6th over 60-1 (Gayle 49, Hope 3) Gayle , solid as a buffalo, somehow muscles Wood out of the ground past the cement mixer for six. Then another, into the delighted spectators slurping slush puppy lime at the mid-wicket boundary, a tiny twirl with the feet and its whoosh for the max. Wood slams one short into the pitch over his head in revenge – that’s topping 90mph. And then with a gentil single, that’s fifty for Gayle off 19 balls. He takes off his helmet, perches it on the top of his bat, struts about the crease and enjoys the worship.
5th over 45-1 (Gayle 37, Hope 3) A quieter over for Woakes. Another appeal for lbw off the last ball of the over after Hope has a swing and misses… .but the umpires say no and Eoin Morgan agrees.
