The England Lions produced their most impressive performance of the ongoing tour of the West Indies, launching a brutal assault on the Windies A bowling attack to pile up a mammoth 487 for 5 in 50 overs in the second one-day encounter between the teams on Monday.
Leading the charge was Ben McKinney, who smashed a magnificent 145, featuring 15 fours and 10 sixes. James Rew added further misery to the Windies A bowlers with an unbeaten 107, while Dan Lawrence chipped in with a solid 76.
Lawes and Blades claimed two wickets apiece for the Windies A.
In reply, Windies A made a promising start despite losing an early wicket, as captain Carty, who scored 75, and Kirk McKenzie, with 67, mounted a spirited challenge.
However, the dismissal of both batsmen triggered a dramatic collapse, with the Windies A innings crumbling to just 211 runs.
Eddie Jack was the chief destroyer, claiming an outstanding 5 for 42, while Mason Crane supported him superbly with 3 for 26.
The England Lions eventually cruised to a commanding 276-run victory, further underlining their dominance in the series.
