Tom Banton (30 Off 11) to stop the ball at all games and see the interior team above the line with nine deliveries to lose.
After winning the ODI 3-0 series, England is now considering another scan of the third and final T20i in Southampton Tuesday – Live Sky Sports Cricket From 6 p.m. (first ball, 6.30 p.m.).
After Liam Dawson’s stars turn During his reintroduction to England, folded back into the first T20i on Friday evening, Luke Wood (2-25) also took advantage of his first appearance in almost two years, hitting with the very first ball in Bristol.
The corridor of the left arm, having replaced Matthew Potts in the side, rejected Evin Lewis for a duck with a devastating oscillating yorker who trapped the LBW opener.
Shai Hope (49 out of 38) and Johnson Charles (47 out of 39) would quickly and impressively strengthen a 90 -point partnership after this early blow to throw the foundations for the Antilles to launch, only for a few quick counters to shake the side turned again.
Three fell for the addition of only 27 points in the space of 4.4 Overs, Hope is perplexed by a rashid beauty, Sherfane Rutherford (6) fell at a lower cost and the wood struck for the second time to see Charles.
But just when it seemed that England had to limit the Antilles to a total of the category, Rovman Powell took a step of 34 fast bullets before Jason Holder (29 Off 9) and Romario Shepherd (19 out of 11) are doing towards a devastating effect against Rashid in the preulti.
Chasing 197, England lost Jamie Smith (4) in the second only, but a bit like the Antilles sleeves, Buttler and Ben Duckett (30 out of 18) at the solid stand of second window to see the hosts 58-1 after the power game at six.
The partnership ended in a rather spectacular way in the eighth, Powell taking a great dive in Midwicket to reject Duckett.
Charles took a look at a much easier effort to see Buttler for 43, but put it down, but fortunately for him, he would make sure that the former England captain the second time shortly after, for the cost of only four additional points.
Brook, who had hammered two borders and one 12th of Shepherd over the age of 20, then followed buttler in the pavilion in the 14th when England had suddenly looked in difficulty.
Not the case. Banton Slog swallowed his very first ball for six, while he and Bethell cleaned the strings on four other occasions – plus a border – over the next two Overs to put England firmly in the ascent.
Although Bethell would go late, Banton saw the side at home for a victory in the series.
England captain Harry Brook, addressing Sky Sports:
“Incredible. An excellent start of the T20 boys. We had a lot of fun there and hunted the scoring beautifully.
“I have said many times, we have a lot of depth (shot).
“It gives us great confidence by knowing that we have Will Jacks, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell hitting five, six and seven. The first order can all go firearms there.”
“With small limits here, we estimated that the Antilles were under peer by around 30 points.”
Player of the match, Bowler England Luke Wood:
“I haven’t been in the team for a year and a half, two years, so it’s nice to come back and have an impact.
“There is always a little nerves that come back, therefore (the counter of the first ball from Evin Lewis) installs you, gives you good confidence.
“It is good to win any series, especially at the back of the ODI while keeping the momentum. I hope we can do 3-0 in a few days.”
