West Indies captain Darren Sammy has said that he is pleased with his side's performance against England in the first Twenty20 international on Sunday.
The hosts made 170-3 in their innings in Barbados, to which the tourists replied with 143-9.
"That's what we asked for," BBC Sport quotes the 30-year-old as saying.
"We played a good game in front of a full house, the start Chris [Gayle] and [Dwayne] Smith gave allowed Marlon to play a big innings as we know how destructive Chris can be."
The second T20 will be played in Barbados on Tuesday.
