England vs West Indies 2017: 1st ODI, 5 Talking Points

#4 Shannon Gabriel's spicy spell

Gabriel produced a riveting opening spell

Shannon Gabriel had knocked over the likes of Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers in the triangular series last year with his fiery pace and movement though the air. On a slow wicket, the broad-shouldered fast bowler once again found his rhythm.

He had Jason Roy trapped right in front of the middle stump with a back of a length delivery that skidded off the surface to rap his pads. Gabriel had shown the ability to make the ball move quickly through the air and skid off the wicket previously too.

If Roy was a prized scalp, a bigger prize was yet to come from the West Indian. In his next over, he had Joe Root's stumps in tatters with another skiddy ball that kept low to beat his bat. Billings and Morgan played him with relative ease later on and his figures took a beating.
