The match report has landed courtesy of Cameron Ponsonby which is my cue to go and party with Rihanna. Oh, sorry, I meant go to bed. Not with Rihanna. Oh forget it. Thanks for joining us, we’ll be back same time same place for match number two tomorrow. Goodnight.
On Thursday, Phil Salt turned down an invitation to party with Rihanna in favour of an early night. On Saturday, he blitzed England to an eight-wicket win against the West Indies.”
Phil Salt loves batting in the Caribbean and bags the Player of the Match award:
I think it’s probably the place I’m happiest - I enjoy batting here, I’ve grown up batting on these surfaces.”
He then describes this ton as his favourite of the three he’s notched up in England’s T20 colours.
On Jacob Bethell:
He’s a huge talent! Some of the shots he played there... he’s a 21-year-old lad but if you didn’t know how old he was you’d think he’d played 100 games.
Just a brilliant career summary tbf. pic.twitter.com/WsSVAhxNi0

Phil Salt has now hit three T20I hundreds. Only three men, across all countries, have more.
