ODI WI v England Despite another overwhelming win, we can’t claim England frightened their main rivals around the world. In the two previous ODIs two batters made fifties; this time only Nat Sciver produced the goods (85). She had a productive stand of 90 in 13 overs with Danni Wyatt, but for once Wyatt couldn’t
Windies v England Second ODI, Antigua Jon Lewis, newly installed as England head coach, has set two principal targets: the T20 World Cup and the Ashes.
