TOSS - England have won the toss and they will BOWL first.

A couple of rain delays shortened the West Indies innings to 35 overs in the first game and rain could be a factor again today, as intermittent showers are expected during the game. Let’s hope the weather doesn’t play spoilsport and we get a full game in. Stay tuned for the toss and team news!

England, meanwhile, brought in four debutants for the first ODI, and their lack of experience showed as they struggled to adapt in a heavy defeat. Their batting unit faltered, managing only 209 runs after being inserted into bat. To keep the series alive, Liam Livingstone and Co. will need a much-improved showing, not only in their batting but across all departments, with a focus on executing well as a cohesive unit.

The hosts were flawless in the series opener, securing a well-deserved lead. A commanding bowling performance set up their victory, and Evin Lewis's entertaining knock took them comfortably over the line. After a disappointing tour of Sri Lanka, where they lost both the T20I and ODI series, Shai Hope and his men will be hungry to taste the success of a series win here.
