West Indies vs England, 2nd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So, that's a wrap then. Join us again for the third and final ODI of the series that is scheduled for Thursday. Before that, there's plenty of cricketing action with the ongoing India-Australia Test, the upcoming Sri Lanka-Bangladesh series, the T20I between Afghanistan and Ireland and also the New Zealand-South Africa Test.

Post-match quotes:

Morgan - captain, England: "On a used wicket, building on what we did on Friday was going to be tough. Jason played nicely and got us off to a great start. We lost wickets at the top which is a concern. For us, we want to keep this momentum. Spending that extra bit of time getting in is important on these type of wickets. He's (Woakes) fantastic. He's a luxury to have down the order. We want to win all three games."

Root - Man of the Match: "We were off to a very good start. When the spinners came, we allowed ourselves to score slowly and still stay ahead. Stay calm (we told ourselves when those wickets fell). I told Woakes to take some time and build a partnership. He played exceptionally well."

Holder - captain, West Indies: "Disappointed. I thought we fought well. We dropped chances again, so we need to improve on that. In batting, we need to get partnerships upfront. Some soft dismissals. The pitch here has always been a slow pitch, so we knew it will spin. Hopefully we can get Gabriel fit going forward."

England seal series with 4-wicket win:

Woakes hits a six off Holder to level scores and bring up the century stand. Root hits the winning single, off Kraigg Brathwaite, to help England take an unassailable 2-0 lead with a four-wicket win with 1.4 overs to spare.

West Indies did look favourites at one stage when England lost 4 wickets for only 16. However, Holder erred in bowling out his spinners Bishoo and Nurse - the two responsible for the mid-innings collapse - as early as the 29th over, and then lost Gabriel to a side strain. Only three overs from his premier fast bowler didn't help, neither did the dropped catches - some tough, some not so much. Woakes and Root piled on an unbeaten 102 run stand for the seventh wicket helped England to a series win with a match to go.

England close in on series win:

England need 14 more and Root needs the same number of runs for his century. Can he get there?

Woakes registers crucial fifty:

With a couple of Kraigg Brathwaite in the 43rd over, Woakes brings up his second ODI fifty. Cannot have come at a better time.

Woakes, Root take England closer

Woakes enters the 40s and the partnership has crossed 60. He has done the bulk of the scoring in this crucial seventh wicket stand. And West Indies have also missed a chance. Rovman Powell, on for Gabriel, has put down Woakes at long-on. England are now 189 for 6, needing 37 more off 60.

Root keeps England afloat:

Root is proving to be key for England in this chase. With good support from Chris Woakes, he is taking the visitors closer. England are 168 for 6 after 37. They need 58 more. Can West Indies break this partnership soon?

Update: Shannon Gabriel is off the field and is seen in his training gear. Reportedly, he's unwell and won't take further part in this game.

Nurse picks up another:

England are now reeling at 124 for 6 at the halfway stage. Remarkable comeback from West Indies, thanks to their spinners. Nurse picks up his third wicket as Moeen Ali is out bowled.

Stokes and Buttler fall after Root fifty:

While Root took a single off Bishoo to bring up a well-compiled half-century in the 22nd over, England suffered another setback as Stokes fell in the same over, caught behind. The legspinner then struck in his next over, to dismiss Jos Buttler for a duck. Impressive fightback from West Indies. The visitors are 117 for 5.

Another for Nurse:

Nurse bagged his second wicket when he dismissed Eoin Morgan for 7 in the 21st over. The England captain played down the wrong line was was given out leg-before. He decided to use the review, but the umpire's call stood. England are 108 for 3, with Ben Stokes joining Root at the crease.

Roy falls after fifty:

Ninth ODI fifty for Roy, gets there with a couple off Nurse in the 15th over. But he falls soon after, finding Carlos Brathwaite at deep mid-wicket while attempting a slog sweep. England 87 for 2.

Root joins in:

Two back-to-back fours for Joe Root off Carlos Brathwaite in the ninth over. Roy continues to tee off at the other end, reverse-sweeps Bishoo for a four. England move to 69 for 1 after 10.

Positive partnership:

Fifty partnership is up, off 45 deliveries, after Roy hits two successive fours off Holder in the 8th over. Roy is now on 34 off 26 with 26 of those runs coming in boundaries. Root is happy to play second fiddle - 16* off 21 with one four.

Roy gets going:

After the eventful start, Jason Roy gets going with a flurry of boundaries. He has hit three fours so far and a glorious straight six, off Holder, while Root has scored 1 as England move to 31 for 1 after 6 overs.
