 The West Indian innings started off badly by losing Gayle early, however they turned their fortunes around with some attacking and aggresive cricket and posted a huge total of 208. A bigger total could have been posted if it had not been for a late innings batting collapse. England started their reply by getting off to a flyer, but lost some early wickets that slowed down the run-rate. Leading the charge was Paul Collingwood with a fast 79 with 5 4's and 4 6's. In the end, England fell short by 15 runs. Had they not have lost the early wickets, England would have probably won the match  take a 1-0 lead in the series. Instead, it is West Indies that have taken a 1-0 lead in the series.
