Nurse took three wickets on a slow Antigua wicket

Jason Holder brought on his spinners, Ashley Nurse and Devendra Bishoo in the 10th over, and the duo sizzled on a slow wicket, bamboozling the England batsmen with turn and flight.

From overs 21 to 25, England lost four wickets to the spinners. Roy was already dismissed by Nurse in the 15th over after he had stroked a half-century. Nurse then had Morgan plumb in front of the wicket with a drifted delivery that did not spin and rapped him on the pads.

Bishoo, meanwhile, dismissed the dangerous duo of Stokes and Buttler as England looked all at sea against the spinners. Nurse picked up another wicket by cleaning up Moeen Ali's stumps in the 25th over. Nurse and Bishoo bowled out their 10 overs in one stretch from overs 10-29.
