England thrash the West Indies in second T20 international at Basseterre


England skittled the West Indies for just 45 to claim their heaviest Twenty20 victory in a contest settled by a devastating four-wicket blast by Chris Jordan.

Having posted 182 for six, with Sam Billings doing the heavy lifting with a career-best 87 from 47 balls, the tourists wiped their opponents out in less than 12 overs to seal a 137-run win and take the three-match series 2-0.

The Windies total was the lowest ever made by a full member nation and just six more than the record low set by Holland in 2014. It was also England's biggest winning margin, comfortably clearing their 116-run rout of Afghanistan.

Jordan was the headline act, taking four for six in two masterful overs of white-ball bowling that are sure to reignite his case for a World Cup berth this summer, with David Willey, Adil Rashid and Liam Plunkett chiming in with two apiece.
