00:00Losing Alec Athanese for a duck wasn't the star the West Needs A-team had hoped for.
00:05He was just trying to turn it on the onside.
00:08But Cook Mackenzie and Kessie Carty made up with a productive second-wicket partnership.
00:13Here it comes, almost into the media center here.
00:17Both men not have sentries in a stand of 123 runs.
00:21In fact, he should get a couple.
00:25That's what we're up at, 50.
00:27But when Mackenzie fell on 53, it switched the momentum.
00:33As Carty followed him soon after on 57, West Needs A now 125-for-3.
00:39It took Shaqiri Paris and Joel Andrews 8 overs to add 41 runs before Andrews fell at 166-for-4.
00:46A rain delay at 199-for-4 killed off more momentum, with the match reduced to a 40-over affair.
00:52And the Caribbean men were stuck in the mud at the resumption, losing four wickets for seven runs at 206
00:58-for-8.
00:59As the host limped to 212-for-8 of their 40 overs.
01:03That's a good shot. He might get a second.
01:05In fact, they should be chasing it.
01:07And he's going to have to hurry.
01:09And I think he's made it.
01:10But the disappointment was gone in a hurry with the ball in their hands.
01:14He could be out though, because it's right down the throat of the man down there on the fence.
01:20Thomas Roo and Rian Ahmed back in the stands with 15 runs on the board.
01:24If he gets there, yes, he takes it.
01:26And that's a good delivery again from O'Shane Thomas.
01:29And O'Shane Thomas added a couple more to leave England Lions reeling at 54-for-4.
01:35Another rain delay changed the equation once more with the visitors now requiring 240 or 36 overs.
01:42And when a fifth English wicket fell on 58, the Caribbean men looked the sure bet to secure victory.
01:48But one with Roo making that bet as James Roo and Jack Haynes took over.
01:53That's what they're praying for, just to get a loose delivery or two.
01:57Roo in particular took apart the Windy's bowler, smashing 12 fours on his way to a ton.
02:03And brilliantly put together there.
02:07And when he departed on 101, Haynes continued the job with an unbeaten half-century.
02:15Again, Descartes, full stretch.
02:17Haynes finished on 74 off 70 balls as England got home at 244-6 to take a 1-0 lead
02:24in the five-match ODI series.
