‌ENG vs WI | Twitter and Sammy awed by Pooran’s gargantuan six embarrassing Mark Wood’s rocket 

Winning the toss and electing to field first in West Indies’ most high-scoring venue so far in the competition, Jos Buttler’s men were pushed on the back foot by the West Indies top-order. Brandon King and Johnson Charles helped the hosts pile up 54 runs inside the powerplay before Nicholas Pooran replaced King due to a groin injury and took down England’s speedster Mark Wood. 

Arriving on the back of a 98 against Afghanistan in St Lucia, the wicketkeeper-batter looked determined to push his side on a dominating front against England as Johnson Charles fist-pumped him before the former faced a delivery. As Wood returned to bowl his second over after the powerplay, Pooran slammed a cross-batted stroke on a fuller delivery near the legs to help the ball swirl into the stands. The ball was pitched in the slot for an in-form batter like Pooran and the southpaw did not hesitate to embarrass a 147 kph delivery by smashing a 95-meter six. Seeing the audacious nature of the swashbuckler, West Indies head coach and two-time World Cup winning captain, Daren Sammy was seen awed at the dugout, sending similar vibes across the Twitterverse.
