Should the total come down due to WI getting 25% of their overs during Poweplay 1? England will only get 20% with the same fielding restrictions
Matt in High Wycombe
Shouldn't England's target be higher than 252? England know from the outset how many overs they've got; West Indies didn't.
Jeremy, Oxfordshire
Still waiting. I'm starting to think we might not get a change.
Anyone got a working DLS app?
Still waiting for confirmation. Either way, the West Indies are in this game because of Gudakesh Motie's knock.
Motie hits 63 to revive Windies innings
The England target might even come down. Don't ask me why.
Hang on, might have gone early with that 252. Forgot about the DLS issue...
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Gudakesh Motie, who rescued his side when all was despair, has to go. Went for the big swing and it's just clipped the top.
He and Alzarri Joseph have given the West Indies a defendable total.
Motie b Potts 63 (WI 251-9)
Potts bowls Motie with last ball of the innings
Bowled off the last ball!
A clever back-of-the-hand slower ball from Matthew Potts has Gudakesh Motie through his shot, but that takes nothing away from a superb knock.
Motie has given West Indies more than a sniff in this game. England will need 252 to win.

Arjun Singh: Please can you tell me what Motie averages against England? He seems to turn into Sir Garfield Sobers against us.
He averages 34 against England in ODIs, Arjun, and 63 in Test cricket (by virtue of not being dismissed).
Motie squeezes Potts behind square on the off side. Windies scamper three to reach 250. That looked a long way away an hour ago.
Matthew Henry
BBC Sport journalist at The Oval
After those warnings for the over-rate earlier, Harry Brook clearly has it on his mind. He held both arms in the air after that catch was taken to tell his fielders to stay in the deep.
Maybe it's partly because they're fielding next to each other in the ring but it's also notable how much Brook has been talking to Ben Duckett in the field.

That partnership ended with 91 from 11.2 overs which is the highest from an eight-wicket partnership against England in an ODI.
Shamar Joseph is the new man. Mahmood pins him with yet another short ball.
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
This fine partnership has been broken. One that has brought the West Indies back into the game after that abysmal start. High in the air and easily taken by Matthew Potts.
Joseph c Potts b Mahmood 41 (WI 245-8)
'Fine partnership' broken after Alzarri Joseph caught by Potts at third man
Finally.
A stand of 91 is over and Alzarri Joseph is out. Shorter from Saqib Mahmood, Joseph hits it straight up and Matthew Potts moves back from short third to take the skier.
Potts catches pigeons.
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Alzarri Joseph getting a really meaty connection with that again.
England are getting carted here. Saqib Mahmood is back, Joseph clears the front leg and absolutely clobbers it over cow corner for six.

Test Match Special statistician
Image source, ReutersThe partnership is now at 84 and is the joint second highest eight-wicket partnership for the West Indies. It's the highest eight-wicket partnership against England.
Slashed away for four by Joseph. That 240 I called is going to be sailed by.

CricViz analyst
That is the first time a West Indian batter from position 8 or below has scored a half-century against England in England. Impressively, 50% of his runs in this innings have come in the 'V' in front of the wicket.
At 80, this is the highest eighth-wicket partnership for West Indies against England in an ODI.
