Wed Nov 06 21:41:32 UTC 2024: ## England Struggles to 233/7 in West Indies ODI
**Bridgetown, Barbados:** England found themselves in a precarious position at the end of their innings in the third ODI against the West Indies, reaching 233/7 after 48 overs. Despite a half-century from Dan Mooresley (57 off 69 balls), England’s batting order faltered against a disciplined West Indies bowling attack.
Mooresley was the highlight of the innings, smashing 5 fours and a six to reach his half-century, but he was unfortunately the last recognized batsman to provide any significant resistance. He fell to Alzarri Joseph in the 46th over, leaving England at 207/6.
The middle order crumbled around Mooresley, with Phil Salt being dismissed for just 10 runs in the 40th over, caught by Joseph off Matthew Ford’s bowling. England’s hopes of a big score were further dented when Harry Brook fell for just 2 runs in the 37th over, leaving the score at 159/5.
England’s late rally was spearheaded by Jamie Overton, who was unbeaten on 28 runs off 18 balls at the end of the innings. He hit 3 fours and a six, but it was too little too late for England, who will now look to their bowlers to turn the tables in the final stages of the game.
The West Indies bowlers were particularly impressive, with Alzarri Joseph (2/45) and Matthew Ford (2/30) leading the charge. The pair consistently bowled tight lines and lengths, making life difficult for the England batsmen.
With England struggling to get their innings going, the West Indies will be confident of defending their target and securing victory in the third ODI.
