WICKET! England 63-2 (Salt 44, Bethell 0) Target: 329 Overs: 12

Jordan Cox, caught Hope bowled Joseph, 4 (19)

A breakthrough for West Indies and Cox’s struggles come to an end in odd fashion. A well-directed bumper from Joseph comes back in at the batter and Cox half pulls out of the shot but still top-edges a hook that loops to the keeper.

The England man leaves the field shaking his head after a frustrating time out there, but it did take an excellent delivery to dismiss him.

The talented Jacob Bethell is the new batter, in at number four – batting a couple of spots higher than he did in the series against Australia in September.

England 62-1 (Salt 43, Cox 4) Target: 329 Overs: 11

Cox is starting to get quite frustrated, not really having found any fluency yet out there. Salt has a quick word during Seales’ latest over, reminding him that there’s plenty of time.

England 58-1 (Salt 42, Cox 2) Target: 329 Overs: 10

A very tidy over from the talented Joseph yields just two runs. That concludes the powerplay.

England 56-1 (Salt 41, Cox 2) Target: 329 Overs: 9

That’s seven boundaries already for Salt as he lays into Seales again.

England are almost up with the required run rate, making a fast start in this powerplay.

England 50-1 (Salt 36, Cox 1) Target: 329 Overs: 8

It’s a first over for Shamar Joseph in ODI cricket, and he starts brightly, testing Cox.

The England man gets off the mark with a single from his 11th delivery, and Salt brings up England’s 50 with a perfectly-timed straight drive, holding the pose as the ball races away to the rope.

England 44-1 (Salt 31, Cox 0) Target: 329 Overs: 7

Salt continues his fast start, picking out the point boundary for four more off the bowling of Forde.

England 38-1 (Salt 26, Cox 0) Target: 329 Overs: 6

England rate Jordan Cox very highly in all formats, and he will be keeping wicket if all goes to plan in the Test series against New Zealand later this month.

But places in this ODI team are at a premium so a significant contribution early in his career in the format would be very helpful.

He takes it steady at the start of his innings, playing out a Seales over.

WICKET! England 37-1 (Salt 25, Cox 0) Target: 329 Overs: 5

Will Jacks, caught Lewis bowled Forde, 12 (11)

This opening pair for England have reasonable records in ODIs, both averaging in the 30s and scoring at well over a run-a-ball in the format in their careers so far.

Neither have consistently racked up huge scores, and while England would want that from both of them, they’re also in the team to set the tone early and set up doing just that.

Each of Salt and Jacks both find the boundary as they lay into the gentle pace of Forde.

But one hit too many does for Jacks, who slices one into the deep on the leg side where he’s caught on the fence.

In many ways this series is a battle between these two batters for a long-term place in the England ODI team, and Jacks’ reaction as he walks off suggests he knows that could be a significant failure in his career.

England 25-0 (Salt 20, Jacks 5) Target: 329 Overs: 4

That is pure class from Salt, who drives on the up and splits the ring, running the ball away to the cover boundary. Beautiful.

Six runs come from the Seales over.

England 19-0 (Salt 14, Jacks 5) Target: 329 Overs: 3

Better from Forde, and two singles come from his second over as the innings settles down a little.

England will know that keeping wickets in hand is vital, and 50 overs is a long time. In many ways this is an uncomplicated scenario for England’s inexperienced batting line-up – just go out there and play the natural way, ignore the scoreboard for a while.

England 17-0 (Salt 13, Jacks 4) Target: 329 Overs: 2

Jayden Seales takes the new ball from the other end and struggles to find his line early on. Salt tucks him away for four through the leg side and Jacks also benefits from some wayward deliveries to get off the mark.

England 8-0 (Salt 8, Jacks 0) Target: 329 Overs: 1

Matthew Forde takes the new ball for West Indies and England get off to a decent start as Salt picks up a couple off the first ball and hits the innings’ first boundary later in the over, carving the ball away through cover for four.

WEST INDIES SET ENGLAND 329 TO WIN

So England will need a very demanding 329 if they want to keep this three-match series alive.

Shai Hope’s superb century (117 from 127 balls) helped his team rebuild along with Keacy Carty (71 from 77) after John Turner’s two early wickets.

And some superb hitting down the order from Sherfane Rutherford (54 from 36), Shimron Hetmyer (24 from 11) and Matthew Forde (23* from 11) boosted the total to 328/6.

