#3 Alzarri Joseph's mixed day
The young Alzarri Joseph had made a name for himself in the Caribbean Premier League when he hit Ab de Villiers on the helmet. But somehow his opportunities for West Indies were far and few between. An injury to Shannon Gabriel opened a place for him and the tall pacer bowled his heart out, combining pace with consistent lines to finish with figures of 4/76.
The Antigua seamer hit the right channels right from the start and was unlucky to not have Root early on. He had already dismissed the dangerous Jason Roy who drove him to mid-off. He then put an end to the 192-run stand between Hales and Root by outfoxing the former with a slower delivery.
Joseph gave the Windies a glimmer of hope next over when he had the other set batsman, Joe Root, with a cross-seamed delivery that he hit straight to long-on. The 20-year-old wasn't done, though, and two balls later, had Moeen Ali chipping a catch back to him as he completed his four-wicket haul.
