West Indies v England: second men’s one-day cricket international – live | England v West Indies 2024




Key events

1st over: West Indies 1-0 (King 1, Lewis 0) Jofra Archer has the new ball, little white beads threaded through the bottom of his braids, a sleeve on his right arm, red soles on his boots. One of his trouser legs looks as if its has been chewed off at the bottom by a hungry dog. Just a single from the over.

A steaming plate of cheese on toast enters the room alongside my son, sadly none for me. Cook thinks we could see 15 overs of “heavy seam” from England to start.

Pitch watch: Carlos Brathwaite gets intimate with the batting surface – “What is a good length? Six to eight metres from the popping crease. What Jaydon Seales did really well is get from being defensive at eight metres to being attacking a six metres.”

Jason Holder and Alastair Cook both agree that West Indies need to get through this initial burst from England.

Preamble

Hello and welcome to match two of this white-ball series, sliced into the schedules like a piece of processed cheese. An eight wicket defeat wasn’t how England would have chosen to start their three ODI and five T20 Caribbean adventure but on they plug, at least Jordan Clark, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton and John Turner now have an ODI under their belts.

West Indies outgunned England in almost every area after Shai Hope won the toss, with the returning Evin Lewis a hurricane force success with the bat, and West Indies knocking off a revised target with 55 ball remaining.

Today we return to the Sir Vivian Richards stadium, North Sound, Antigua – with an early 9.30am start Antiguan time (1.30pm GMT).