Nine bowlers were used in all by England, with Adil Rashid (2/62 from ten overs), Turner (2/42 from six), Jofra Archer (1/40 from nine) and Liam Livingstone (1/56 from seven) taking the wickets.

There have only been five scores in excess of 300 in the history of this ground. England will need to be at their very best to make that six.

Stay tuned for the second innings, which will be live throughout on TNT Sports and discovery+.

West Indies 328-6 (Chase 20, Forde 23) Overs: 50

Mahmood bowls the final over, with Chase and Forde having complete license to swing for the hills.

And swing they do, with Forde lining up the England bowler for three consecutive maximums. The first drops over the rope straight down the ground, the second is huge over midwicket and the third is slammed over long off.

In total 19 runs come from the over to boost West Indies up to 328/6.

West Indies 309-6 (Chase 19, Forde 5) Overs: 49

Archer bowls his ninth and final over. Would England have meant to let him use his full allocation here?

A cut for four by Chase means that eight runs come from the over in total, along with four singles. Archer ends with figures of 1/40 from nine overs – comfortably the most economical of the nine bowlers used by England today.

West Indies 301-6 (Chase 13, Forde 3) Overs: 48

England’s death bowling has been good so far, limiting the late damage. This may already be a total out of their reach, being only the fifth score in excess of 300 scored at the ground, but credit to Archer and Mahmood for denying a big push.

Mahmood’s latest over yields just four runs – outstanding in the circumstances.

WICKET! West Indies 297-6 (Chase 12, Forde) Overs: 47

Shai Hope, caught Livingstone bowled Archer, 117 (127)

Archer’s back for the death overs, and he rolls out his variations, switching up his pace. It’s such an asset to have a bowler who gone do this, and move it in the powerplay, and hit 90mph+. He’s so important for England.

One of his variations goes slightly wrong out of the back of the hand, adding an extra delivery to the over, but that seventh ball accounts for the West Indies captain, as Hope miscues a slower ball to Livingstone at long off.

That wicket is very much deserved for Archer, who has bowled really nicely with little reward today.

West Indies 293-5 (Hope 116, Chase 10) Overs: 46

Another over for Mahmood as this innings moves towards its close.

Chase drives beautifully for four, and Hope – who is cramping out there – hacks away another boundary to deep third.

The centurion is going to swing at everything now, because running between the wickets is not going to be straightforward for him.

West Indies 284-5 (Hope 112, Chase 5) Overs: 45

Hope goes on the attack as Rashid bowls his final over, slamming him through long on for four and launching a six next ball over deep midwicket.

England’s spinner finishes with figures of 2/62 – with 23 of those runs coming off his last two overs.

CENTURY! West Indies 267-5 (Hope 101, Chase 3) Overs: 44

Shai Hope eases the first ball of Mahmood’s over away for a single to bring up his 17th ODI century. He’s a superb batter, particularly in this format, and has delivered a masterclass today, rebuilding for his team after two early wickets and setting them up for a big total.

Mahmood almost gets Chase with a gem of a delivery that leaves the new batter and narrowly evades the edge on its way through to Salt.

Only four singles come off the over, which is a welcome respite for England.

WICKET! West Indies 267-5 (Hope 99, Chase 1) Overs: 43

Shimron Hetmyer, caught Archer bowled Rashid, 24 (11)

Rashid to the rescue! Hetmyer slams England’s experienced spinner for six, but is undone by the google next ball as he slices a catch to Archer to end a quickfire cameo.

That could be a really big wicket for England – Hetmyer in this sort of mood could have put the game completely out of sight. West Indies are on for a big score as it is.

DROP! West Indies 257-4 (Hope 97, Hetmyer 17) Overs: 42

Hetmyer is given a life as he miscues Livingstone to long on, where Jacks drops it.

And the England captain’s mood doesn’t improve as the left-hander crunches an absolutely enormous six over the long-on boundary.

Livingstone tries to hide the ball out of the arc and sends down consecutive wides, and when he over-corrects it results in another six, this time muscled over long-off by Hetmyer.

The over costs 18 runs and West Indies are well on top here.

West Indies 239-4 (Hope 95, Hetmyer 3) Overs: 41

With ten overs of this game remaining, Hetmyer is the key wicket. He’s in this West Indies team primarily as a finisher, and England know they need to get him early, so Rashid comes back.

Four singles come off the over, with West Indies happy to wait for other opportunities.

FIFTY AND OUT! West Indies 235-4 (Hope 93, Hetmyer 1) Overs: 40

Sherfane Rutherford, caught Mousley bowled Livingstone, 54 (36)

It’s a high-action over as Rutherford hammers Livingstone for four and then clears the rope at long-off for six more to reach his half-century off just 35 deliveries.

