A fiery spell on comeback from all-rounder Liam Dawson and a blistering 96 from Jos Buttler helped England seal a 21-run win over West Indies in the first T20I at Chester-le-Street on Friday night.
With this win, England has taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
England won the toss and opted to bat first. Ben Duckett perished to Romario Shepherd for just one in four balls after an expensive start, over which saw Jamie Smith crunch Jason Holder for three fours and gather 16 runs.
