West Indies thrashes England by 9 wickets in T20 series opener

England followed up its heavy Ashes defeat with a nine-wicket loss to West Indies in their Twenty20 series opener on Saturday. England was all out for 103 in 19.4 overs after recovering from 39-6 at the halfway stage before West Indies reached 104-1 with nine wickets and 17 balls to spare. After being asked to bat first on a tricky pitch with inconsistent bounce, England lurched to 10-3 and 49-7 as its Ashes batting woes transferred to the Caribbean at the outset of this five-match series. Lower-order batters Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid spared England's blushes to some extent but West Indies was rarely troubled in its pursuit. Jordan top-scored for England with 28 from 23 balls and was one of only four batters to make double figures in a much-changed lineup for the tourists, without the likes of Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes after their Ashes exertions. West Indies opener Brandon King's unbeaten 52 from 49 deliveries broke the back of the chase. Nicholas Pooran was 27 not out as t

2 Ashes tests, 2 losses: Not much is going right for England

After lopsided losses in the first two Ashes tests, England captain Joe Root says he's frustrated by three components of his team's performance. Unfortunately for Root, they're the three main ones in the game batting, bowling and fielding. You have to be able to put the ball in the right areas for long enough, Root said after England's 275-run loss to Australia in Adelaide on Monday. You have to be able to score big runs, and if there's chances, you have to take them. The Adelaide loss followed a nine-wicket defeat in the opening match in Brisbane. There, England only scored 147 in its first innings and Australia notched 425, leaving the visitors 278 runs in arrears going into their second innings. The frustration within our dressing room is that we have missed out or we're not quite executing those basic things well enough for the second game in a row, Root said. And we need to respond very quickly. The next match begins Sunday, the traditional Boxing Day test at the Melbourne