But one more big hit doesn’t quite make it all the way, and Mousley takes the catch in the deep.

England will be relieved to see the back of Rutherford, who was causing them some serious headaches. Shimron Hetmyer is the new batter.

West Indies 223-3 (Hope 92, Rutherford 44) Overs: 39

Rutherford takes on Curran and absolutely rockets him through the off side, swiping the ball to the boundary for four more.

Eight runs come off the over in all as West Indies continue to up the ante as we head towards the last ten. They will be targeting something big here in Antigua, with batting still to come.

West Indies 215-3 (Hope 90, Rutherford 38) Overs: 38

Mousley gets another as England try out all their options, which I guess is what this tour is really about (whisper it quietly, but testing out these players is almost as important to the hierarchy as the outcome of the matches).

Hope finishes the over with another superb four to take him up to 90*. He’s a phenomenal ODI batter, is the West Indies captain. Potentially good enough for a spot in a World XI.

West Indies 206-3 (Hope 85, Rutherford 34) Overs: 37

These are two very different styles of batters out there for West Indies, and Hope shows sublime touch to cut Curran away. It deserves four, but holds up in the outfield and is well fielded in the deep.

West Indies 200-3 (Hope 81, Rutherford 33) Overs: 36

Here’s bowler number nine, as Dan Mousley gets his first go with the ball in international cricket.

He bowls right-arm offies, and has proven pretty effective with the ball in domestic T20s, playing a useful role for Birmingham Phoenix and Warwickshire.

He starts pretty well, but Rutherford frees his arms off the last bowl of the over and scythes the ball away, dropping it safe and picking up another boundary. Livingstone shakes his head as the 200 comes up for West Indies with 14 overs still to go in this first innings.

West Indies 190-3 (Hope 80, Rutherford 25) Overs: 35

Sam Curran does get a chance after drinks, the eighth bowler used by England in this innings.

He’s the sort of bowler that Rutherford will go after, but that could mean chances, it’s going to be an interesting battle.

It’s a steady start for Curran, with two singles coming off the over.

West Indies 188-3 (Hope 79, Rutherford 24) Overs: 34

Archer’s spell is indeed over, but there’s still no sign of Curran in the attack. Turner is brought back, and faces a very different sort of test, bowling with a softer ball against a dangerous big hitter.

He is pumped for six by Rutherford over fine leg, and the new man in the middle is absolutely rattling along. Hope finishes with another boundary as 14 runs come from the over.

It’s a dangerous time for England, with this innings beginning to get out of control.

West Indies 174-3 (Hope 74, Rutherford 16) Overs: 33

Livingstone brings himself back into the attack and Rutherford shows that dangerous hitting power with a big old six that flies into the crowd despite being against the wind.

Only three singles come off the remainder of the over.

West Indies 165-3 (Hope 73, Rutherford 8) Overs: 32

England decide that this is an important time to strike, with West Indies still well-placed for a big total, so give Archer another over to try and target the new batter.

He continues to bowl nicely without reward, as West Indies see it out for three singles.

Will that be the end of this Archer spell?

WICKET! West Indies 162-3 (Hope 72, Rutherford 6) Overs: 31

Keacy Carty, bowled Rashid, 71 (77)

There’s the breakthrough! Adil Rashid gets it as Carty struggles to pick the googly and is bowled through the gate. England really needed that.

The dangerous Sherfane Rutherford is the new batter and he gets up and running quickly with a beautiful four over mid-off.

DROP! West Indies 154-2 (Carty 71, Hope 70) Overs: 30

Archer draws a top edge from Carty but it just evades Turner on the rope, dropping all the way for six. That would have been an unreal catch, so it’s not really a drop.

The next ball is a drop though, definitely. Carty takes Archer on and it drops short of the rope, with Turner putting down the chance on the run. Archer is fuming.

Two further shots from Carty hang in the air but drop safe as the dangerous over goes for 11 runs. Sometimes this game isn’t fair.

West Indies 143-2 (Carty 62, Hope 69) Overs: 29

Rashid is back into the attack as England rely on their best two bowlers at this important point of the match. West Indies are happy to take singles off him.

West Indies 139-2 (Carty 60, Hope 67) Overs: 28

England also feel that this is a crucial part of the match, so they bring back Archer into the attack in search of wickets. It’s an aggressive move and probably a good one – he’s still got six overs left.

