Records tumble as England cruise

Ravi Bopara recorded England's best bowling figures in Twenty20 cricket before Alex Hales and Craig Kieswetter shared their side's highest partnership in the format in a crushing 10-wicket win over the West Indies.

Both teams were under-strength, with two young sides and three debutants apiece, but the tourists were dismissed with almost embarrassing ease by a ruthless England side led for the first time by Graeme Swann.

An early assault by Dwayne Smith and Johnson Charles aside, the West Indies fell woefully short with the bat, scraping together 125 all out as Bopara returned four for 10.

That took him past England's previous best figures - four for 22, shared by Jade Dernbach and Paul Collingwood

Spin provided England with some much-needed control on a slow pitch as Swann and Samit Patel claimed one and two wickets apiece but there was more record-breaking left in the evening.

Hales and Kieswetter knocked off their target in short order, with 62no and 58no respectively, cruising past the 112-run stand shared by Eoin Morgan and Kevin Pietersen against Pakistan last year as England finished on 128 without loss.

Kieswetter lashed Smith to the cover boundary to end things in style to help England to their first 10-wicket success in the shortest form of the game.
