Match report

And here’s Ali Martin’s report.

A thumping win for England to get Harry Brook’s reign off to a perfect start.

More triumphs like this and the comparisons with Eoin Morgan’s team will really gather pace.

Long way to go til then.

Ciao all. Have a lovely evening (at the Cabaret, no doubt)

While we wait for the report to land from Birmingham, let’s have a word from Stuart Broad on Sky Sports:

It was a good bowling performance, I do not think it was anything magical or special.

The batsmen won this game with 400 runs on the board, then the plans became quite simple.

From a West Indies point of view, anytime your number 11 is top scorer, you know you have had a bad day.