Interesting that Curran’s yet to be used. England didn’t go to him in the Powerplay, meaning he’s seen as the fourth-best option there. He could be useful at the death, but no action in the middle overs isn’t a great sign for his hopes of being a long-term part of this team.

Archer tests Carty with a couple of excellent deliveries that rise into the body, but Carty finds the boundary with a fine cut off the last ball of the over.

50! West Indies 133-2 (Carty 55, Hope 66) Overs: 27

Carty sweeps his way to an excellent half-century as this partnership continues to push West Indies towards a decent first-innings platform.

Bethell and Jacks are coming under pressure, and this feels like a really important stage of the match.

West Indies 124-2 (Carty 47, Hope 65) Overs: 26

Outstanding hitting from Hope, who sees a gap over the top down the ground and cross-bat punches Jacks for four.

West Indies are taking on these more vulnerable members of the England attack, but it could well mean an increase in chances in the field.

DROP! West Indies 117-2 (Carty 45, Hope 60) Overs: 25

It’s a nice over from Bethell and he very nearly gets the scalp of Hope, drawing the edge with a ball that climbs and gets too big on Salt for the keeper to hold on to the chance. Both England players dip their heads in disappointment – that could be a huge moment.

West Indies 114-2 (Carty 43, Hope 59) Overs: 24

Will Jacks is into the attack for the first time in this series, as England go through their bowling options. That’s seven of the nine bowlers no utilised, with only Mousley and Curran yet to be given an over.

A four off the final ball of the over sees West Indies continue to tick the score over, and it’s a century partnership between this pair.

50! West Indies 105-2 (Carty 40, Hope 53) Overs: 23

It’s time for Jacob Bethell to have a bowl. He’s a promising all-round talent is Bethell, which was no doubt a factor in his recent Test call-up for the upcoming New Zealand series.

He lit up the U19 World Cup a few years ago and has gone from strength to strength since then, and he’s certainly at home in the Caribbean – he was born and grew up in Barbados.

But Hope sees the introduction of the youngster as a chance to up the ante, and he goes to his half century with a big hit into the on side for six.

That also brings the hundred up for West Indies.

West Indies 97-2 (Carty 39, Hope 46) Overs: 22

Carty releases the pressure with a cut for four, but almost falls to Livingstone next ball as he lofts one into the outfield, with the ball dropping between two fielders.

West Indies 88-2 (Carty 31, Hope 45) Overs: 21

The game is in a bit of a hold pattern for now, with England happy to put on the squeeze and West Indies appearing pretty comfortable in waiting for better scoring opportunities later in the innings.

Three singles come off Rashid’s over, and we haven’t had a boundary for quite some time – almost seven overs.

West Indies 85-2 (Carty 30, Hope 43) Overs: 20

Three runs come off Livingstone’s over as England do succeed in slowing down the scoring rate.

This is where West Indies have struggled at times, rotating the strike and keeping things ticking over against the slower bowlers in the middle overs, especially on sluggish pitches like this one in Antigua.

West Indies 82-2 (Carty 29, Hope 41) Overs: 19

Rashid continues, going for just the two runs.

England will look to tie things up with spin through this middle overs, and there are plenty of options to do that. This pair, Livingstone and Rashid, are the two lead spinners, but there’s also Bethell, Jacks and Mousley in the team as spin options.

West Indies 80-2 (Carty 27, Hope 41) Overs: 18

Livingstone resumes after drinks and sends down a tidy over that goes for just the one run.

West Indies 79-2 (Carty 26, Hope 41) Overs: 17

It’s a change of ends for Rashid and he yields three singles on his return. That’s time for some drinks.

West Indies 76-2 (Carty 24, Hope 40) Overs: 16

Skipper Livingstone brings himself into the attack, operating as the second spinner in this side. Mark Butcher on commentary on TNT Sports 3 suggests that conditions are beginning to settle and scoring is becoming easier for the batters.

West Indies 72-2 (Carty 23, Hope 37) Overs: 15

West Indies have rebuilt well after those early wickets and the runs continue to flow, with eight coming off Mahmood’s latest over.

West Indies 64-2 (Carty 21, Hope 31) Overs: 14

Sublime from Hope as he drives Rashid all the way for six off the first ball of the over. That is a wonderful shot, and means that the pair can sit in and knock around the rest of the over with no real pressure to attack.

West Indies 54-2 (Carty 19, Hope 23) Overs: 13

Mahmood is up and running now and it’s an excellent over from him, yielding just the two singles as he probes away.

