England's Harry Brook blames cautious run chase for West Indies loss

The West Indies had a shaky start at 8/2, but ultimately, the red-hot Sherfane Rutherford pounded seven sixes in his 76 - to go with cameos from Roston Chase and Jason Holder - to propel them to a great total.

Brook admitted the dew didn't play as much of a factor as he initially thought it would. This was evident in mystery spinner Gudakesh Motie's 3/33, where he dismissed Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton and crucially, Brook.

"We were probably a little bit careful, myself included," said Brook, who pushed tentatively only to be caught and bowled by Motie.

"I'd much rather be caught on the boundary rather than the way I did today. That's part of T20 cricket.

"He was probably the main threat at the time so, personally, I was trying to knock it into the leg side and get Sam (Curran) back on strike.

"Chasing nearly 200 is always a big ask and we thought the pitch would get better and it would slide onto the bat a little more, and that didn't happen. We thought it was chaseable, definitely. We obviously planned for dew (opting to bat second) and it didn't quite get as dewy as we thought.

"With the power that we have at the back end, myself included, I thought I could have taken a risk a little bit earlier knowing we still had Jacksy (Will Jacks), and Jamie Overton to come in. With that power and that depth that we have, we do think we can chase almost anything. Obviously, today we didn't."

England face Scotland at Eden Gardens on Saturday, before finishing the group stage against Italy on Tuesday at the same venue.
