The Harry Brook era got off to the perfect start as England romped to a massive 238-run hammering of West Indies in his first game as permanent ODI captain at Edgbaston.
Jacob Bethell top-scored with a fine - and fiery - 82 off 53 balls, while Brook himself chipped in with 58 off 45 as England, made to bat first by the visitors, posted 400 in a one-day international for the first time in three years.
In reply, West Indies meekly subsided to 162 all out in just 26.2 overs, Brook adding to his dream debut as skipper by joining Jonty Rhodes as the only outfield players to take five catches in an ODI, with Brydon Carse claiming his own stunner on the boundary as England took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