West Indies 52-2 (Carty 18, Hope 22) Overs: 12

The end of the powerplay is so often the signal for England to turn to spin, and they do so once again, with Adil Rashid getting a chance to roll his arm over straight away.

It’s nice from England, getting their four best bowlers into the match early to look to make further inroads into the West Indies batting order.

There are no shortage of options for captain Liam Livingstone, who has nine bowlers in this XI (including himself).

Five runs come off Rashid’s first over.

West Indies 47-2 (Carty 16, Hope 19) Overs: 11

Hope is a really classy player, and after those two early wickets he has an important part to play today for West Indies.

He drives wonderfully down the ground to send Mahmood away to the rope.

After a slightly wayward start, Mahmood finds his range and finishes the over nicely with four consecutive dots.

West Indies 41-2 (Carty 16, Hope 13) Overs: 10

Turner gets another over.

Hope picks up the first six of the innings, slicing a short ball up and away with no fielders out on the off side.

Eight runs come off the over in all, as the powerplay comes to an end.

West Indies 33-2 (Carty 15, Hope 6) Overs: 9

West Indies will be happy to see the back of Archer, as his spell comes to an end.

Saqib Mahmood – who is in the XI in place of Jamie Overton – gets a go while the ball is still relatively new.

He bowled pretty nicely in the T20 series against Australia back in September, but hasn’t played an ODI for 18 months.

Mahmood starts nicely, with four runs coming from the over.

West Indies 29-2 (Carty 14, Hope 3) Overs: 8

Carty gets a life as he goes after Turner and flashes a chance through the ring. It came at Bethell high and fast, and his reactions were good to even get a hand to it, but the youngster can’t hold on. It goes down as a drop, but would have been an excellent grab had he held it.

Carty targets the same area later in the over but keeps it down on this occasion and picks up four with a flashing cut.

West Indies 23-2 (Carty 8, Hope 3) Overs: 7

It’s not the fiery stuff that he’s most well known for, but this is classic Jofra Archer right now. He’s probing away with a dangerous line and length, and beats Hope with an absolute beauty, one that climbs off a length and leaves the West Indies captain just a touch.

He’s bowling mid to high 80s rather than the express pace that he’s capable of reaching, but that may well be on purpose. Dipping the speeds slightly means more movement while the ball is still new.

It’s a maiden for Archer.

West Indies 23-2 (Carty 8, Hope 3) Overs: 6

The commentary team on TNT Sports (where you can watch this game) discuss the qualities of John Turner, and why he’s been compared to bowlers of the pedigree of Glenn McGrath and Dale Steyn.

Turner will have to go some to be anywhere near those two, but you can see why he’s interested the selectors, with his smooth action, high pace and extra bounce. He’s not totally dissimilar to the man bowling at the other end.

Four runs, including a leg bye, come off his latest over.

West Indies 19-2 (Carty 5, Hope 3) Overs: 5

Archer is bowling nicely here, searching for that movement on offer with the new ball and keeping things tight. It’s helping build pressure, playing a part in the wickets to fall at the other end no doubt.

Two runs come from his third over.

WICKET! West Indies 17-2 (Carty 5, Hope 1) Overs: 4

Evin Lewis, caught Salt bowled Turner, 4 (6)

That’s a huge wicket for England and the first failure for Evin Lewis in his third game back in the ODI setup.

Turner angles one across the left-hander and it’s gloved down the leg side where Salt takes the catch – perhaps a slightly fortunate one for the bowler, but he’ll take it.

Luck wasn’t on the side of England’s opening bowlers the other night, but they’re getting the rewards this time around.

A single from new batter Shai Hope and a clip for four by Carty get this new batting pair ticking over.

West Indies 12-1 (Lewis 4, Carty 1) Overs: 3

Lewis picks up his first runs of the game, pulling Archer away for a hard-run three as the ball slows up in the outfield.

Five runs come from the over.

WICKET! West Indies 7-1 (Lewis 0, Carty 0) Overs: 2

Brandon King, caught Cox bowled Turner, 7 (10)

John Turner is an interesting bowler – capable of reaching speeds approaching 90mph and with a high release point that extracts extra bounce.

He starts a little bit off line, offering King the sort of width that he thrives on, and the right-hander carves away a beautiful cut shot for four and picks up two more through the off side.

But the width eventually proves King’s undoing, as he goes after one again and slices a drive into the ring where it is superbly held by Jordan Cox.

