3. Bravo and Brathwaite bring WI back
Just when Root and Buttler looked like taking the game away from West Indies, the Caribbean all-rounders Brathwaite and Bravo brought their side back into the game with three quick wickets.
Buttler, Stokes, Ali, and Root were dismissed in the space of 3 overs, with Brathwaite and Bravo sharing the credits.
While Brathwaite scalped Buttler and Ali, Bravo sent back Stokes, and the in-form, well-settled Root to quash England’s hopes of getting a good total on the board.
Brathwaite then returned in the 18th over to take the wicket of a dangerous-looking David Willey, who had raced away to 21 off 13 with 2 sixes.
Bravo, impressed yet again with his excellent death bowling by sending back Liam Plunkett in the 19th over courtesy an excellent diving catch by Samuel Badree.
It was due to their combined efforts that England were restricted to a measly total of 155/9.
