A hard-hitting 95-run partnership between Eoin Morgan (55) and Luke Wright (45 not out) boosted England to an impressive 191 for five against West Indies in their Twenty20 World Cup match on Monday.
England got off to a flying start, their South African born opening batsmen Michael Lumb and Craig Kieswetter bringing up 50 off just 31 balls.
Medium-pacer Darren Sammy managed to slow England down picking up the wickets of Kevin Pietersen and skipper Paul Collingwood but then Morgan and Wright made hay in the latter overs.
West Indies have skipper Chris Gayle back from injury and now badly need him to produce one of his big scores to have a fighting chance.