That is Turner’s first international wicket and he is mobbed by his teammates.

He troubles new batter Carty too, getting one to duck back in and finding the inside edge, with the ball cannoning into the pads.

West Indies 1-0 (King 1, Lewis 0) Overs: 1

Archer starts beautifully, playing in back-to-back ODIs – which is encouraging from a fitness perspective.

A single off the final ball of the over denies him a maiden to start, but there’s movement on offer and Archer is right on the money in terms of line and length.

Here we go then, the players are out in Antigua and England will bowl first. The scorecard may not have reflected it, but the new-ball spell from Jofra Archer and John Turner was the high point of England’s performance in the first ODI, with the pair both finding good movement and troubling the openers.

The sun is shining in North Sound, with a strong-ish breeze across the ground and a bit of cloud and potentially even rain about.

West Indies: 1 Brandon King, 2 Evin Lewis, 3 Keacy Carty, 4 Shai Hope (capt and wk), 5 Sherfane Rutherford, 6 Shimron Hetmyer, 7 Roston Chase, 8 Shamar Joseph, 9 Gudakesh Motie, 10 Matthew Forde, 11 Jayden Seales

England: 1 Phil Salt (wk), 2 Will Jacks, 3 Jordan Cox, 4 Jacob Bethell, 5 Liam Livingstone (capt), 6 Sam Curran, 7 Dan Mousley, 8 Adil Rashid, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Saqib Mahmood, 11 John Turner

ALASTAIR COOK PULLS NO PUNCHES

TNT Sports have Sir Alastair Cook and Jason Holder in the studio with Kate Mason for this tour, and the former England skipper was pretty strong on the batting issues England are facing across all formats.

SHAMAR JOSEPH GIVEN A RUN

Alzarri Joseph bowled with heat on Thursday, but he was a little expensive and West Indies aren’t short of quality options, so decide to rotate and bring in his namesake (and no relation) Shamar Joseph for his first appearance in ODIs. It’s been Test cricket where he made his name, but he has all of the tools to be a superb ODI bowler, and it remains a seriously quality bowling attack.

England’s squad is a little short on batting, but even given the lack of experience in the top seven, it did seem a bit of a stretch to play Jamie Overton as a specialist batter at number eight, certainly in ODIs.

He’s been a very effective finisher in T20s across franchise leagues in the last couple of years, but he’s not quite fully back up and running to be a full bowling option, so in this longer format England have decided to bring in more of a front-line seam option. Saqib Mahmood comes in to strengthen the pace-bowling stocks.

England won the toss and have opted to have a bowl first, with a bit of cloud around in Antigua.

WATCH HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FIRST ODI

Despite the nature of the loss, there were still patches of decent cricket in the first ODI for England. And Evin Lewis’ stunning hitting is also well worth a watch.

Check out the highlights here:

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST MATCH

A new-look England struggled in the opening match of their one-day international series against West Indies, slipping to an eight-wicket defeat in North Sound, Antigua. Gudakesh Motie and Evin Lewis starred with the ball and bat respectively for the hosts, while England had stand-in captain Liam Livingstone to thank for creeping them over the 200-run mark and preserving some respectability.

A CHANCE TO STAKE A CLAIM

It’s fair to say that this is a long way from the strongest squad England can put out in the format, for a number of reasons.

Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett, Brydon Carse and Matthew Potts would all be expected to be in a full-strength traveling party, and there have been noises that Joe Root and Ben Stokes could also be back for the Champions Trophy in the new year.

And with so many big names to return, there are only a scattering of places up for grabs in the long-term… which means that this tour is effectively an audition for a talented young group.

Who can grab that chance? Here’s a reminder of the squad:

Jos Buttler (Lancashire, captain) – T20 series only, Jofra Archer (Sussex), Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire), Jafer Chohan (Yorkshire), Sam Curran (Surrey), Will Jacks (Surrey), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Dan Mousley (Warwickshire), Jamie Overton (Surrey), Michael Pepper (Essex), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Phil Salt (Lancashire), Reece Topley (Surrey), John Turner (Hampshire).

ENGLAND LOOK TO LEVEL THE SERIES

An eight-wicket defeat in Thursday’s opening game of the series was a bit of a wake-up call for an inexperienced England squad, with captain Liam Livingstone and coach Marcus Trescothick both coming out post-game with some quite strong lines about need to adjust in the remainder of the tour.

That response starts today.

Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of West Indies versus England. Stay tuned for build-up and live text commentary of the second One Day International in Antigua.
