Evin Lewis puts on a clinic, leading West Indies to a formidable total of 357 against England

At The Oval on Sunday, West Indies hammered 356/5 in the fourth ODI, powered by Evin Lewis's explosive 176. Lewis was cruising toward a double century until a delivery from Jack Ball struck his foot in the 47th over, forcing him to leave the field. His innings of 130 balls included 17 fours and seven sixes. This career-best performance also makes Lewis the highest-scoring batsman in international cricket history to retire hurt, surpassing a record held by Charles Bannerman since 1877, who scored 165 in a Test match before retiring hurt. The match started poorly for the West Indies after they lost the toss and were sent in to bat, collapsing to 33 runs with the loss of Chris Gayle (2), Evin Hope (11), and Marlon Samuels (1). However, Jason Mohammed (46) and skipper Jason Holder (77) stabilized the innings, with Rovman Powell finishing on 28 not out. Lewis shared a crucial 117-run stand for the fourth wicket with Mohammed and later added 168 with Holder for the fifth. Holder's aggressive 62-ball knock featured four fours and six sixes. For England, Chris Woakes was the standout bowler, claiming 3 wickets for 71 runs.Oval: West Indies made a huge total of 356 runs for five wickets against England in the fourth one-day international at The Oval on Sunday, with the storm of 176 runs by opener Evin Lewis.
