1st ODI, England tour of Windies 2019. Watch ENG v WI cricket highlights - First one day international from Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados (WI).

Eng, driven by Jason Roy and Joe Root hundreds of years, indicated why they are World Cup top choices, gatecrashing Chris Gayle's retirement gathering and posting their most astounding fruitful ODI pursue to win the arrangement opener against WI in Barbados.

Self-declared "Universe Boss" Gayle bossed the Eng bowlers around once he hit his walk, crushing 12 sixes as he drove Windies to their most elevated score against Eng. Be that as it may, on a fortunate batting pitch and against a line-up as solid as Eng's, 361 still seemed to be a feasible focus for the world's No. 1 side.

Thus it demonstrated, with Roy's attractive 123 off 85 balls set the visitors up - they had 205 keeps running on the load up when he turned into their second wicket to fall - while Root (102 off 97) and some poor Windies handling wrapped up to hand Eng a 1-0 lead in the five-coordinate arrangement.

JJ Roy and JE Root were dropped twice each and made the restriction pay, much as CH Gayle did after JJ Roy grassed a sitter right off the bat in his innings.

Gayle set aside a long opportunity to settle in the official beginning of his ODI swansong, having pronounced that he would resign from one-day cricket after the World Cup, beginning in May.

After 14 overs, CH Gayle had only 12 keeps running off 36 balls; by end of the 35th, he had confronted 100 conveyances for his century. His affinity for clearing the limit, when it at last left covering up, took him to 135 away 129 balls yet, in addition, got on with his partners, who included 11 of their own for a world record 23 sixes in Windies' aggregate of 360 for 8.

After the 10-over Powerplay, be that as it may, Roy and Jonny Bairstow had controlled Eng to 88 for 0, well in front of Windies' 49 for 1 at a similar stage. Bairstow's expulsion, top-edging Holder to wicketkeeper S Hope after he had scored 34 off 33 balls, scarcely enrolled as a blip.

JE Root, who like JJ Roy had scored a century in Sunday's warm-up match against Windies University Vice-Chancellor's XI, opened it and the batsmen kept on keeping the scoreboard ticking over.

Root raised 5000 ODI runs - turning into the fourth Englishman to do as such - when he pulled a 149kph Oshane Thomas conveyance for four.

Roy raised his ton with a crunching six straight down the ground off Ashley Nurse. He hit another six in the equivalent over and was dropped in the following by debutant Nicholas off  Bishoo before enduring a puzzling possibility in a significant section of the play. He was in the end out edging Bishoo to a jumping Darren Bravo at short third man.

Eoin Morgan contributed 65 keeps running off 51 conveyances before spooning Thomas to Holder at mid-off and, with Root and Stokes at the wrinkle, Eng required 36 keeps running off 36 balls.

Root raised his ton with a four off Holder yet he was out two balls later, got at profound square leg off a full hurl with the scores level. Requiring one keep running off nine balls, Buttler hit a four and Eng enlisted the third-most noteworthy fruitful pursue in ODI history.

Back in Windies' side out of the blue since their home ODI arrangement against Bangladesh last July, Gayle raised his 24th ODI hundred with a solitary off Chris Woakes and wrenched up the occasion, dropping to his knees, arms outstretched before holding his baton high by the toe with his protective cap roosted over the handle.

Gayle at first took a secondary lounge to debutant John Campbell, who incorporated a convenient appearance of 30 off 28, and he ought to have been rejected on 9 when a miscue off Liam Plunkett cruised to point, where Roy dropped a dolly of a catch. Gayle at long last looked like hitting his walk soon after getting his additional opportunity, crushing M Ali down the ground for six, his 477th in worldwide cricket to pass Afridi at the highest priority on the rundown.

Expectation - who had just surpassed Gayle in the wake of coming in at No. 3 - hit a tremendous straight six off Moeen which arrived on the top of the media focus, somewhere in the range of five stories high. The expectation was the first to 50, achieving the separate 48 balls, the quickest of his eight ODI half-hundreds of years.

On the extremely next ball, Gayle - who had gotten his strike rate fundamentally - moved to 49 with a transcending 111-meter six off Moeen. He raised his 50 years with a four off Ben Stokes and continued to release nine progressively sixes, incorporating two in back to back balls off both Mark Wood and Plunkett.

Expectation's noteworthy 64 off 65 finished when he top-edged a ball from Ben Stokes - who completed as the pick of the Eng bowlers - to Rashid at third man. The expectation had put on a 131-run organization with Gayle off the same number of balls. Gayle was at long last rejected when he hauled a Stokes conveyance on to his stumps yet he looked remarkably fulfilled as he strolled off the field to deafening adulation. The player had returned.
