Alex Hales sets new record for England

Team GM’s Alex Hales fell one run short of England's first Twenty20 international hundred but his 99, in a record 159-run partnership with Ravi Bopara, powered the home side to a convincing seven-wicket victory against West Indies at Trent Bridge yesterday.

Hales’ match-winning innings, on his home ground, overtook Eoin Morgan's unbeaten 85 against South Africa at Johannesburg as England's best in this format and secured his place for the World Twenty20 title defence in Sri Lanka later this year.
Congratulations from everyone at Gunn & Moore.
