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

#1 Liam Plunkett uses his chance

Plunkett produced the key wicket of Carter to disrupt the chase

Plunkett is one of the fastest bowlers in England. With an ability to hit the deck hard and generate swing and seam, he is a handful in favourable conditions. Since England have had a plethora of options with the ball, Plunkett has been largely restricted to the sidelines.

With an opportunity in his hands at Antigua, Plunkett brought out his A game. He had Kieran Powell early on edging a pull to Jason Roy at point. He returned to break the Carter-Mohammad partnership by having Carter caught in the deep off a good bouncer.

He prized out Jason Holder in his very next over, once again using his pace and bounce. By cleaning up Gabriel's stumps, Plunkett finished with figures of 8.2-1-40-4.
