    So that is it from this game! A one-sided one in which the English have come out on top. We have two games for you on Saturday though and let us hope we have two crackers. The first one is a clash between Sri Lanka and Australia which will begin at 1030 local (0930 GMT). It will be followed by South Africa and Afghanistan which will start at 1330 local (1230 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!

    England skipper, Eoin Morgan, says it is his back and it is sore at the moment and he hopes it settles down before the next game. Further adds Roy has gone for a scan and his results should be out in the next 48 hours. Stresses everybody in their squad is vital and they do not want any injuries and he hopes it is nothing series. Mentions they had a very good day at the office. Tells the bowlers stuck to their plans and continued building pressure during the middle overs. Credits Root for how he played and says he is an integral part of the team. Admits Archer, like everybody in his bowling unit is a pleasure to captain. Tells his plans have remained the same, the personnel have changed but the plans have remained the same. States the players who are left out will play a crucial part at sometime. Ends by saying they want to be in the best possible condition on Tuesday as they can't take the Afghanistan team lightly.

    West Indies skipper, Jason Holder, says they did not have enough runs on the board and they lost wickets at crucial stages. States a couple of more partnerships would have been good for them. Further adds they did decently with the bat in Powerplay 1 but lost their way in the middle overs. Admits there were a few careless shots by their batsman and they need to dig deep and look to build partnerships. Reckons they were a touch down in pace and they did not get the short ball high enough but overall they did not have a lot to defend. Stresses they have a few days before their next game and they need to get fit for that. Ends by saying the past can't be controlled and they need to look ahead now and play good cricket.

    Joe Root showed supreme form with the bat and he was handy with the ball as well. He hunted down two wickets and enjoyed a good day at work. After receiving his MAN OF THE MATCH award, Root says that he is really pleased and happy to be on the winning side. States it was a good toss to win as they got to take the advantage of the pitch early on and then they did well to press home the advantage. Mentions it was just nice to get some time out in Powerplay 1 and it was good to find the gaps. Stresses there is not a lot of difference in batting at 3 and opening the innings. Further adds it was great to bat around Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes who played really well. Tells that you have to prepare for everything and then back yourself. Ends by saying he tried a few things with the ball and it's still work in progress. Ends by saying, he is finding different ways to contribute to the side.

    For West Indies, their batting didn't put up much fight and they ended with a paltry total on the board. Defending such totals, the Windies would have hoped for some early wickets but that didn't happen as the pair of Joe and Jonny provided England a rollicking start. Altogether it was a listless effort from them in all the facets of the game and got outplayed.

    A thumping win for England! They have steamrolled West Indies by 8 wickets and 101 balls to spare. Injuries to Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan didn't bother them much as Joe Root stepped up to the plate and notched up his second century in this World Cup. First with Jonny Bairstow, he provided the chase a solid beginning and then along with Chris Woakes, he raised a century stand to shut every door of hope for West Indies.

    Jason Holder to Ben Stokes

    FOUR, FOUR! Stokes finishes the game off with a boundary! Takes full toll of the Free Hit. Holder bowls it very full on leg stump. Stokes whips it past mid on and the ball races away. He walks up to Root and hugs him. All smiles in the England camp as THEY WIN BY 8 WICKETS and 101 balls to spare!

    FREE HIT TIME!

    Jason Holder to Ben Stokes

    5nb

    no ball, FOUR, NO BALL AND FOUR! Now it should be the last over of the game. Just the 4 needed now and Stokes has a Free Hit on the next ball to finish the game. Shortish and outside off, Stokes does not hit it right off the middle but gets it past mid off. The fielder does give it a chase but fails to stop the ball. Holder also has overstepped.

    Jason Holder to bowl what could be the last over of the game!

    1

    1 run, 100 for Joe Root. His second century in this World Cup! He becomes only the second Englishman to get 2 centuries in the same World Cup after Kevin Pietersen in 2007. This has been a gem of a knock from the Yorkshire man. He gets to 16th ODI hundred with a pull towards fine leg for a single. Joe has played that short with so much comfort today. He was asked to open the innings due to an injury to Roy and he stepped up to deliver. Has oozed class throughout this innings.

    200 runs for ENG

    Well...well...well... Gabriel pulls out of his run up and looks to be in some pain. Don't know what exactly the issue is. The last thing West Indies want from this game is injury.

    Ben Stokes is the new man in.

    Shannon Gabriel to Chris Woakes

    W

    out, OUT! Not that this wicket changes the result of the game but West Indies will take it. Saves them some blushes. Short ball on off, Woakes looks to pull but does not time it well. It flies towards deep square leg. For a moment it looks like it will fall short but substitute, Fabian Allen, comes in front and takes a very good catch by going down low. He does a fist pump looking at the crowd.

    DRINKS! The result is probably a no-brainier at the moment. It is now more about - will Root get to his ton? Will Woakes get to his half ton? Will England win the match by 9 wickets? We'll find out shortly.

Bravo gives it a chase and looks to pull it back before the boundary cushion but his legs touch the rope while the ball was in contact with his hands.

    Drinks Break! Jonny Bairstow has departed but he has set the platform for this chase. With just 118 required and 9 wickets in hand England are surely on the front foot. Joe Root is still out there and looking good to get one more 50-plus score in this World Cup. Though this wicket has given them some hope, West Indies need a miracle to win this game from here on. And here is a surprise... CHRIS WOAKES comes out to bat. He's quite handy with the bat and England are just showing off their batting depth here.

    14.4

    Shannon Gabriel to Jonny Bairstow

    W

    out, OUT! In the air... taken! West Indies finally have a wicket. Bairstow misses out on a half ton. His idea was right but just could not execute it. He makes room expecting another short ball. Does get one. He tries to upper cut it over the third man fence but does not get the distance. Carlos Brathwaite there settles under it and takes it. End of an entertaining knock by Jonny. An amazing partnership with Root comes to an end. They have more-or-less done their job. 118 more needed.

    Picking a one-dimensional bowling attack is hurting West Indies here. It's always handy to have variations in your bowling. The sameness of pace has allowed both the openers to settle in. Remember, when England were under the pump during the partnership between Hetmyer and Pooran, they used Joe Root to break that stand. Jason Holder also needs to come up with something different. Maybe, toss the ball to Chris Gayle.

Back of a length ball on off, Root taps it down to backward point and takes off for a quick single. The fielder has a shy at the keeper's end but misses. The ball goes behind towards the fielder at mid-wicket who was around the edge of the circle but Root had got too far in front so they cannot take the second.

    Such is England's batting talent. Their two crucial batsmen got injured but it has not mattered much to them. They have shown that the Plan B was ready for such scenarios and Joe Root has stepped up to deliver as an opener. The English team is in cruise control at the moment against some listless bowling from West Indies.

    0

    no run, Cottrell starts with a bouncer. It is on the leg side, Bairstow ducks under it. There were some doubts whether it is a wide or not but the umpire is happy.

    We are back for the chase! The West Indies players are in a huddle before they take their positions in the field. Jason Roy is injured and also he cannot bat before number 7. So Jonny Bairstow walks out with a new partner in Joe Root. Both are from Yorkshire so understanding should not be an issue. This is the first time that Root is opening for England in ODIs. Sheldon Cottrell to operate with the first new ball.
