| England maul West Indies by 7 wickets in 1st ODI courtesy Jonny Bairstow's maiden century
|
 Jonny Bairstow registered his maiden ODI century © Getty Images England made a mockery of a modest chase versus West Indies in the first ODI at Old Trafford, Manchester. Riding on Jonny Bairstow's maiden ton, England chased down 205 for the loss of 3 wickets in 30.5 overs. In a 42-overs contest, West Indies' batting order didn't click and was followed by an ordinary bowling performance. With the loss, West Indies are certain to play the qualifying round to cement a place in ICC World Cup 2019. Ranked No. 9, they had to win the ongoing series by a 5-0 or 4-0 margin. In pursuit of 205, England started well courtesy new opening pair of Alex Hales and Bairstow. Hales looked in ominous touch and was reading the length of the ball well. However, he fell for 19. Joe Root, at No. 3, continued in his usual manner. Bairstow and Root rotated the strike, put the bad ball to the fence and kept the scoreboard moving. If West Indies batters weren't able to keep a check on the scoring, their bowlers failed to curb the ...

| Cricket: Holder gives Windies hope in delayed England ODI
|
 West Indies captain Jason Holder led from the front with 41 not out in his side's 204 for nine against England in the first one-day international at Old Trafford today. Holder's men have to win this five-match series 5-0 or 4 -0 with a tie or no-result if they are to qualify directly for the 2019 World Cup in England. The no-result part of that equation started to look a possibility when, despite bright sunshine, a wet outfield saw the umpires delay the scheduled start by two hours even though the sun was shining. In a match reduced to 42 overs per side, West Indies slumped to 160 for seven and were in danger of being dismissed for a lower score than the 176 the World Twenty20 champions managed in their T20 victory against England in Durham on Saturday. But Holder, who won the toss, at least gave his bowlers some sort of a target to defend in a 33-ball innings featuring five fours. Rival all-rounder Ben Stokes led England's attack with three for 43 but his nine overs also ...
