England can press ahead to the Champions Trophy with confidence enhanced after their 3-0 whitewash of the West Indies in the Caribbean. Captain Eoin Morgan reflected not just on a highly-favourable scoreline after his team’s 186-run trouncing of the hosts in the third one-day international, but on progress made by individuals and a growing sense of unity in the squad.

Hales returned after missing England’s last six white-ball matches with a broken hand to figure in a second-wicket stand of 192 with his fellow centurion Joe Root as the tourists piled up 328 all out after losing the toss on an occasionally awkward surface.

It’s more that all of the components of the most recent European Civic Type R have been polished and incorporated into a more fully realized package.
