"Go out there and entertain me" were Sulieman Benn's words to Chris Gayle on 16 March, 2016. And someone needed to go hammer and tongs against England for it was a stiff 183 run target at the Wankhede Stadium.
Gayle's drinking partner was done with his job: three overs bowled, a wicket of Alex Hales and 23 runs conceded. A team effort with the bat spearheaded by Joe Root's 48 had put England in driving seat at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Two-time champions but currently out of sorts, the West Indies will hope to raise their game by a few notches when they open their campaign against favourites England in a Super 12 match of the ICC men's T20 World Cup here on Saturday.
A team packed with some of the most destructive T20 players, the West Indies cut a sorry figure in the two warm-up games against Pakistan and Afghanistan and would need to quickly shrug off the disappointment ahead of the tournament proper.
It was poor batting which cost them both the practice matches. While against Pakistan, the Caribbean team failed to put up a fighting total, scoring a modest 130 for 7, Kieron Pollard's men managed 133-5 in their chase of 189 against Afghanistan.

England vs West Indies, T20 World Cup, Latest Updates: Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the second Super 12 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 between England and defending champions West Indies, taking place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Carlos Brathwaite broke England hearts when the two teams faced off in the 2016 T20 World Cup final in Kolkata, eventually guiding the Windies to their second T20 World Cup title, but this time it's a different story at a different edition of the tournament. Stay tuned as we build up towards the game.
Preview: The Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2021 begins on Saturday, 23 October, and ODI world champions and 2010 T20 world champions England begin their campaign by facing West Indies in the evening game in Dubai.
The Super 12s will feature eight top teams that have automatically qualified along with four teams from the preliminary round that ended on Friday. Australia take on South Africa in the opening game in the afternoon, with the meeting between the two sides that last faced each other in a T20 World Cup match in an epic final five years ago, next.
Defending champions West Indies, who managed to chase down the 156-run target in the 2016 World T20 final thanks to a flurry of sixes off Carlos Brathwaite's bat, will hope to get off to a strong start as they set their sights on an unprecedented third T20 world title.
England, on the other hand, will look to shrug off the disappointment of missing out on the services of key names like Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes and will hope others, including the out-of-form captain Eoin Morgan himself, can step up and deliver for the side in their absence.
