    Very well taken, not quite! That was a great dive.

  2. dropped catch

    Smith dropped on 44

    This is getting ugly. Justin Greaves puts down Jamie Smith at mid-wicket.

  3. Pace hasn't worked for West Indies so far so they're turning to spin in the form of Gudakesh Motie.

    Smith scores two fours off first over

    Virat Kohli is in tears in Ahmedabad. The IPL final is over.

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    He did all the hard work but couldn't keep it. At least there's some positive signs for the West Indies.

  6. dropped catch

    Duckett dropped on 15

    'See ya later!' - Duckett hits three boundaries in a row

    Dropped on the boundary. And it goes for four.

    Sherfane Rutherford is the guilty party at fine leg. He had to run to his left but once he got there with two hands he should have taken it.

  7. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Incredible shot really. Ben Duckett got himself in a bit of a tangle, decided to take one hand off the bat and take a swing at it. It ended up being a swat and he's middle it.

  8. 6 runs

    Eng 67-0

    Alzarri Joseph was West Indies best bowler on Sunday but now his first two deliveries have gone for six.

    This is a Roger Federer-style single-handed backhand as one glove comes off the bat as Ben Duckett swings to leg.

  9. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    It can be so difficult for the bowlers in the powerplay, especially on a surface like this where anything that is slightly out will get hit big.

  10. 6 runs

    Eng 61-0

    Now Ben Duckett gets in on the act as he top-edges a six over the keeper.

    This ball has been lost under the covers too.

  11. How's stat?!

    Soham Sarkhel
    CricViz analyst

    Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett are very complementary openers in terms of their strengths. Duckett’s average interception point against seamers is around 1.77m which is amongst the deepest in world cricket while Jamie Smith’s is far ahead, around 2.10m. Duckett prefers playing his shots square of the wicket with only around 18% of his career runs against pacers coming in the ‘V’ in front of the wicket. For Jamie Smith, the corresponding number is 32% in his brief ODI career.

    Target 246

    After a short break while the umpires find a new ball, Jayden Seales does at least get out of the over without any further damage.

  13. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Jayden Seales went for the short ball ploy but Jamie Smith read it. That is a big hit.

  14. 6 runs

    Eng 53-0

    'Wow!' - Smith pulls Seales for massive six

    Smashed for six! I think this has bounced in the stands and gone out of the ground.

    Jamie Smith is flying.

    When Jamie Smith is on form, it's really difficult to find the right length. It can be difficult to find a ball that he won't send to the boundary.

  16. Eng 47-0

    Two more boundaries to Jamie Smith! The second one sends the pigeons scattering.

    Smith has hit eight fours in his first 17 deliveries.

    You can see what they see in Jamie Smith as an opener. Such a clean ball striker, and has proven in the Test game he can build an innings too.

    Target 246

    Confusion all around as umpire Martin Saggers originally signals a wide before changing his mind at the end of Joseph's over.

    Still 11 runs come from it.

  19. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Anything that gets hit nicely at The Oval goes flying. There's a really quick outfield here.

  20. Eng 38-0

    If Shamar Joseph doesn't find his line soon he's going to have to be taken out of the attack.

    Smith flicks another off the pads. AND it's a no-ball.
