REUTERS: West Indies cruised to a five-wicket win over England in the second Twenty20 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Tuesday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

The hosts overhauled England’s total of 152 for seven with five wickets and seven balls to spare. Jos Buttler provided the backbone of the England innings, blasting 67 off 43 balls highlighted by five fours and three sixes. He was well supported by opener Alex Hales, who hit 40 off 36 deliveries, but only one other batsman made double figures. Left-arm seamer Krishmar Santokie was the pick of the West Indian bowlers, capturing four for 21 from his four overs to win the man of the match award, while Dwayne Bravo chipped in with two vital scalps.
