Stuart Broad praises England bowlers

Stuart Broad hails his England bowlers for their performance during their three-wicket victory over the West Indies.

England captain Stuart Broad has praised his bowlers for their performance during their victory over the West Indies in the second one-day international on Sunday.

The tourists registered a three-wicket win at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua after bowling out their hosts for 159 runs, with Ravi Bopara scoring 38.

"The guys learned from the other day and to bowl the West Indies out for under 160 was great," BBC Sport quotes him as saying. "We had a nice start, then a little wobble, but we got over the line in.

"The spinners picked up a lot of wickets and looked hard to score off, which creates pressure. We're on a new wicket on Wednesday and we'll have to adjust to that.

"It showed why Ravi's batting at seven, we know he's a strong finisher and it was great to see him take that responsibility on. We just took it five runs at a time - if you're chasing 60 you think it's a lot, if you're chasing five it's easier to chase it down."

The three-match ODI series is now tied at 1-1, with the deciding game to take place in Antigua on Wednesday.
