That is the end of our live coverage of this whirlwind series opener between West Indies and England. The latter dominated the show to take an early 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Don't go anywhere. The second T20I is coming your way in less than 24 hours.
For now, this is me, AkshayaKrishna Polya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Ajay Pal Singh and scorer/analyst Raju Khariya, who brought you all the live action of this banger. We will meet again. Until then, it's cheers!
