Phil Salt's Century, Harry Brook’s Cameo Leads England To Thrilling Seven-wicket Win Over West Indies
Opener Phil Salt: Opener Phil Salt smashed a maiden unbeaten T20I century, while a late cameo from young Harry Brook helped England remain alive in the five-match T20I series against the West Indies with a 2-1 scoreline after securing a thrilling seven-wicket win at the National Stadium.
Set an improbable 223 to win by the West Indies after Nicholas Pooran made a career-best score of 82 off 45 balls, Salt smashed 109 not out off just 56 balls, reaching his hundred in 51 deliveries, which he got to with consecutive sixes off Jason Holder.
He put on 115 runs for the first wicket in just 11.2 overs with captain Jos Buttler, who made 51 off 34 balls. Despite losing Buttler and Will Jacks in quick succession, Salt was helped by Liam Livingstone (30 off 18 balls), as the duo added 70 runs from 34 balls for the third wicket.
