Back-to-back overs without a boundary for England. By my calculations, that's the first time that's happened today.

And yet, Duckett and Root have still added 13 runs to England's total during these two overs.

Well Carlos, your wish is Shai Hope's command.

Here comes the left-arm spin of Gudakesh Motie.

I am looking forward to seeing some left-arm bowlers bowling to the left-hand batter, Ben Duckett. It often drags the batter out of their comfort zone and forces them to play which gives you more chances.

You lose a wicket, you gain an opening.

Ben Duckett runs two off the final ball of the over to bring up his 50 off just 34 deliveries.

In a word: fluid.

100 up for England inside 13 overs. A diving Jewel Andrew can't prevent Joe Root from adding another boundary to the tally.

England's run rate is above eight an over.

Since the start of 2024, Ben Duckett has averaged close to 69 while maintaining a strike rate of 115 in the first 10overs of an ODI innings.

Only three openers from Full Member nations have had a strike rate higher than Duckett's (Jake Fraser-McGurk, Rohit Sharma and Travis Head), but none have had a better average.

After Alzarri Joseph's miserly over, the pressure is immediately released as Joe Root reverse sweeps through a gaping hole in the field for four.

It's not all boundary biffing from Root and Duckett, however. They dash a few singles to take seven off the over.

It will be interesting to see whether Will Jacks can do what Jamie Smith can do when he is batting at number seven. Maybe he is not going to be kept in the plans for this team.

You want to have clear defined roles and you don't want that top seven changing as much as possible. That's why England were so successful in white-ball cricket from 2015-2019.

You know what, Tom? I think you might be right. Very well spotted. 10 points.

That's comfortably the best over of the day for West Indies. Just two singles from it.

The penultimate ball of the powerplay is a no ball and Joe Root cashes in with a boundary. That just about sums up West Indies' day so far.

England are 90-1 after 10 overs.

Plenty of you have been writing in about the numbers on West Indies' shirts.

The blue is for Blue for Bob Day, which raises awareness of prostate cancer and money for the Bob Willis Fund. Why some of the players have blue numbers and others have yellow, I can't tell you.

That even brought a smile from Alzarri Joseph. It was clever and the execution was great.

None of the batters needed to use that shot in the first few overs so it shows that Joseph is getting the batters out of their comfort zone.

That's quite outrageous from Ben Duckett. He telegraphs what he's going to do but his scooped four over the wicketkeeper's head is still delightful.

However, West Indies have looked sharper since Alzarri Joseph's introduction into the attack.

This is the fourth different opening pair for England in ODIs since the start of the 2023 ODI World Cup. In this time frame, England have had eight half-century stands for their opening partnership but only one century-plus stand.

England's conversion rate is the third-worst among Full Member nations in this time period (after New Zealand and Bangladesh). England's last century-plus stand in ODIs was between Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan against Bangladesh in the 2023 World Cup.

Another 11 runs added to England's total. Ben Duckett is completely unfazed by the wicket.

Ben Duckett, dancing down, picks up Roston Chase for the first six of the day. Huge.

Another bowling change for West Indies, with Roston Chase coming into the attack.

And out walks Joe Root.
