Wow can't believe it got that close. Relief England just about got the win.
Shaheen Afridi won ICC Cricketer of the Year.
Joe Root - Best Test Player
Babar Azam - Best ODI Player
Rizwan - Best T20 player
Best Test XI: Dimuth Karunaratne (SL), Rohit Sharma (India), Marnus Labuschagne (AUS), Joe Root (ENG), Kane Williamson (NZ), Fawad Alam (PAK), Rishabh Pant (IND, WK), Ravichandran Ashwin (IND), Kyle Jamison (NZ), Hasan Ali (PAK) and Shaheen Afridi (PAK).
Toss delayed because of rain. Looks like Garton and Salt will get debuts and there might be no Morgan with Moeen captain.
England, with Brook also debuting, have taken a bit of a tonking. WI hit 224-5, Rovman Powell with a century.
WI win by 20 runs though Banton and Salt had good knocks for England.

England tonight made 193-6, Roy with 52, Moeen with 63. WI are 67-1 after 8 overs.
England make one change for the decider, Mahmood comes in for Mills. WI win the toss and will bat first.
Moeen's timing seems a tad off compared to yesterday
Mo gone for 14. Can Livingstone do better?
This is not going well. Livingstone needed to bat for Vince for abit. Not good enough really.
Vince gone, that's game done now.
Not getting bat on ball on free hits. Jesus

Wow. Holder polishes it off with 4 wickets in 4 balls.
Absolutely no idea why I continued to watch this, no surprise we collapsed.. but this game was lost by that absolute rubbish bowling at the end
Wow they’re still giving Jordan a go?
Another pasting for him I see again.
Albeit nowhere near full strength, disappointing end.
One of these days it will dawn on the selectees that Jordan and Mills are not international standard cricketers.
With Mills, Essex don’t tend to let bowlers go if they are any good.
Paul Collingwood has been appointed interim head coach for next month's Tests.

Appoint someone who was part of the Silverwood team lol.
Surely it'll only be for this tour, squad announcement today, should be new faces given a chance you'd think
Sounds like Anderson and Broad have been dropped for the Windies tour
yeah sounds about right. two world class bowlers dropped. our back up bowling is terrible. apart from Robinson
Joe Root (Yorkshire) captain
Jonathan Bairstow (Yorkshire)
Zak Crawley (Kent)
Matthew Fisher (Yorkshire)
Ben Foakes (Surrey)
Dan Lawrence (Essex)
Jack Leach (Somerset)
Alex Lees (Durham)
Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire)
Craig Overton (Somerset)
Matthew Parkinson (Lancashire)
Ollie Pope (Surrey)
Ollie Robinson (Sussex)
Ben Stokes (Durham)
Chris Woakes (Warwickshire)
Mark Wood (Durham)
Not sure what to make of this because there's good things here but also terrible things.
Mahmood, Parkinson and Foakes are all good players who deserve their shot, but dropping Broad and Jimmy whilst persisting with Overton is mad.
Also there's no number 3 which suggests Bairstow is going to play there, which is always an abysmal idea.
Looks like they're trying out some new/different players. Maybe the WI series isn't seen as a high priority.
Butler deserved to be dropped, Broad and Anderson will finish this summer and they are rightly looking at moving forward without them. I'm not sure Fisher is the answer though, he is not quite quick enough for Test level, but who knows he may surprise. Lees is the next cab off the opener rank, again he may surprise but I've seen nothing to suggest he can make the step up.
