West Indies vs England: England are bowling first in the second ODI of the three-match series against West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Saturday (November 2). While they lost the series opener, the Three Lions are on top early in the second match with the help of John Turner's early wickets. The young right-arm speedster got rid of Brandon King and Evin Lewis in quick succession to help the tourists take early control in the 50-overs fixture.
While Turner got rid of King to get his maiden international wicket with a ball that tempted the batter to go for the drive, got the edge and was caught at backward point, he then got his second wicket soon after, getting rid of Evin Lewis. For the second wicket, Turner went wide of the crease and dugged in a short-pitch ball which Lewis only managed to tickle down the leg through to the keeper.
