West Indies vs England 2017: 3rd ODI, 5 Talking Points

#1 The West Indian collapse

Woakes triggered a Windies collapse by taking two wickets in his first two overs

If the England innings seemed like a fast forwarded movie courtesy whirlwind knocks from Alex Hales and Joe Root, the West Indian innings was three times quicker. They lost six wickets for 45 runs by the 17th over.

Finn initiated the collapse in the third ball of the innings when he dismissed Kieron Powell, caught at square leg. Woakes took a wicket apiece in his first two overs of Evin Lewis and Kraigg Brathwaite; his precise lines combined with the pace of Finn and Plunkett were too hot for the Windies to handle.

Plunkett came into the attack and cleaned up Jason Mohammed's stumps before having Shai Hope and Jason Holder off consecutive balls in the 17th over. The West Indian collapse was least surprising given the way they have batted right through the series. They never recovered from the early collapse and succumbed to their worst loss at home in terms of runs.
