Mark Wood took three wickets for just 18 runs in 6.4 overs as the West Indies batsman failed to decode him, as expected. Wood had a good outing when England toured West Indies before the World Cup as the Windies were troubled by his pace and variety.

Opening the batting for England in place of Jason Roy, Joe Root scored an unbeaten 94-ball hundred to guide his team to an eight-wicket win. Root shared a 95-run partnership for the first wicket with Jonny Bairstow and a 104-run partnership with Chris Woakes for the second wicket. This is Root's second hundred at this World Cup and he now has three overall at the quadrennial tournament. ▲
