  1. Just joining us? You missed two stunning catches...

    King grabs 'absolute rocket' from Smith to take first England wicket

    Chase dismisses Duckett for 60 with 'a stunner of a catch'

  2. Eng 194-3

    Brook 36, Buttler 0

    Jos Buttler was averaging 59.77 when he left the IPL a week ago. Whether it was because the pressures of captaincy had been eased or not, he seemed to find his batting groove again in India.

    Here he has an ideal platform - one that England will want to take full advantage of.

    Seales got through his action well and just induced that drive. Root will be frustrated as he will feel as though he could have struck that one.

    Joe Root felt it was there for the drive but it just held its line and flew through to the keeper.

    Sadly he won't reach England's highest ODI run-scorer today....

    WICKET

    Root c Hope b Seales 57 (Eng 188-3)

    Root caught for 57 by wicketkeeper Hope

    Ahhh. Just after we gave him all of that praise...

    Joe Root chases one outside off stump from West Indies quick Jayden Seales and only manages to get a thin edge on his drive. West Indies very much needed that.

  7. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Joe Root is low risk in all placement. He is so rinse and repeat. He knows where he can capitalise and in which areas and rarely takes a risk.

    Obviously it’s been said many times before, but it is just ridiculous how easy Joe Root makes batting look. It feels like he’s hardly broken a sweat here and has still got to 52 from 62 balls.

  9. Eng 182-2

    Class. All class.

    We had seen the ridiculous from Harry Brook in the previous over but this really is the sublime as the master in Joe Root follows his apprentice in easing the ball off his toes to the rope.

  10. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket reporter at Edgbaston

    Harry Brook's first 13 scoring shots were singles. He had 13 off 19 balls. He then had 25 off 22.

  11. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We haven't seen a shot of anger in a while but Brook moved his feet well and knew exactly where he wanted to put it.

    That sends a signal to West Indies, be ready.

  12. Eng 177-2

    Root 52, Brook 26

    He's a nice guy but Ebony is being very generous to Saqib Mahmood there...

  13. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Looking at England's batting line-up, there is genuine batting to number 11. They have got the ability in this longer form but West Indies are just keeping these two pegged back at the moment.

  14. 6 runs

    Eng 176-2

    Brook 'hammers' Greaves for two sixes in one over

    Oh yes.

    And with fine leg up in the circle Brook now gets on one knee to lift seamer Justin Greaves over the rope 180 degrees from where that previous six had gone.

  15. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That has gone a long way back, nine or 10 rows into the crowd! It sailed over the boundary.

  16. 6 runs

    Eng 170-2

    Munnnncheddd.

    Joe Root is cruising and Harry Brook has elegantly hit that a mile back.

  17. Thanks Elizabeth.

    Joe Root is cruising...

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Joe Root

    Eng 162-2

    Root hits half-century as England build momentum with the bat

    Off the penultimate ball of the over, Joe Root jogs a single to bring up his half-century off 60 deliveries.

    It's the halfway mark and England are 162-2.

    Here's Matt Henry to take you through the rest of the innings.

  19. Eng 157-2

    Given England's recent ODI form, it would be churlish to complain about this lull in the innings.

    The scoreboard is ticking along, the run rate is still above six an over, and Joe Root and Harry Brook are building a partnership.

  20. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England are compiling nicely but it's not very explosive. It has been five overs since the last boundary.

    As long as they can find a way to accelerate at some point, but they are just working it around at the moment.
